Preparations for a New Year's Feast

 Preparing for the family to gather to celebrate a new year is always a busy time for us. Even busier than Christmas! We have a feast to prepare, and if anyone knows our son, Dags, that means a LOT of food to be considered. I am taking a small break though while looking things over and sneaking myself a small treat of grapes.

This great table setting is the Magic Christmas Banquet Table by LiViD. It is an exclusive at the Winter's Hollow Dec 8-28. You have room for several people to sit and it has a menu for several different delectable dishes and quick clean up. 

 This time of year means great gifts as well, such as the lovely gloss lipstick shown in the insert by 7 Deadly s{K}ins. It was one of the many advent gifts at eBENTO. It includes 4 Omega Lipsticks just subtle enough to bring out your beautiful tones. It went perfectly with the Molly skin also by 7 Deadly s[K]ins. Molly was designed after the Lelutka May bento mesh head. There are several great tones via an Omega head AND body applier and also a shape that can be purchased separately. I am wearing the tone caramel in this post. Now until the 1 of January, they have an Advent Calendar also happening at the main store. A different FREE skin for both men and women every single day!

Little Wood Witch Dreams

 The little wood witch had HUGE dreams of someday being on the Grand Council of witches. But for now, she was simply in charge of keeping the council chambers clean. The council members had lovely chairs to relax in with blooming flowers that crowned the furniture year long. And the small altar with the pillows to relax on and round year table always drew her in. So, after glancing to the left and to the right, she decided it was a great time for a break and settled down into the High Witch's personal chair.
