Well at our house anyway!
We are well on the way to finish our Christmas preparations before we head off on holidays (not too many sleeps to go its sooo exciting!). I feel like this year I have even beaten the mad retail infiltration (or is it that Halloween is now such a big thing that the shops WAIT until after October 31 to put up their Christmas displays???)
Last school holidays Lilly and I had a production line making our Christmas cards...
They are now ready to post complete with 'annual newsy update' and 'cute Chrsitmas pic' !
The girls have organised their presents for their friends, this year we opted for simple lolly bags, I found these great slim cello bags on ebay and had some fun....
Red and green M&M's for some.....and
Red Jaffa's for the others...pretty cool huh!
These cute little Snowman chocolates from Aldi also look great presented in a little organza bag....
So there you have it, it IS starting to look a lot like Christmas and to make it feel even more like the start of the 'silly season' tonight we attended our first Christmas carol singing evening at the school!!!!
Now amongst close friends I am known as "Martha" so craftiness and organisation go hand in hand BUT for those of you reading who are a little scared or repulsed by the mere thought of having your Christmas cards written and ready to send in mid November enjoy this next picture.....
Yes chaos reigns....I know our dining table is under there somewhere!
Back tomorrow with more 'pretty pics' and some great gift wrapping ideas!
Byefor now x
Fab cards, fab gifts!! I am starting to think about Christmas now - it somehow has snuck up on me!!

It has a funny way of doing that! Looks like there could be some
gingerbread treats appearing as
Christmas presents???
