Pre-Christmas crafting

We didn't have much time for crafty pursuits during November and December mainly due to flu, tonsilitis and other unhealthy afflictions.

However Jack and I did manage to create some very personal cards for all his carers at daycare. There are 14 including one who recently left on maternity leave. As Jack goes five days a week he is looked after by all these lovely ladies and we wanted to say thankyou.

Here is Jack displaying the results.

We painted some sheets of paper then cut out christmas tree shapes and glued them to pre-folded cards. Shiny gold star stickers added a bit of bling, and Jack pilfered a few to decorate his hands. Jack wrote a message inside each card, and I added a translation :)

Fat quarter swaps

I've signed up for the fat quarter birthday swap at EB this year. Still a few months to go before my birthday so I'm having fun putting together packs of birthday goodies for the girls in the swap.

Here are the last two I sent off. I'm actually finding it a challenge to get it in the post on time and I've yet to get one sent out and recieved BEFORE the birthday - still 9 months of the year so i'm sure I'll manage it eventually.

I hope the girls liked their pressies!
