Wow I have been SO busy trying to get all my Christmas Orders out (no matter how often you try & tell people to be early, it’s ALWAYS a last minute rush in December!).

I think I am done on my Christmas shopping now – all wrapped and under the tree apart from the few bits I am still waiting for from the postman (the pic below was taken BEFORE I wrapped the pressies!).

It’s always extra busy here in the run-up to Christmas, as it’s little madam No.1’s birthday, so we have to find time to fit in birthday celebrations and make it special outside of the whole Christmas madness that is going on!

The nativity play was last week, which went really well – I was kind of hoping the practising of songs from it may stop now it’s over, but I am still hearing “Hey Star!” pretty much every minute of the day…. :-/

They’ve had their school Christmas party & school dinner this week, as well as visiting the local hospice to sing to the old people, which apparently went down really well! Just the Grandparent’s Christmas Sing-a-long to go on Thurs & the Carol Service at the church Friday morning & then school is over until the new year!

Not that it stops with the end of school, next week we are expecting many visitors for the 7th birthday celebrations, we have her bowling Party & we are off to see the local pantomime!

Hmmm, I think I should prob be making a cake this weekend too….

I shall no doubt not be back before Christmas & New Year are over now, but wish you all a wonderful time whatever you are doing :-)

Before I go, I must do a QUICK plug! My Folksy shop shuts tomorrow morning (Fri 16th Dec) until the new year, but I am currently having a sale – so if you are short of a few gifts or stocking fillers please do have a browse! It’s free postage this week for orders of £15 or more – postage will be refunded after order is placed.

Merry Christmas!
