.....and that makes me very happy! I LOVE Christmas and I have be busy making lots of handmade gifts and decorations over the last few weeks.
I am having a big Christmas dinner party on the 22nd December and my colour theme looks like this......
This is also my new colour theme for our Christmas tree. I really have so much to do...so many ideas...and of course I always go over the top but I love doing it and wouldn't have it any other way.
My invites look like this.......
The actual invite is in a clear plastic envelope and I blanket stitched the edges and made the little foam Christmas trees. The envelopes were inspired by both Kim and Janelle and if you haven't checked out Kim's great Christmas Spectacular then you are missing out.
Here are some other gifts from Kim's classes that I have been working on:
I stitched 9 felt bags for Abi & Charlotte's friends!
I have made 18 little hair clips to go in the bags!!! I am also going to cover some little note books and make some bookmarks to go in them as well.
Happy Days
