The Twelve Crafting Days of Christmas

After 5 years of being a stay at home mummy, next year I plan to return to “Real Employment”.  It occurred to me that this would probably be the last year I would be home with kids during the month of December to really enjoy and savour the Christmas build up.

I wanted to make the most of it so we got busy during December doing lots of Christmas crafting, kids cooking and attending various Christmas events.  Here are some of the crafting and cooking projects we got up to.

I often mention on Facebook how difficult it is to get a picture of both children together and both looking at the camera, so I thought I would share with you a recent attempt to get one such shot.

We DID IT - Well Sort Of
