Tis the Season to be Jolly!
Saturday, December 05, 2015
Christmas is around the corner and with all the festivities going around, it does feel Christmassy already! I thought I would be really homesick because usually at this time of the year I'd be busy with house-to-house carolling with Miri Young Catholic Students, Young Apostles and Christteens, and lots of family gatherings. But I guess staying with a relative when you're away from home DOES make a huge difference.
Anyways, there are 20 more sleeps till Christmas and let me show you some of the Christmas activities I've done so far!
 |
| Setting up the Christmas tree! Whilst doing this I felt so homesick because I'd usually set up the tree back at home :\ |
 |
| Baked some Christmas butter cookies, recipe here. Beautiful letterpressed Christmas gift tag from www.bespokepress.com.au. Got the tag from Finders Keepers last November! |
 |
| Visited the 92-year-old heritage-listed Brisbane Arcade, Brisbane's oldest shopping arcade. Love the vintage feel! |
 |
| It's Super Saturday in Westfield Australia-wide! Went to Westfield Carindale and grab some gifts for cousin Susan, niece Maybelle and myself. Haven't gotten any idea of what to get for my cousin-in-law Dat yet. |
 |
| Got myself Adam Liaw's Asian Cookery School autographed version from Dymocks! |
 |
| Westfield Carindale offers gift wrapping services every Saturday starting today! I love my personalised calligraphy gift tag by the talented Justine Moore! And it was also my first time seeing artists calligraph with my own eyes. |
 |
| I got another tag for Susan as well. Wrapped her gift when I got home. Wrapping paper from kikki.K. |
 |
| For Maybelle, my 5-y/o niece. She's such a sweet and cheeky girl. Wrapping paper, label sticker and 'no peeking' tag from kikki.K. |
More baking and cooking to try for the coming weeks! I'll keep you guys updated soon. Till then!
