I love everything here, I can't decide what I'd want most! The vintage locket (3) is so colourful, as is the motivational pillow (14). And yes, I am planning to dress up my cat in a tuxedo (6). Because that's what Christmas is for. 

The last 2 are specially for my lovely boyfriend, as I know he would certainly hate that amazing blue armchair and not let me near it :( I don't own a vintage typewriter (yet), but I'm pretty sure the novelty of attaching it to a tablet is the only thing that would ever convince him to let me buy one. And the last one.. he loves hot air balloons.. these would look super cute and colourful hanging from the ceiling!

Crafty Creatives and Christmas

So this week my Crafty Creatives Christmas box arrived.. and there was so much packed into this little box! 3 kits (to make fancy beaded baubles, honey lip scrub and felt tree decorations), as well as ribbon, wooden rings for wreaths, all sorts of different beads and decorations, gift boxes and craft papers and card blanks..

Some of my favourite things inside - wooden snowflakes (these just need a bit of thread on them and they can hang on the tree), tiny silver snowflake charms and JINGLE BELLS! There was also some cute chunky wooden tree beads, some of which I've already used to make...

... A Christmas wreath! Just a mini one so far, but it was fun to make and now I want to make a much bigger one for the front door. Ahh, so excited for putting the tree and decorations up!

I was very impressed with the special edition Crafty Creatives box, certainly worth the slightly higher price this time. I'm going to have a go making the lip scrubs next :)
