Christmas was mad this time. I decided to make more or less all Christmas presents on my own and I don't know if it was a good idea or not since I haven't heard anything back from the recipients at all. I just hope they've had their present by now otherwise I will ruin the surprise big time with this blogg entry lol!
Anyway, I worked really hard and ended up burning the candle from both ends. But everything came out great in the end and I was very happy to send these gifts off.
I always go into crazy Christmas mode around the holidays and I can help but giving myself a million projects. Besides the hand-made presents I also managed to put together my first ever ginger bread house. I only watched my mum making one when I was a kid and all I could remember was that she kept burning her fingers on the melted sugar. So I took it extra careful when using the sugar. I was a pain in my backside though. It hardens so quick when you remove it form the saucepan and it is hard to do things fast when you got brittle gingerbread. But I managed to put it all together in the end, and was very please with the final piece. The icing was a bit to runny. Icing and I are not very good friends and I don't think we ever will be.

I also decided that instead of getting ready wrapping paper for the Christmas present I wanted to make them on my own as well. So I ordered snowflake stencils, brown paper, and many different Christmas ribbons. I really enjoyed making my own present. It give them much more personality and I think people appreciated it as well.
Other than that I had a great Christmas. But I will tell you more about that in another entry since this one is already way to long with way to many photos.
