Put together one of dd's Santa gifts and wrapped it. Wrapped a few other Santa gifts. Had a brief panic when I couldn't find the box with most of her gifts. Forgot I had moved it from the loft

Made some paper chains with the kids for their bedroom and then let them loose with all our christmas sticking bits and pieces.

Love the gingerbread people we usually do shortbread biscuits but might try gingerbread this year

Even more Christmas shopping - I keep thinking I'm done and then more people appear on my list

I'm now debating whether to sort out my stash of presents or enjoy the rare moment of peace while ds2 and ds3 sleep

I settled on writing my Christmas cards - with a hot cup of coffee - and it was bliss thank you!

It probably doesn't really count as it didn't end up Christmassy. BUT, I did set out to make polymer clay Christmas dinners for my LO's doll's house characters, until I realised I'd left all my supplies at my mum's when I moved out and I only had three colours ... so I had to make biscuits, bread, etc.

It still felt Christmassy though, as it was a craft, and I stubbornly listened to carols throughout the process, so I've created a nice festive glow around myself.

Please ignore the muffin tray I used to bake them - stupid OH has thrown out all our baking trays, except a pizza tray with loads of holes!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Aww that's lovely

Today I tried to make another batch of the cornflour salt dough decorations. Turns out the bicarb I got this time is a fake. I thought it looked funny. The decorations turned out awfull. I made 3 lots of dough before I gave up and bought some more for a different shop. Will make them tonight , along with sugar cookies, and finish off the party boxes for the kids Christmas party this weekend.

Filled out some Christmas cards I needed to get sent. And indulged in some "Candy Cane Lane" tea. It was sooo yummy.

I also placed my last online order for presents this year. It was a big bill but I can't wait for the stuff to arrive!
