SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN....

YES, its almost that time, Christmas.

Do something different this year,

start a family tradition with these Christmas countdown boxes.

Fill each drawer with a small gift, snack or like our KD does,

a note with something to do for fun or for others.

She it teaching her children that Christmas is more than

just Santa coming with presents.

I am also making homemade  frames, no two alike,

We all have that vintage photo we love, frame it in one

such as this and make it part of your xmas decor.

Or have me make one for each year "Santa mall picture"

you have taken of your little ones. Just like special ornaments they make

each year and reminisce about when it comes time to decorate,

they will love when these frames come out with their Santa pictures.

I also can make your homemade Christmas cards,

provide me a picture and I will scrap them.

Sending Christmas cards is something that is becoming

obsolete try and keep it going.

It keeps our postal system in business and there is

nothing like getting mail for some.

The inside of my cards are always blank,

I want those who send them to write love notes in them.

To the ones they send it to, this is another that

is fading fast and yet, it can make such a difference in 

someones day to get that card in the mail.

I will be working on packets of thank you cards

that can be personalized if you order.

Thank you cards are also becoming a thing of the past.

With emails and internet and texts,

we have used these things to thank others.

Teach your little ones to write and learn to mail 

their own thank you cards with love letters.

It will be something that they will carry with them

and hopefully teach their own children.

A nice Christmas gift to give to someone would

be a packet of thank you cards with their names or initial on it.

When the giver of a gift gets a card in the mail from

a child they love thanking them, well I can't tell you

what it does for that someone.

Let me know what I can do to help. 

I will blog the card packs when I make some

as I plan on giving each of my grand girls a pack

for one of their Xmas gifts.

love, Mumsie over here at

MUMSIE'S COTTAGE!
