Christmas with the boys

This year I have been able to spend a lot more time with my boys during the lead up to Christmas and I am enjoying it so much more. All of those Christmassy things that I love are so much more exciting
and take on a whole new meaning and value when you are sharing them with your children.
Please click on some of the blogs I follow, there are so many beautiful ideas, recipes and activities to discover, too many to mention. So many bloggers have created some beautiful FREE downloadable christmas tags and other tutorials, gift and wrapping ideas etc.

For example ~ Christmas tags & paper in PINK found at Domestifluff, check out her whole blog - there is heaps more and she is so stylish - no excuse for crappy gift tags now!

Jenny B. Harris from allsorts has, amongst all of her lovely ideas too see on her blog, has created some gorgeous digital christmas activities for children {which I also enjoyed}. A Gingerbread House to decorate and a little doll to dress in Christmas Clothes - so CUTE!!

Amanda Blake Soule, Soulemama, in her beautiful way, is elving with her family.
She never fails to delight and inspire me.

And in my house...

the over-the-road neighbour brought across some HUGE lollipops 

for the boys a couple of mornings ago!

making more tags, this time with hand stamped balsa wood shapes and scrapbooking paper.
