Oh dear, I forgot to share this! I know this set has been retired, but I found it really difficult to part with and I think it’s going to be a keeper. I tell a lie, in fact there are two sets – the Sunshine & Rainbows bundle as well as the Magical Day Bundle! […]
Christmas Countdown Series #10 of 12 – Candy Cane Stocking filler
I found these large candy canes which are approximately 7-1/4″ in length and 2-1/4″ in width at the crook end and it had been on my radar to use them as stocking fillers rather than hanging them on a tree. As I wanted the candy cane to stand out, I decided to make my own […]

Happiness Surrounds & Christmas Traditions Punch Box
I’m making the most of the newly released “Happiness Surrounds” set whilst I can because it’s only available until 30 November!
