I am your hostess for the next Living Lives of Loveliness fair - the Loveliness of Preparation. It was scheduled for December 11th, but I am running a little late so would like to switch it to December 15th (hope that is OK!). Let us know what you are doing to prepare for Christmas. Show us what you are baking, decorating and wrapping! How are your Advent celebrations going? Anything to do with getting ready for Christmas goes!

Please send me your submissions by Wednesday December 13th - either links to blog posts, or if you do not have a blog you can send things to me by email at thebookworm*at*tiscali*dot*co*dot*uk.

I haven't joined a Loveliness Fair (though I love reading through the entries) because it seems I'm always doing things two weeks later than everyone else , but yes, this time it's something I may actually have an entry for! I'll send you my link by the 13th, Kathryn! Thanks for organizing this.

This is so me I could've written it myself. However, I have to admit that it's nice to know that someone else is in the same predicament. I'm there now with Advent. Our Advent wreath is in its box on our dining room table. We don't even have a nativity set because ours broke when we moved from England. It seems, on the surface, like we're so ... so ... secular this year.

Hi Kathryn, my part 1 is here.

Need to clean and organize the study, so I'll be writing Part 2 later today, which I'll put a link to at the end of Part 1.

Thanks again!

Thank you all for your great posts .

I'll be putting the fair together tomorrow evening (which would be early afternoon for all of you in the US), so there is still time if anyone else has anything to send.

Tracy, I'm afraid I didn't get your post. Could you try resending it please? I think my email may be playing up a bit as I seem to be getting mail out of order.

Don't wait for me, but I have a post I hope to send to you. Things have been crazy, though, so there's no telling that it will come. I know it will be a great fair, I'm just bummed I won't be a part of it!

I wonder if I emailed you to the wrong email address. I was trying to figure it out according to the above post. I tried it again. Please let me know if you get it. Otherwise, I'll try to send it by PM, I guess.

Jenn, I said a little prayer that you can get it ready. This fair is so 'you'. But even if you can't, i am looking forward to seeing it on your blog.

ETA Kathryn, I just sent you a PM with mine.

I was just wondering when the next fair was. I don't even have mine done. Well, can't wait to read the fair.
