Christmas Prezzie Wrap Up 3........

Good evening to everyone,
Sorry for the late post today........busy day at work, then we had my son's Christmas concert tonight. What a great night, so lovely to see all the children having a great time on the stage performing their songs. Had quite a giggle at some kids who got right into the festive mood and busted out some serious dance moves......smile!
After a picnic of delicious sandwiches for dinner and a slight case of frostbite (how chilly it was!), I am glad to be home in the warm house.

And so down to business, or should I say Christmas presents?

It's the first post of December's Christmas Prezzie Wrap Up!!

Hi everyone,
OK wow, it is the 1st of December and now I am getting nervous! I haven't made a good dent in my Christmas shopping list and there is only 3 ish weeks left!! Help! It is funny once December comes around, the panic button is hit.......but November, I was thinking..."Oh it is still only November....". So, it is time to take action. If you are like me and are a bit of a last minute shopper, or even if you have to grab a couple of extra gifts.........look no further! I have listed some great handmade gift ideas, produced right here on the Mornington Peninsula:

Lavender birdies from Marnie Louanne....

Great for hanging in the wardrobe to keep away all those nasty bugs wanting to destroy that Merino cardigan! $12, they are filled with dried lavender straight from the lavender farm in Hamilton, Victoria.
A modern twist on a product long loved for its ability to protect those precious clothes!
Lavender sachets are also available for your drawers.....set of 3 squares for $12!
All will be available at Red Hill Market this Saturday 8am-1pm, or via the website www.marnielouanne.com.au
