Six Days to Go!

I can't believe that this time next week Christmas will all be over.  Actually, for me it's never over.  I listen to Bing singing White Christmas all year round.  And as soon as the gifts are unwrapped I'm thinking about next year. 

This year I've really been enjoying the Christmas spirit of my fellow doll makers and bloggers on the web.  These past couple of weeks I've been really loving Angry Chicken, a blog written by Amy Karol.  She has been doing some fantastic baking in jars and has great little Christmas gift ideas.  I especially love these hilarious free printable gift tags that she has posted to download.  These tags say 'all those things that probably should be left as an inner monologue'.  If you've got family and friends with a good sense of humour then go for it.  I think my in-laws find my tags and gift wrapping style lovely and they certainly appreciate their gifts (especially if they're hand made), but these tags would really confuse my father-in-law.  The first year that he saw my cinnamon stick and raffia gift-wrapping style he got the funniest crease in his forehead and asked what it was for. My 'just decoration' explanation did not smooth out the forehead crease. If you like my little gift bag and tags, I downloaded them for free from Prim Doodles.

Another blogger and friend Romona also had some cute free printable gift tags linked on her blog, plus some other fun Christmas stuff.  So check it out.

I also found a great bonus Santa Claus freebie from Jan Horrox's newsletter.  Here is a great shelf sitting Santa pattern, but hurry as it is only available as a free pattern until Christmas this year!
