Inspiration + Happy Weekend

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and today being the first is exciting as we are putting up our tree!

Do you have fond childhood memories of putting up your tree at home? I remember unwrapping the ornaments we had made at school and fighting over whose turn it was to put the angel on the top (we had four siblings so we had a roster for the angel – I kid you not!).

Even if you are a Christmas grinch, you have to at least agree that it’s nice to have some time to reflect on the year that was and enjoy some moments with loved family and friends. And the Christmas food…yes, please!

In the spirit of this being the first day of advent, here are some lovely Christmas themed links (and a few non-Christmas ones at the end too for those that don’t celebrate this time of year!):

I love a stylish advent calendar

Such a great idea for infographic holiday cards

This is seriously amazing (this website does my head in with its amazingness)

Making your own stamps this Christmas? Get your stamps made here

Make your holiday snaps pretty with this app (I’m addicted – watch out for a blog post next week!)

Find Momo for hours of holiday fun (I want to pat him so bad)

Gorgeous holiday decor idea

This would make such a great Christmas gift (hint! hint!)

I’ve also put my order in for this!

This is your weekend DIY

Great resource for illustrated Christmas cards

50 best fonts for designers (or anyone who loves fonts!)

So what I’m saying is this is a healthy treat ‘cos it has bananas in it (right?)

And lastly, the most amazing paper cut I’ve ever seen!

Did you happen to catch our cute “Advent in a Jar” this week? We have loads of DIYs coming up on the blog in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back!

Have a wonderful first weekend of December.
