John Lewis Excitement

I don't think I will ever loose just how excited I get when I see our craft kits on the shelf at John Lewis.  We used to pop up to the Oxford Street store from time to time to see them but now we are in Dorset it's a very long way to go BUT I can still see them online and look at this ::
 if you click onto John Lewis's website and find the Sewing & knitting page (it's here) you'll see our Christmas Tree Garland as the lead picture of the 'Make Your Own Christmas Decorations' department ****eeeekkkkk*****
 and when you click through you'll see our NEWEST kit - Make Your Own Angel Tree Topper
YAY!!!! (here's the link)
she's a £10 kit and once you've made her she'll be happy to sit on your Christmas tree year after year :-)

GIVEAWAY TIME!!

After all that excitement I think it's time for a new kit give away!

  3. So exciting, I don't blame you for still getting excited! And I just love the Angel, would be amazing to win as I actually don't have a Christmas tree topper. I just haven't ever found something I like, but this little Angel would be perfect :)
