December Days














December days are busy days!! There is so much going on...parties, night out, school concerts, brownie outings etc. However Miss M and I have managed to do a little festive making together which has been fun...we decorated a gingerbread house, made mince pies and gingerbread men. We also spent a cosy afternoon making simple gift tags. I love crafting with my girl. 


The tree is up and the house is looking quite Christmassy now! I love the festive season...all the decorating, making and baking. 


I have still quite a few gifts to finish off which hopefully will get done in time for Christmas. Although I still have 4 long 12 hour days to get through at work as well as two brownie meetings before then so we will see! 


I will be taking a little blog break until after Christmas but I would like to thank you all for visiting my blog throughout the year and for the lovely comments which are always read and always appreciated.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and festive season!

  17. So much creativity and colour in these photos - your tags are adorable and your gingerbread house is looking pretty splendid. There hasn't been much time for festive baking here, and I've missed it, but I might try and do something before Christmas.

    Anyway, enjoy your Christmas, and I look forward to reading all about it later. It's been just lovely following your blog this year. xx
