forty five more sleeps.

how is it that 25 December 2011 is just around the corner, in just forty five more sleeps? where did this year go? i have questions.. but no answers. i don’t like that years fly, quicker and faster and faster and quicker as i get older. sshhhhh. enough of that.

i’ve never been one to be organised for Christmas. you know.. 1. save and put money away in a special little kitty and 2. buy Christmas gifts for family and friends during the year and pop them in a special cupboard. i know there’s amazing people like that out there. i am in awe of you all. i’ve even tried it. i’ve seen the perfect gift for a friend, popped it away.. and yep, i’ve forgotten about it and/or where i’ve put it, i’ve then gone and bought another gift only to find the original months later.

personally, i like flying by the seat of my pants.. last minute.. the pressure. i’m good for it, really and it’s not because i don’t care. i care. in fact, i care enough to be ocd about it.. and down to the wrapping my friends.

all that to say… since starting my own little corner here, i’ve had to be super organised. design, make and prepare products for the coming celebrations months in advance. so i thought to share the ‘celebration’ collection for those of you i am in awe of and for those of you, like me, wait until the last minute.

i hope you love them and perhaps inspire a ‘less is more’ Christmas this year, to make yourself and/or buy locally handmade with love and environmentally friendly products. let’s say Merry Christmas to Mother Earth this year.

wishing you all the best with your preparations!
