9 DIY CHRISTMAS CARD IDEAS FOR THIS AWESOME HOLIDAY!
Are you looking forward for Christmas time and all the fun and enjoyment that it brings?
Well I definitely am! I enjoy the little things like buying that funny festive Christmas jumper that we are forced to wear even though the heating is cranked up way too much during this time and where your mum always buys those tartan flannel pyjamas EVERY Christmas and when two thirds of your family are already having a snooze by 5pm on Christmas day because they have eaten way too much (and drank too much too!). I also love it when my letterbox gets filled with lovely envelopes containing festive cards from my friends and family from far away with blissful wishes and happy holiday messages. I especially look forward to receiving Christmas cards from my aunt in Harrogate and my nieces in Penrith as they create their own pretty Christmas cards. I always cherish these cards as I know that they have personally made them, and I look forward to seeing their creativity.
