Christmas decorations...
Most of us have already decorated our houses!
Christmas trees, lights, festive garlands and many other decorative touches!
The difference, however, is made in the small details of decoration!
Small touches that remind us of Christmas and festive days!
It's all about the details!!!

Sunday song party - 5/12/2010
Today is the last song party for this year so I decided to put two songs.
Christougenna (Christmas) by Despina Vandi .
This is a Christmas song! Despina Vandi is a big star here in Greece and this song is an old time classic.
This is not the official video clip. I used this because has subtitles.
This is the official video clip.
The second song is a classic one.

Merry Christmas Everybody

An Italian desert wich is light and tasty.
A desert easy to prepare and with very few ingredients.
The perfect dessert to end a dinner.
Ingredients(For 5 to 6 people)
- 300 gr low fat milk
- 200 gr. cream
- 12 gr. gelatin leaves
- 65 gr. fine sugar
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- strawberry syrop to garnish (or some other syrup of your choice)

We put the milk and the sugar in a saucepan with medium heat. Stir until the sugar melts and when it is hot enough we add the gelatine leaves (which first we have softened in cold water) and we stir until they melt. Then we add the cream and the vanilla extract and we stir for about a minute and a half.

| Divide the mixture in bowls and put them in the refrigerator for 3 - 4 hours |
|
| We serve with the strawberry syrop! Enjoy!!! |

Let's talk about magazines....
There are Magazines for all tastes ...
Magazine for the home, for the fashion, gossip magazines, cooking magazines, about fishing or science and many more ...
At each stage of my life I had different preferences. As a child I wanted magazines with cartoons, as a teenager I wanted magazines for teenagers(Fashion, music, movies), later I wanted magazines for fashion and style, and now all I want to read is magazines for decoration, for cooking, for crafts pretty much anything has to do with the housekeeping.
 |
| How much I love to sit comfortably on my couch and read my favourite magazines, drinkink my coffee or my tea! |
 |
| My favourite magazine ever... If you like your house to be featured in the magazine you can email some snapshot of your house 25_beautiful_homes@ipcmedia.com |
Another favourite.....
 |
| Real food is a Greek magazine about cooking and household |
 |
An old time classic I just love it... What is your favourite magazine and your favourite place to read it? |

Time....
It's been a while since my last post. It was a long week. My son didn't go to school because he was sick. So many things to do at home and time....? Time was so limited! I had to manage my time properly in order to catch everything.But that was not entirely possible, something had to be sacrificed so I sacrificed my blog!Anyway things now are back to normal.
I'm in the process of decorating my house for Christmas.
