hi!
My name is Claire, I am the editor of heart handmade uk and Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year! With that in mind, I thought this year was as good a time as any to create some simple and easy DIY projects. Of course they had to be created in the most budget friendly way possible! If you already have a stash of craft supplies and the ‘essential tools’ every crafter has, then you are going to be well within the budget this year! Every holiday season I have the curtains pulled, candles lit and my incredibly tacky, festive jumpers on. I love Christmas, all of it! Every smell and taste of the season saturates my home which makes me get rather giddy and full of festive cheer! With each November, comes the mammoth task of beginning to make the gifts, write the cards, prepare the December Daily* album and get the decorations out of the attic in time for the season. I keep it all contained within one room as each year I will get some complaints “Christmas already?!” Yes! It takes time to make things! I hope you enjoy all of the crafts in this little publication and remember to enjoy yourself! Don’t forget to add your projects to the flickr group! *December Daily with Ali Edwards scrapbooking and memory keeping project for the holiday season.
