One of those days today that has been very productive but I got done nothing of what I had planned to do.
Firstly, I popped out to buy more double sided tape so I could finish our 2013 Fingerprint Christmas Cards. They have a whole blog post of their own (see next post down)!
Here they all are.......

With the reindeer's that were left, Anais used the hole punch to punch a hole in the top of them. We used the leftover twine to hang them off and made Christmas finger print reindeer bunting!
I also made these cards for all the boys........
I also found out today that our local knitting shop had a Black Friday deal that ended today where all posh frilly scarf yarn was reduced to £2 per ball. I didn't need anymore but went to have a look this afternoon and ended up coming home with six balls, ooops! In my defence homemade scarves make nice presents and I can leave them upstairs until I need them.
Later this afternoon I went back to pick up two balls for Jenny and got another ball for me too so I ended up with seven *hangs head in shame!*
I had the last ball of brown Rico Can Can (makes 2 scarves), the last ball of grey Rico Loopy, a ball of purple Katia Triana Lux, a ball of black Katia Ronda, two balls of Katia Rocio in turquoise and red and a ball of blue SMC Argentina Color.
Lovely squishy yarn...........

*** Must not buy anymore! Must not buy anymore! ***
When Mark was in the loft on the weekend getting the Christmas tree down he came across this wreath which I can't actually remember buying but must have brought in the January sales years ago and forgot we had. I have been wondering what to do with it?
We have plenty of old baubles and decorations that we don't use anymore so I thought I could make something with it.......

Firstly we tried to attach everything with wire but they kept falling off so we resorted to the glue gun and between us made this for the living room door.....
I picked up the door hanger with bells on when I was in Poundland earlier.
Mark brought batteries today for all of the Christmas toys, now whenever there is a random bang, a cupboard door closes or anything produces a sudden noise we have Christmas toys going off!
I love this! We used to put it by the fire and when Roman was a baby he would crawl over to it and slap the fire - the "bang" would set it off and it would light up red, blue and green and play Christmas music. They think the boy and girl on it are Anais and Roman!
That's enough for today, 2 blog posts in 1 day, I am blogged out and I still have to tidy up!
On a quiet day I will blog re all of our Christmas books, which ones they used to love and have now sadly outgrown and the kids "baby"Christmas outfits which are currently in boxes in the conservatory which we all enjoy looking at Christmas to remind us how small they once were. xx
