A creative christmas.

Before we are well and truly out of the christmas season and into baking hot cross buns, I wanted to share with you a little snippet of my christmas and how creativity was all around. Whether it was items I made as gifts, or gifts from others, everyone seemed to be on the same page, with handmade, recycled, pre loved gifts and things to encourage our creativity. Here are some photos (that I remembered to take) to show you why this christmas was such a good one.
