His and hers personalised mugs!

I posted some of these a while ago but here are a pair that are finished and ready to be put under the tree! I've filled them with hot chocolate sachets, marshmallows and mini candy canes! perfect for chilling out on Christmas night!

Joshua's christingle!

Today was Joshua's school christingle! We took bags of oranges in for them to make their christingles with at school and Joshua could tell me what all the parts of the christingle meant. Christingle is one of my favourite christmas events. I love that everyone comes together to celebrate and we all sing together and light our candles. The smell in our church is amazing once they are all lit! It's a real family event too and has become tradition for his Nana (my husbands mother) to join us in celebrating too. I hope you enjoys the pics!

Bath bombs!

I was so excited about the CCBox 6 kit that I had to make it straight away! It was super easy to do and smells great! I wrapped it up in layers of pink tissue paper and used the white wool from the box to secure it. Then added a pink flower embellishment to finish! Perfect little extra gifts for christmas!

Pom-Pom book mark

My little boy loved this! He is a very keen reader so I decided to make him a book mark. I used the wool from CCBOX 6 to make the Pom-Pom and some Christmas cards stock to compliment the white snow ball like Pom-Pom. I love how it's turned out!

Joshua sending out Christmas wishes!

I love how creative my little boy is and this year he wanted to write all his Christmas cards himself! No so little any more!

Wisbech Christmas Fair!

Today was my towns Christmas fair. It was a lovely day and great to see the whole town coming together getting into the Christmas spirit! There were lots of stalls full of Christmas gifts and Christmas food! Children from some of our towns schools sang Christmas carols. We saw santa, a clown and made friends with two men on stilts! There were bands and music playing all day and my little Summer-Rose even had a dance! The best part of the day for myself were the reindeer! We even got to feed them and it made the whole day even more Christmassy! I hope you enjoy the pictures. What does your town do for Christmas?

CCBOX 6....Ice Ice Baby!

It's that time again and I have received my crafty creatives box 6 and the theme is Icy! It couldn't be more perfect for the time of year an was exactly what I needed this month to finish off my Christmas crafting!

Its hard to believe i have been receiving this wonderful box for six months! I don't know how Claire and Isobel do it but every month the boxes are getting better and better and the kit in this box is definitely my favourite so far! I'd like to just say a huge thank you to them both and wish them a very happy christmas and look forward to what the new year will bring to our boxes!

I found this on pinterest and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out! I've made eight so far but I am planning to make more now as lots of my friends have asked for them for their children! They are so simple to make and look fab!
