Pretty Christmas Packages

I recently joined in with the Social Media Secret Santa fun that the super lovely Chantelle from Fat Mum Slim organised. I mean, giving and recieving pretty presents and getting to know a heap of new bloggers- how could I not be involved.
Here is a pick of what I sent out ...

It went to a lovely mumma blogger that I had stumbled on before - Her name is Sonia and blogs at LionessLady. A quick Thank you to Tania from Chicken Ink for russling up a beautiful notebook for me to give her.

I got sent a beauifully wrapped package last week and vowed to save it till Christmas - well that didn't even last the day and before I knew it I was hanging my lanterns and stamping my new mail stamps all over previously wrapped presents. My gift couldn't be more perfect and I'm so happy I got involved. Thank you to Kerina from livingonlatte who bought for me.

A quick hello and welcome to my new bloggy followers from the SMSS fun and I am so looking foward to doing some more new blog reading over the holidays.

Teacher Presents.... Done.

Yay! Finally put together Louise's teacher presents. I really wanted them to be special this year as Lou is moving on to big girl kinder next year, she has also finshed up at her dancing class which she has just adored this year, so lots of sad goodbyes coming soon. 

 If your looking for really lovely gifts and very reasonable prices you must check out what Iszle has - there are so many styles and choices - and I thought just a little different. 

I picked Scrabble tile necklaces and Pocket mirrors this year. I also made up some pretty chocolates using a PDF file I purchased from Fairydust Stylish Stationary. Toni is the invite design queen!! You must check out her birthday printables, they are gorgeous.

(I may or may have not already purchased Evie's first birthday set) 

YES! I know she is only 8mths but I do like to prepare these things nice and early and the planning has already started.

Here is a sneak peak of the back - my favourite bit :)

Have you done your teacher pressies yet? I'd love to know what your getting or making this year!!

My Creative Space...

I love wrapping presents almost as much as I love giving them.

Fantastic tags from the very talented Amanda
