Last of my Xmas gifts

Good afternoon everyone, oooh I spy the sun in the sky today and it ISN'T raining either  woo hoo ! Just a few more Xmas bits I  made recently, hope you like them. I hope you are all ready for the  big day now. I have most things done now except the food prep which  I will do tomorrow, so pleased when that  is all done and I can relax. 1st pic is of one of the bags I made to put some handmade truffles in, so easy to make, no cutting just folding. I used a Spiltcoast tutorial for  them. 2nd pic is of more bags, I used Pink petticoat snowflake paper & a Spellbinders Fancy tags two label and stamped a sentiment.3rd pic are some truffles I bought. I made some myself ( and they are delicious) Grand Marnier ones and Rum ones, but they do have to be kept in the fridge or freezer. I will give them to my guests when they leave or let them try them just out of the fridge/freezer while they are here. I will put these ones  here in the little bags.Forgot to add a white ribbon before I took  the pic! 4th pic is side view of the bags with truffles in place.5th pic is my soaps I made all wrapped up, I added a white flannel, nailbrush & shower ball foldy thing ( sorry can't describe it any better ).They  have a large white ribbon around them but of course I didn't  take the pic showing that doh! 6th pic are some scrummy choc  chip, pistachio & cranberry cookies I made as gifts too.I put some  sea salt on top of them and they are to die for. I had to adapt  the recipe I found as I added other stuff to them. I will wrap them tomorrow in  cellophane and tie ribbon around too.Last pic are two beautiful little stools my OH handcrafted for our two young grandsons when they are a bit older.He made the legs part first, then added the string stuff weaving on top. The weaving took ages as he had to drag the string through each time ( long string) & it tangles almost every time. I think the babies will love their little stools.  I wish you all a very Happy Christmas whatever you have planned !

Little stools made by my clever & very patient OH  for our two young grandsons.

Snowy snowflake card & more Xmas 'bits'

Hi everyone, here is another DT card made for 'Beccy's Place' again. The digi  image is called 'Snowy snowflake' isn't he so cute with his hanging snowflakes on his hat. Sadly there will be just one  more DT card made for 'Beccy's Place' as I am stepping down from her team. It was such a difficult decision as I just adore her  gorgeous digi's. As I will be babysitting my young grandson  Alexander for two days a week next year when mum goes back  to work , I fear I will have much less time to make cards.Here is a pic of more soap I made yesterday and some raspberry jam  too . I made 9 jars of jam, smelled fabulous too, will add  ribbon etc. later. ps.My  poor grandson Charlie has the winter vomiting virus yet again and ended up in A&E yesterday as he couldn't keep  even water down. He is better today thank heavens, always such a worry for young babies though.

 

Smells soooo fabulous !

 

Made 9 of these....must make some scones now too!
