CHRISTMAS!

I hope I haven't scared you, but I just LOVE Christmas, it goes hand in hand with holidays, food family and friends... So I thought it best to get in early with some little crafty inspirations. Not only will they be great for your budget but there is nothing quite as special as something that has been Handmade with LOVE...

 puddings, short breads, cookies, cakes.....

Jams, Chutneys & Sauces, bottled and hand wrapped with just a little corrugated cardboard or cloth tops, a few twists of twine and finished off with a simple tag and cute message

I love simple and this is a gorgeous idea for a handmade advent calendar... White tags, with printed numbers and decorate to your hearts desire.. this one is organic and fresh and your waist line will thank you!
