Gift Idea for Children–Place Setting

I had to find something for our Grandson Jack as his place setting and it had to be fun and something that he could relate to.

I found this Gift Bag template and thought “ that should do it very nicely thank you”.

I know I only needed one for Jack but as his Mam runs an area for slimming would and has gifts to give to team leaders the rest will come in very handy for her.

Super fun and easy to make on the Silhouette Portrait and I found the template on the silhouette site, it was one of Lori Whitlock’s templates.

Filled with a few treats and a mini transformer car for when Jack has finished his dinner makes it perfect to get him to tuck into his dinner just to get the prize and the end of it.

Natures Beauty

We had to pop into Durham yesterday and decided to come home the back roads, we often do this road purely as it is scenic, I often wish we had stopped to take pictures but for anyone in the knowing of the Finchale Abby road they will also know that it isn’t for the faint hearted, often barely wide enough for one vehicle let alone having to be side by side with another coming in the opposite direction.

Yesterday was no different, there is a layby to pull in but it was full of cars, mostly ramblers and walkers so I had to make do with my phone camera through the windscreen but….. I think it shows some of Natures Beauty before the leaves are no more.

I think Autumn is such a beautiful season don't you?

More Christmas Place Settings

So I needed another three place settings, I figured that these would be my next two.

Christmas Chapel Boxes from SVG Cuts  I wanted these to be dainty and pretty and I think that I have achieved that.

Pearls are from Mei Flower I think they have the best value for money in pearls and gems.

All of the trim came from my local haberdashery and the papers came from Stampin Up.

Now I need to find something fun for Jack as all of the adults are now sorted.

Christmas Place Settings

Each year I try to add something a little different to the Christmas Dinner Table, something with a bit of interest,

This year will be the same and I thought making some of these and adding a little gift inside the bottom box would do the trick. I need 6 place settings this year to these are the first three and I will make a different top to the box for the next three.

I used a template set from SVG cuts to make the boxes.

Now I’m a great lover of Gingham Ribbon and this from Mei Flower is simply gorgeous and better still it is half price at the moment so go and fill your boots,

I though you might need a closer view of one of the boxes.
