Handmade Christmas

Every year I get organised in about August and plan out the Christmas baking and all of the gifts I am going to make. Most years I get to about now and realise that I am going to have to pull some late nights to get it all done.


Last year saw me frantically sewing up a pressie for my niece while J and the kiddoes waited in the idling car.





This year I am again doing the last minute rush...but it is not frantic...yet.





One quirky idea I saw online last week and justHAD to add to my list is this...





If you happen to be one of my siblings don't look further cos it'll spoil the surprise



























Apologies to the original designer...for the life of me I can't remember where I saw these little guys. I shamelessly copied the idea, but the packaging and the reduced sticker were my finishing touches. Each pack has four little gingy's who have been mercilessly munched.

I hope they all get to live peacefully on Christmas trees from here on.

Too cute!! I realised looking at our box of Christmas decos that I have a bit of a gingerbread man "thang" going on so might have to do these next year;-)
