Making Everyday Bright – Table Favour. One of the best things during the festive season is to dress a table and what better way than to make one with the Making Everyday Bright to make a table favour with. What I love about Christmas is that there is such a variety of chocolate in seasonal […]
Ho Ho Ho
I usually only make a handful of handmade cards for a small selection of people on my Christmas card list, but this year, I made all of them instead. Consequently I needed really simple designs which required just a little stamping and some gluing and sticking. Santa’s Workshop Memories & More cards were ideal. […]
Quick Easy Gift tags
Today’s video is on gift tags. I don’t believe in spending a lot of time in making gift tags into mini works of art. They are functional and necessary to identify which present is for whom. This time of year, we need to prioritise which tasks deserve more of your attention and those that do […]

Have you heard of Roundpops?
Instead of the traditional candy cane stick, I found these roundpops (yes, that’s what they call them) but instead of being cane shaped, it’s just a round one! I thought they’d make nice stocking fillers, or even table favours or for children to give away as gifts to their friends/classmates and of course it […]
