On the 12th day...

My weekend was fabulous, a busy one but very enjoyable.

Had time to do some crafts, work on some of my holiday gifts and still have time to catch a movie and a party with friends.

First I want to share a little Christmas Tree that I made over the weekend. It was a fun and easy craft that anybody can do, all you need is

1 empty bottle of wine
ribbon
fabric glue or a hot glue gun (whichever one you prefer)
scissors

Now all you have to do is cut the ribbons about 10 inches long and glue them together and the ends.


Once you have the ribbons ready, start to glue them on a straight line around and make as many lines until you reach the top of the bottle.

And for the final result... [insert drum roll here]... it should be something like this...

Taaa-daaah! Behold the "little Christmas Ribbon-Tree"


Pretty, uh?

So I made the little tree on Saturday morning, then in the afternoon I picked up Yanique and we went to watch Happy Feet Two, which was actually a pretty nice movie.

After the movie we walked around Camana Bay, which the area where the movie theater is, went up to their look out tower, walked around the marina and even check out some of their fountains with shells (but no water in them this time).

Saturday evening we had our first Christmas party, I made the kebabs and they were a success!

Hope everybody has a nice week!!!

I thought that you bought that tree in a store when I first saw it. It looks really good!

That´s a REALLY nice tree, wow :-)) It sounds like a wonderful day and I´ve never seen such huge shells!! Here the weather is cold, rainy and storming. I´ve hardly started my christmas preparations 8writing cards, buying gifts etc.) yet due to cold and flue in the family. However, am enjoying the dark evenings with Xmas music on the CD and candlelights all over the living room. Cosy and intense.
Warm greetings in a cold season. xo.

That tree is super cute, and I'm glad you had a great time with Yanique! The views of the marina look gorgeous.
