I looked at that and debated buying one for DD and putting it away until she is old enough. I was strong I resisted, it looks a great bargin but she is only 4 months old :rotfl:

And now I have seen the Christmas Eve Hamper idea so want to do 2 of them and I don't think I have read half of this section yet - lol :snow_laug

Welcome - there more the merrier :rotfl:

I have been humming carols this week so you are not alone.


I have a big list of things to get today, so that i can get a move on making my xmas cards and things. I'm so excited. I thought i would only ever get this excited about going shoe shopping but i think getting organised for xmas is my new addiction.

I am also doing my DF's head in by not allowing him to throw away any box until i have inspected it to see if i can cover it in xmas / brown paper for anything i am making.

But he is being nice today and is cutting out the templates for 48 boxes for me so i can make 2 more calendars. I wonder what he wants???

He said last night that this is the happiest he has seen me in a long time, he says i have a really happy glint in my eye and its nice to see me excited about something.

Thank you

I am also feeling quite excited. Going to have to wait until next weekend before I can start buying bits but also need to finish my list and get a shopping list together for then !!

I am eager to get making but need to find somewhere safe to store things - especially the sweetie boxes.

I also want to go and find the recipe thread because I am sure we are close to the time for making Christmas puddings and cakes. Aslo I reckon the fruity vodka might take time to do.

The list gets bigger as I am going to do 3 Snowman poop bags for son, nephew and a family friend - lol

Glad I am not the only one singing Christmas songs !! Though hubby did shout "but its JULY" down the phone

Also not had time to read everything so is there a quick link to the advent calenders your doing ?? TIA !!
