Christmas Blog Along.

Ok so I followed Skip's lead and joined up to this Blog-a-long. From the 1st of December, the aim is for me to post a blog everyday, until the 24th December. Let's see how this goes. I've never done anything like this before, so it will be interesting for me.

Christmas Card inserts.

Just thought I'd show off a couple of designs I've been playing around with to go inside our Christmas Cards this year.

might do a few more over the next few days, as I want to try and get some nice family photos with hubby in as well.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Everywhere we go..

I love that song.. Plus I can't believe that Christmas is 5 weeks away tomorrow. I'm not even organized. I have all the Adult's presents ordered and 20% made, but have sorted nothing out for my own children.

I guess with organizing a 30th birthday, a 3 year old party, and the girls arriving, Christmas is the last thing on my mind, when in reality it should be the first. Oh well, I'll get there.

I went into Ned's the other day, and found the most gorgeous little Christmas tin's with teddy bears on them, so this year, insted of Bon Bon's I'm going to make up tins with goodies in them. I've raided some old Bon Bon's and opened them up, so each tin will have a Hat, the toy out of the Bon Bon, some chocolates, a Christmas Tree ornament, and for the Ladies/Girls a pair of earrings each, for the boys, a matchbox car each, and haven't decided on the Men yet. But I'm sure I'll find something for them.

 

 

Photo's at last.

Whoo hooo...

Now that I've got my camera AND internet back (don't ask about the net side of the things) I can post a few photos..

This is the pile of squares that I said I've been cutting up over the past few days. Now that they're all cut out I can start sewing, and might even do that tonight with a few good DVD's. I'm kid and hubby free tonight, so perfect excuse to sit down with the sewing machine.. yay....


And the place mats. This is 52 cut out, I still have another 8 to do, and another 10 lots of border to cut out, but ran out of the border, so will have to wait till I can get to spotlight in the next week or so to get some more.. Such a HUGE project, not sure if I'll do quite as much next year, but will wait and see.


Look at all that sewing that I have to do. Luckily there isn't too much more to cut out, and sewing them together is quite easy!
