It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

This Christmas I have decided to give up trying to save money for presents and opted for a more creative and thoughtful way of giving to my loved ones. I'm going to create gifts for people, which would most likely involve me having to get ye old needle & thread out and putting an apron on, with a cooking spoon armed in my right hand.

Some ideas being tossed around in my head at the moment as to what foods I could make... like shortbread, rocky road, gingerbread houses, spice biscuits or even these gorgeous strawberry cream gift cakes.

On the crafty/arty side, I may attempt to dabble a bit in beading, painting, collage work or poetry.

Thinking about all this reminds me that there is only 15 days till Christmas! It's lucky I have so much time on my hands right, especially with no more study to do. Craft/art/cooking could also be a source of relaxation for me, specifically since my life has been somewhat hectic or tiring the past couple of days. I cannot wait to get started. =]
