I thought I would share with you a crafty project I completed for Christmas. As some of you are aware, my crafty mojo has all but deserted me so this blog has been inactive for quite some time. I can't say it has returned in its entirety, but I was sufficiently motivated to create some little cards for a Twelve Days of Christmas project.
This project was a Secret Santa of sorts - 12 anonymous presents inspired by the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Each present was accompanied by a hand-made little card featuring a poem written by me. Some of the presents were closely related to the song, some weren't - so poems were necessary to tie it all together!
They aren't terribly elaborate, but I was happy with how each one followed the same colour scheme and allowed the poem to take centre stage. Stupidly I forgot to note the name of the papers, so if anyone recognises them, please let me know.
It was a great deal of fun and I have written a post about the project which you can read on my other blog here. There you will find the entire story, and photos of all twelve cards. For this crafty blog, I thought I would just show you the ones where the cards looked best.
I am entering into the following challenges:
C.R.A.F.T - Anything Goes
Crafting for all Seasons - Anything But a Card
Divas by Design - Anything Goes
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas
Catch The Bug - Your Favourite Christmas Song
Ah, it's nice to be back. I hope you enjoyed my first crafty project in a while. Remember to head to The Squirrel & The Fox for the Anything Goes challenge. The team have done a fantastic job with their DT inspiration for you.
Hopefully I will see you again soon!

What a great idea and super creative with the poems. I wish I had half that creativity in my brain! : ) Cards don't have to be elaborate to make the recipient feel special and I'm sure these gifts definitely did that! Thanks for sharing at CHNC2.

Tracey, I cannot find a way to contact you on the Squirrel and the Fox website; I don't see any e-mail address listed anywhere. Can you please tell me if you plan on posting the winners for Challenge 73 and 74 on the Squirrel and the Fox? It's beena a while now and I see you posted the winners of Challenge 75 but can't find the winner posting for 73 and 74. Thanks. --Gail. gailannelass@yahoo.com
