{Christmas}

I can't believe it's September already and that Christmas is nearly upon us again! I love the festive season...I think even more so now that I have my own family. Anyway, me being me, I'm overly organised as usual and have already bought most of my Christmas gifts! I also plan to make cupcakes for the neighbours but that will obviously have to wait until December!

For the past couple of years we've had friends & family over for mulled wine and mince pies mid-December and I'm hoping that it becomes an annual tradition - I love being the hostess! Last year I found some classy reindeer notecards from Phoenix Trading that I used as invites, but this year I think I will design my own postcards. I found this on Pinterest, and I'm thinking of recreating something similar:

Lewis Family Santa's Breakfast invites

Here are some of the other fun ideas I've found for Christmas on Pinterest so far...

Snowman Kisses Tic Tac Holders

Neighbour gift idea from 'Crap I've Made'

Santa's Beard Advent from Oopsey Daisy

Kiddy art project

Christmas cupcake idea for the neighbours

I do hope I've been linking photographs correctly - new to blogging & not totally sure of the etiquette.

Has anyone else started their Christmas preparations?
