It's Christmas!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house was a mess everywhere cos I'm messing about!

I have been playing around making more tree boxes to hold treats as little gifts and they look good around the house as decorations. So quick and so simple, just print the free template from the sidebar on www.waffleflower.com HERE onto printed paper, cut out, glue together the sides. That's all there is to it other than filling them with little treats and adding a star and few decorations to them if you want to bling them up.
These below were cut from plain or holographic card, then I added triangular panels of printed paper.

I also made some more sleighs with chocky characters at the reins (an idea from Roni of inkstainswithroni blog) and cotton sacks (an idea from my DD2) For my first ones which you can see on last Tuesday's post I used Aldi chocolate bars but here I've wrapped Kit Kats which are a bit wider and rest on the candy canes instead of being stuck to the sides, so they end up far more stable.

It's Christmas Eve and it was so wonderful to receive a parcel from Mike, our postman. 

It was like Christmas.. oops! IT IS CHRISTMAS! but how amazing that this wonderful work of art arrived from Carola Bartz over in California today of all days. 

This was beauty was made for me by Carola and sent in return for a little favour I did for her......just a little favour!

...but look at all these goodies that came too! What a lovely Christmas Gift to receive, I certainly did not expect so much. Thank you so much Carola, I am really thrilled and keep having another peek and fondle of everything.

Don't forget to take a look at Creative Jump Start...

IT'S FREE!!!

I joined last year and found it so inspiring to try out hints, tips, inspiration and quick projects from a variety of creative people as a kick start to the New Year. 

It is a great idea from Natalie Kalbach link HERE

and I can't say this too often....

HAPPY CHRISTMAS
