Day 18 Christmas DIY

And I would never have imagined that my daughter-in-law would be so creative and talented.  These are the cards leftover from her beautiful wedding celebrations.  How she has transformed them into something so meaningful and useful is just magical.  

I was blown away by the beauty and simplicity of this project, not forgetting the perfect calligraphy, which makes it all the more meaningful.  

What more can I say?  

Did I mention, she's cooking Christmas dinner too?  

We are blessed to have her in our family.  

Great job, G!  We're very proud of you! 

Day 14 Christmas Cheesecake

So Stephen joined me to make this no-bake cheesecake.  It was a trial run but it turned out super tasty.  The texture could be improved but the taste is just glorious.  

We tweaked two recipes and came up with this.  So the next round will be even better, I'm sure.

Already it's almost all gone after only two days!  We did give two pieces to our neighbours just to get their reaction.  Hahahaha

It's not a huge cake although it looks huge in the picture.   We'll be making another for our Christmas dessert and for the children to enjoy with us. 

Day 5 Christmas ideas

Some nice ideas I saw on Pinterest that even a klutz like me can do.  Hahahahaha

Recycled toilet paper rolls!  How clever is this?  I'd only need to make four for my family!

Saving them here for IF we decide to host a party, one day.  

C is for Cute and Christmas

These are just so adorable. It would be time-consuming to make so I'll just have to do with this image here for when I really have nothing to do and decide to give it a go myself.  Good idea as a gift, too!

Here are a few others that I found on Pinterest.  I'm saving them here for when I find myself with some time on my hand. Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Countdown: 30 days to Christmas

I'm busy, busy, busy with wrapping today.  I haven't any need to buy many gifts so it's not as difficult as it used to be in previous years.  

However, I always have spare gifts available so as not to be caught by surprise.  

For a change, this might be an easier option.

Countdown: 36 days to Christmas

To think that I threw away so many old cards!! 

Nowadays people hardly send cards but if you do get any, this is a fun thing to do.

What a nice touch for dinner!  Need to practise folding it first!  :)
