Gulp. I read somewhere today that it’s TEN weeks til Christmas. This freaks me out no end. Luckily, I am a bit of a hoarder. I’ve hoarded ONE HUNDRED ideas for handmade Christmas gifts. I’ve been saving them for a suitable day. The kind of day when you won’t throw a book at me when I say the word ‘Christmas’.
*Ducks*
