Christmas Challenge - Day 23

Christmas Lights

Ok - so I didnt make these. But I did help put them up - lol.

I LOVE houses with Christmas Lights - and while we are very basic in what we have - it is a work in progress - each year we will purchase one or two nice items to add to the collection. The two santa lights we have relate to Bailey - last year he got a surf board for christmas and this year he wants a motorbike (but he's not getting one - lol). I also love the santa surfing as that represents Christmas to us - we often go to the beach Christmas afternoon so the boys can surf while us girls work on our tan.

But what I am most excited about...my husband has promised to take me and Bailey to the USA next year for a "White" Christmas and New Years at New York - I cant wait!! And what am looking forward to most is seeing the Christmas Lights on the houses in the US, the decorations around malls etc - and snow at Christmas time!!

Christmas Challenge - Day 22

Button Christmas Tree

I am making 12 of these little Button Christmas Trees and I will be putting a name near the star and a table setting. Quick, simple and easy - so making 12 didnt take too long.

Christmas Challenge - Day 21

Advent Calendar

Ok - so I admit this isnt new this year - but it is a work in progress each year - and we often use it as the background in our Santa Photos.

This year I put bells on the reindeer and some beads here and there. Normally I skitch lollies &/or chocolates on each number in the picture but I didnt this year as I am limiting Bailey's sugar intake and he has his new draw advent calendar.

Christmas Challenge - Day 20

Christmas Wreath

I love this. Made from pipe cleaners & beads - supa cute - supa easy. I made them in mini size and I am going to make some with the kids tomorrow afternoon - simple but effective (well I think they are).

Christmas Challenge - Day 19

Beaded Christmas Bells

The body of these Christmas Bells is similar to the angels I make - I just included a jingle bell & ribbon bow.

Christmas Challenge - Day 18

Christmas Wreath

I like how this turned out. Made from pipe cleaners and beads - made in a mini size - supa cute.

Christmas Challenge - Day 17

Rainbow Button Braclet

Ok so this isnt Christmassy - but I did check with the Challenge Police (aka Paula) and she said it counted as I was making it for my niece as a added present.

Krysten loves colour and loves the current "bright" colour fashions at the moment. I think she will love this -she loves to have something a little different.
