Customise your Own Baubles!
I've always loved making creations are Christmas, whether it's illustrating my own cards, gift tags or garland making and I think the reason that I love creating these tings at Christmas is because of the feeling that it gives me that time is lowing down.
For me, there is nothing more Christmassy than spending an evening, sat on the living room rug, by the Christmas tree, being crafty while eating Quality Street chocolates.
