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.
Is it just me, or do you find that throughout the month of December you have 100 post-it notes with 'to-do' lists, gift ideas, and things you could possibly make, floating around the house? The more blogs and magazines I read, the more ideas I get from Pinterest, and the more DIY projects I think will be easy to just 'whip up', the sooner I realise I am taking on too much. As part of my 'Getting Ready for Christmas' series, today I'm sharing the binder I've put together that is [hopefully!] going to help me stay on track throughout this busy Christmas period!
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.
How are you going with your Christmas preparation? I talked in my previous Christmas post about how I am making a real effort to tackle the lead-up to the big day in stages, to try to reduce the stress of a hectic month. After all, especially with kids, Christmas is meant to be a time of fun, laughter and joy!
