Christmas Gifts

Sorry it's been quite around here but I'm still working on Christmas gifts, I still have heaps to do. I've seen heaps of these cute star boxes around, If you like to have a go and make one for yourself pop over to Lauren Meader blog for the template.

Here's a acrylic photo frame that I have decorated and added calender.


Sorry about the photo's.
