12 days of a camera christmas - day 9

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

nine expectantly waiting presents

eight tasty varieties of tea

seven classic reads

six sewn up items

five fixings for a gingerbread house

four little animal cuties

three delightful prints

two thrifted tops for a darling boy

and a lovely big pregnant belly

Evie & I have spent some lovely afternoons this week wrapping Christmas presents. She's gone crazy with her textas, stamps & glue to create some unique wrapping paper. I let her choose the ribbons from my collection (I save them from every present!) and I help with the finishing touches. I've loved spending this creative time with her.

I also love presents! I love giving & receiving. I would love to be the person that finds or makes the perfect give for each loved one, but I'm afraid that lack of motivation & laziness gets in the way! I read a cool quote somewhere on a blog the other day about needing less inspiration & more creation. It's so true, I'm constantly inspired by other blogs & Pinterest, but I really need to sit down & bring all these ideas into reality!
