D.I.Y Christmas

There's isn't long til Christmas so I thought I'd share a few D.I.Y Christmas ideas I found through pinterest. I haven't had a chance to try anyone of these yet but there's always next year! Enjoy!

 

Chocolate or Candybar Christmas wrappers 

~ These are so adorable and such a simple gift idea, who doesn't like chocolate?

Glitter Santa Key

~ Kids love the magic of Christmas and this is a fun craft idea to help bring Santa to life. Leave a key for him to get into your house instead of coming down the chimney (or if you don't have a chimney)

Winter Warmer

~ A very cute and easy gift for hot chocolate lovers. 

Christmas Gift Wrapping

~ Sick of the boring christmas wrapping? The above link will take you to a blog with lots of gorgeous christmas gift wrapping ideas.

Christmas Salt Shakers

~ These would be a great little Kris Kringle gift to give to someone as they're unique and handmade. They would dress up anyone's home.

Have you got any Christmas D.I.Y ideas?

'Tis the Season to be jolly

Don't you just love Christmas? I know I do. Living in Australia we don't get a white Christmas which is disappointing because snow makes everything look magical. I also love buying & receiving gifts, I like to see the look on people's faces when they're opening up their present I chose for them. What I also like about Christmas is that you get a holiday to spend with your loved ones, and after a year of work it's nice to have some time off. Yesterday I put up my Christmas Tree and wrapped a whole lot of presents, phew took me most of the day! But there is more wrapping to be done (once I buy some extra gifts).

Above is a cute Christmas video I made using Animoto to showcase some of my Christmassy products available through my Love Sami Facebook page

Do you love or loath Christmas?

Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child "brings joy and hope to needy children around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the Good News of God's love. Since 1993, more than 94 million shoe box gifts have been delivered to children in more than 130 countries". {Taken from Company Overview}

General information

Pack a shoe box with small toys, hygiene items and school supplies for a child 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14 and share the love of Jesus Christ. National Collection Week is November 12-19, 2012. {Taken from the facebook page}





This is such a good cause and I wanted to take part in this last year but never got around to it. So I thought 2012 was the year to do it! I'm very excited to take part and I will be packing a box for a girl aged 5 - 9. What a wonderful way to do something for someone in need over Christmas. Please have a look at their website and maybe you will be inspired to take part too.

Will you be taking part this year?
