The Sunday Post #18 – Christmas Crafts

ByLisa Jayne 


You’ll have probably notice on the blog this week I’ve mentioned Christmas quite a lot. I’ve been getting my Christmas presents organised, and I’m resisting the urge to beg my mum to put the tree up so I can put them underneath it yet. This year I’ve decided I want to try and be a bit more crafty with some of my Christmas presents, and I even thought about trying to make my own Christmas cards.




I’ve never really had much success at making my own cards before, and I don’t really have any papercraft bits, so when I found these card making kits from Hobbycraft I thought I had to give it a go. The kits make it look so easy, and come complete with everything you need to make your own Christmas cards. So the other evening I decided to have a glass of mulled wine and sit down and try my best not to mess up making some Christmas cards. Apart from nearly sticking my fingers together with glue, I managed to make my cards without any real problems! These were actually really fun to make, and now I want to make cards for every occasion.




So this year everyone I know will probably be getting a slightly wonky, handmade Christmas card! I’m feeling even more in the Christmas spirit now, and it’s not long until Christmas!

    It’s been over 7 years now since I’ve had my driving license, and during that time I’ve had two cars. Both of which have been wonderfully awful, rubbish cars, but despite all their flaws I’ve loved them all the same.  I first started learning to drive on my 17th birthday, mostly because I couldn’t wait…

But I’m trying to get back into the swing of things, so here it goes! 001. I finished my second year of uni. Crazy! It’s been insane how quickly this year has gone, and…

    I love museums. I think it goes back to when I was a child and my dad would sometimes take me and my brother to London museums as a great day out. I’ve been to the science and history museums so many times now, but still love going for a day out to them. As…
