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 !
 
 
Truffle bag....made from one A4 piece of card,sorry the pic is dark, light hasn't been great here.

Made to gift some truffles in, PP paper in green, pink and blue, tags are all in silver using same pattern.


Truffles
Side view, they just fit snugly.
 
My  three soap gifts and other extra's to go with them
Choc chip, pistachio & cranberry cookies( they really taste divine, see sea salt on top!). Wrapping them later.
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!
