It’s crazy isn’t it? After the year we’ve had most of it spent incarcerated at home, how does it seem possible that when the whole year seemed to drag, here we are with Christmas just a couple of days away and the end of the year is nigh! I’ll be sad to see this year’s […]

Stocking filler Snow Wonder
Do you still make up stockings for your children no matter what age they are? As they grow into adults and have families of their own, those “little” fillers become a lot more sophisticated! I found these miniature bottles of rum which were perfect for cocktail mixes, and of course, ideal as a stocking filler […]
Gift packaging Sweetest Time

Fancy Fold with Bookmark
Hello everyone. At time of writing, December 2nd is the day the second national lock down ends. Eek, Christmas is approaching and I’m still not sure if we’ll be able to meet with family and friends. We’ll just have to take each day as it comes. Many years ago, we used to have a tool […]
