We’ve spent the morning at home today getting a few more things ticked off the list, the heartfelt and handmade idea is fab but takes a lot of preparation. At least in the most part I’ve been able to avoid the malls which I’m happy about, they are absolutely CRAZY!

This morning Grace’s advent calendar said to so a Christmas craft with me so we made some cute Christmas fridge magnet. I picked up this little kit at Spotlight last week and we’ve both enjoyed colouring them in and glittering them up, now just to wait for them to dry.

The other thing we’ve been working on it these cookie trees, Maddi and Georgia came to visit and they decorated their own small trees. We made some bigger ones too as gifts.We used this kit that I picked up at the supermarket.

I think the girls did brilliantly, check out this one Maddi made! Even Georgia who’s only just turned two had a ball decorating her very own tree.

I also purchased this gingerbread house kit from The Warehouse a few weeks back, it’s got all the cookie cutters and piping bags you need to whip up a little cookie house. Last year I didn’t have this and had to measure out the walls and roof etc., what a hassle! Might whip one up for New Years eve, at this point I think we have the sugar levels covered for Christmas hehe.

Whilst I was in the kitchen baking I made these wee rice crackle  Christmas puddings, I saw this idea in the latest Treasures magazine. Easy peasy, rice crackle cake pushed into mini muffin tins, chilled in the fridge then I drizzled the leftover white icing  over them and added some Christmas sprinkles. Voila!
