Christmas Presents
I decided to make a start on my Christmas crafting. This are Gratitude Wraps from SouleMama. I am making them for my two, 10 year old nieces and will put in smiggle pens, notebooks and a book of stamps too. I have decided to make 4, so I can pop a couple into the present cupboard as well. They are sewing up super quick. Just need to get some batting and bias binding so I can complete them. I feel a trip to Spotlight coming on.... Hope you've had a productive Sunday too!
Off now to make Sweet and sour chicken for dinner!
Good for you to be organising Christmas presents. I think handmade presents are the best...I'm sure your nieces will be thrilled!

ReplyDeleteLucky Nieces! Wanna adopt me too?? LoL
ReplyDeleteI bet they will use them for many years to come
I made the cake today! Isn't it great that when we need a recipe we can find it on someones blog!! I had to prepare supper for a small Weight Watchers (small in number not in their sizes!!!LOL)group so I made scones and the cake. Doubled the mixture so that I would have a spare one for the freezer and also put some mixture in a muffin tin so that I could taste it too. Very moist and yummy! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteMmmMmmMmM, sounds delicious! I love a cake full of vegetables. It means I can have an extra slice, just to meet my daily veggie requirements of course!
