Christmas Presents and a new Tradition

I get to open some presents today :o)

My lovely friend Shez sent me a gift this week and the note on it said to
open Dec 1st so guess what I did this morning.

 

I am sure I asked Shez where she got her towels from to make these

earlier this week with the intention of making some :o)

I also got some beautiful soap and check out the

Ric Rac Pattern, I just love it. I am looking

forward to making this one up.

 

There is also a present under the tree for the kids but they are a little

slower than me!

 

Huge thank you Shez xx

 

Do you remember my post about a 

New Christmas Tradition?

 

"Wrap up twenty-five children's books

and put them under the tree with a

special blanket quilt next to them.

Before bed each evening,

your kids choose one book to open

 and read together until Christmas."

 

I have "raided" our book case when Lily wasn't looking and also went

to some local thrift shops and picked up some "new to us" books

and last night when the kids were in bed I wrapped them all up.

 

Starting today, one (extra book a day as Lily loves books) gets

picked from the pile at random, unwrapped and read

 until Christmas Eve when a special,

 New Christmas book will be waiting.

 

I just love this idea.

The other gifts that I get to open today are from Julie (no blog)


We agreed to both open our gifts today. 

After I have had breakfast though.

Also, one last thing.
Regular readers would know my "Bonnie and Camille" addiction
so I just have to share in case you haven't seen it yet.

 

"Santa, I will accept an I.O.U."

 

hugs, Sharon
