There are two types of people in the world - those who do craft and
those who don't. I have always been a crafty type - ear-rings, cards,
painted eggs, decorated pots, I've tried my hand at many an art project.
My older sister, Marie, not so much. So I admit it was something of a
surprise when Big Sis suggested that this year we indulge in a
make-your-own, over-the-top Christmas outfit. Challenge accepted. I
already had the world's worst Christmas outfit - a tree dress - and the
addition of lights for the 2013 incarnation was just the trick. There
was tinsel, beads, decorations, musical elements, bows, ties and a whole
of the lot of the best the $2 shop can dish up all applied to clothing.
Yes, there may have been more "tasteful" Christmas gatherings but if
you can't let your hair down and wear fairy lights at Christmas when can
you?

Love your dress! I am not crafty at all - but my mum was and so are many other family members. I sometimes wish I was.
