What is it about Christmas that gets the creative juices flowing? Not sure if it's just me, but I do love creating, making and baking at this time of year, and am looking forward to the kids becoming more involved with crafty activities as they get older. Last week I felt in need of a little project so I decided to make my own Christmas bauble wreath. Here's how I did it!
I'm taking a step away from Christmas planning today to share a recent project that has got this organisational gal super excited - our very own (hidden) gift wrapping station! I've always wanted one spot in the house designated for all our wrapping supplies, and this recent addition to the back of a cupboard door has given me exactly that. Let me show you how we set it up.
Have you ever made your own Advent Calendar for your kids? There is so much fantastic inspiration out there at the moment, and my kids are at the perfect age for some fun activities, so I decided to tap into my creative side and give it a go. Let's take a look at the process of creating an Advent Calendar.
Whenever I organise a space, there are three main things I do - sort and declutter, purge, and problem-solve. Although I'm pretty ruthless when it comes to getting rid of things, I always try to look differently at furniture, and if I'm deciding whether to keep or get rid of it, I try to solve the problem it poses. Could it be saved and improved with a coat of paint, sanding it back, applying a new wood-stain or being covered with a new fabric? If a piece of furniture in your house is looking tired and you're wanting to just get rid of it, think seriously about whether a bit of sprucing up could give it a new lease of life.
