The last few weeks i have been busy getting ready for Christmas ahead of starting work (not that we have a tree yet) but we have been doing lots of craft and put a few bits up here and their.
We made Stained Glass Biscuits, we made a pile of these, the kids favorite part was smashing up the boiled sweets!
We made Salt Dough decorations and painted them the next week one they were baked
Molly and Alex did the Santa hand prints and Fred did the Snowman foot, then each of us put out thumb print on the last one, Ewan was out with his friends, although he still likes making things i think he has got to the stage where he is not as keen as he was, he did make a spiderman thing out of the dough and we got him to put his print down
This has to be one of my favorite makes, i walked all the way into Cleveleys just to but plastic cups so we could do this once the kids got home, instead of fairy lights we put a colour changing spot light of Molly's in it. It is rather fragile though so i have it last at least a bit longer, but at the moment its making the lounge feel Christmasy till we get the tree at the weekend
I had bought a few new lights from a charity shop so i bought a bow and some baubles and we made a bit of a display
and in the morning ELFY GUY WAS BACK!!!!!
With a new jumper we bought him as a welcome back pressie, to make those nightly trips back to the north pole warmer
I got the kids the Snowman & Snowdog DVD for the big screen
I made a Gingerbread house at one of the groups i attend and when the kids got home they picked all the sweets off it!
I am loving the frosty morning we are starting to get, really really hoping for a white Christmas this year
Finally we made these mason jars as presents for the kids teachers, we have a couple more to make yet but i think they are fab!
My new brushed cotton bedding, all i can say is it is absolute bliss! and looks great too!
Hope to put the tree up this weekend x
