Each year I say I will make presents but don’t often get around to it. This year with our budget lower than usual I was determined.
I made calendars for each of the families on both our sides. I bought a calendar template from Sweet Shoppe HERE and just had to add my photos in Photoshop. I then printed them at home onto A4 photo paper and then had them spiral bound at Office Works. I’m so happy with how they turned out.
Here is the calendar for my side of the family.
And then I made 4 Cookie Dough Jars up for 3 of my Perth friends and our lovely neighbour Angie. I followed Bakerella’s instructions HERE. I LOVE these. I really hope they taste as good as they look in their jars though.
I also made my niece a photo tin about her cousins so she can be familiar with their faces and names as se lives away from them. I taught this as a class with a groups of home schoolers too. There are photos on both sides…
This year for my Christmas cards, I only gave to our direct families and I bought my friend Nicky’s handmade cards and didn’t make my own. They are gorgeous :)
I hope you all have a blessed Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Love Gayle xxoo
