Crafty Christmas Creations

As Advent started on Sunday, I helped the children make and decorate angels. I used my Martha Stewart circle punch to make 8" doyleys from thin card. The children coloured theirs and stuck tissue paper on them. This is such a simple idea, and works with pre-made doyleys or paper plates.
Steph asked me for a "1st Christmas" ornament for her tree to match the one I made for George 2 years ago. [tutorial HERE] So that was Tuesday afternoon's activity 
I haven't got any of my decorations up in the house yet - although the Nativity Tableau is outside [pictures to follow] 
Rosie is definitely getting in the mood!
