Hen Party

Well the last few days have consisted of sorting my sister's hen party.  I have been looking at favours, games and decorations.  Red and black will be the colours as it is so close to Christmas.  In fact, since realising this, my sister has now decided she wants to theme to be Christmas now!  So Mrs. Santa's, Elves, Snowmen and fairies are on the cards for costume ideas.  Now I just have to finalise where I am going to get all this from.....  I would put up pictures of the tags and decorations I am going to make this week- but I can't just in case she reads this! I will after the event- only a few more weeks!

On another note,  she has finally sent out all of her invites for the wedding now!  Exciting times.  I can't decide whether to do an official invitation to the hen party or not.  As I have created a facebook event so that I could keep in contact with everyone over arrangements.  However it feels like the event warrants an invite.

Tomorrow me and my partner are giving to the needy this Christmas by taking part in the 'Shoebox Appeal'.  I hope some of you are doing something similar.  At this time of year it is so easy to get wrapped up in the commercialisation of the holiday that we forget those who have nothing, or very little.

Over the next week I will be making decorations and shopping for favours.  What are some of your creative projects over the next week?  I would love to hear about them!

Happy crafting!
