Despite not getting a bonus, I am quite pleased with myself this year. Christmas on a budget has made me think a bit differently. Just because money is not in abundance, does not mean that you cannot make it fun with a little bit of thought and effort.
You will remember my post HERE where I mentioned the gifts wrapped in brown paper and my post HERE where I mentioned the DIY crackers.
Well... I am all done!
Here are the gifts before being prettied up:

Here are some of them after:

This is how the crackers turned out:

| Crackers complete |
The hardest part of making these crackers was trying not to get glue all over my fingers from sticking ribbons and tags on. I failed miserably, but I am happy with the result. I am pleased that I have finally completed a project the family has been wanting to do ever since I was a little girl. Now we get quality presents instead of the usual junk found in crackers.
To all my readers, I want to say a massive thank you for your blog love over the past year. I love reading every single comment you write!
I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas filled with love and laughter.
I will be taking a break from blogging - I sure it will only be for the holiday season, but I am not too sure. I am sure I will be back soon.
I will however, still post a weekly round up of my Project 365 (especially for you Kate - so that you don't give up!)
See you all on the other side!
