A Non-traditional Wreath and other things

First off is the first ever gingerbread cookies I've ever bake, wasn't too shabby even if I say so myself lol! Also a batch of sugar cookies, these were for work colleagues, tomorrow I am baking more for family gifts, I have a very busy few days ahead of me lol!




This is the first snow we've had this year and it disappeared the same day, hurray! And this is the cheeky little robin who keeps spying on me when I'm pottering in the kitchen :)


Lastly this is my wreath, I made it using a twiggy heart from Wilkinsons, ribbon and twine from the £1 shop and the Flower Shoppe and Rock Princess cricut cartridge. I'm quire happy with how it turned out, I decided to change to colours for my decorations this year, I've had black and gold for the last 3 years and wanted something more wintry so I've gone with teals, peacock blues, silver and white and my tree looks so pretty, I'll post a piccy when I get round to it lol!



That's all for today, been making chocolates all day so need to get my gift boxes made and then an early night for me I think lol!

Happy crafting
