Well, a catch up is definitely needed! Here are my Christmas projects from last year.
Fist up - the boxes for my kids and their families. I made the large main box, and the small boxes for their Christmas cash were placed inside. I used a die from Simply Made Craft, designed by English papercraft Helen Griffin. I totally love how these turned out. I designed a different character for each family, and as 2 of my grands no longer live at home, they got their own.
The gnome was made for someone else, I think he's quite cute. 
Next was the boxes for the girls at my weekly social group, they loved them as always. I have such fun making these during the year. Another die used here, it would have taken forever to cut these by hand, so I sometimes cheat. 
Then there was this lot for the staff and my fellow volunteers at the Community Centre, same die as above.
For my art group.
For my "staff" giveaways - the ones I give to all the shop staff in town. My 2 youngest granddaughters come with me to hand them out, they love doing it each year.
