Besides getting an early start on my Christmas shopping, I am one of those people that loathe anything to do with Christmas until December. In the newsagents the other day I saw the cover of Better Homes & Gardens Magazine and felt a little decorating pang.
I always buy these magazines, thinking ohhhh I can make that. I came across the very cute colour Christmas wreath and thought yeah that would be cool, read the instructions, found out I need to cut out at least 40 odd butterflies and my interest was lost at that point. I love handmade items, just not those made by me 
So this year why not give a gift that is truly unique and choose a handmade one. If you are clever unlike me, why not something you have made, or how about something by someone else who is clever.
Here are few of my favourite picks to pop under the tree this year at Christmas just to get your started.

Hi Jemma,
)
Thanks for featuring my little bookmark!
In regards to the decorating, I know exactly what you mean! I have a stack of these magazines and I get all excited planning out what I am going to make. But do I really have time to make anything? Ummmmm….no.
But it’s nice to look at the pretty pictures. ;o)
Cheers,
Sarah
