Christmas in May?

Little things
Yes I have started on my Christmas presents - well the wrapping at least! Because I still had so much left from my Tis the Season and Dear Santa pads following my Christmas album I thought Id be a little industrious this weekend and transform some basic papier mache boxes into Christmas packages (ready for a pretty mug, a brooch, some earrings perhaps?) the smallest one I made a tag gift set to send to friends in London. So cold here in Melbourne it may as well be snowing so I can pretend I'm in a Northern Christmas!

Christmas decorations

I bought this pack of unpainted wooden shapes ages ago. Each year I like to do a personal decoration for all the kids in my life (which grows every year!) I loved the way they turned out. Because Kaisercraft had the shapes cut out I kept the painted surface simple and folksy. I love Silas' reindeer the best!
