10 Ways to get inspired...

Hi all!
I hope you´ve had a fantastic weekend so far!?
With only 2 weeks to first Sunday of Advent my mind has now really started to think about the upcoming Holiday.
I have not yet gotten into the holiday spirit but my dear friend Charlotta over at' Space For Inspiration' had a fantastic Christmas post the other day(with tons of inspiration) and this has given me a ride!
Charlotta also inspired me to take on and make my very own list of '10 ways to get inspired for Christmas'.
So here it comes!

First of all I would like to start with a very basic cleaning of the house.
It might not feel very fun but once its done, it feels all faboulous!
Masison Belle Christmas clean is a non-toxic all-purpose household cleaner suitable for daily cleaning needs. It has a fragrance infused with orange and cinnamon and will give your home the wonderful scent of Christmas!

Then I would like to add Mulled wine or 'Glögg' as we call it in Sweden.
This is a must for me to get into the holiday spirit!

No.5 on my list would be to put in some Amaryllis.
It´s a good idea to start early to get them into a 'Christmas bloom'!

I have this year started a new tradition in my home.
You see, I have for the first time ever designed my very own 'Advent candlestick'.
With some black candles(from the store of course:)), paint, homemade stencils of numbers and a rough steel tray made by the spouse, the result came out like this...

Find time to make some homemade Christmas sweets.
These peppermint sticks look beautiful and is suppose to taste even better!
Leave them out in a dish when trimming the tree
or relaxing by the fire with a mug of hot cocoa.
