Merry Christmas Everyone!


I hope you are all ready for the festivities? I got really ahead of myself about a month ago, but I've been quite busy at work over the last couple of weeks such that Christmas preparations ground to a halt. Fortunately, Tim popped out yesterday while I was working and grabbed a few last minute bits and pieces. Of course now I have run out of wrapping paper (I thought 5 rolls would be enough?). :-)

Large hamper for my lovely next-door neighbours

I've made rather a lot of presents this year - candles, chocolate lollies, jams and marmalades, my hot chocolate mugs, and I've assembled lovely local produce into mini gift sets and hampers.


When I have bought, I've tried to buy handmade - this year I've bought from the wonderful and highly talented Racheal over at Made With Love. My friend also made me these celebration hampers - don't they look great? You can find her on facebook here.

Just a reminder if you would like to chance to win a Cath Kidston bag or £50 worth of Cath Kidston vouchers and take away the post-Christmas blues go on buy a ticket in my Charity Raffle and donate to charity at the same time! Details here.

I hope you have got everything you need to do done, and can relax and enjoy yourselves. I shall be signing off later so have a wonderful time!!
