I have photographic evidence of my level of carried away-ness:

Giving things to people is fun!

The almost-2 dimensional gold painted “tree” is a gift from a former carer of mine. It was originally snapped up from a florist at an after Christmas sale for only a few dollars and it’s hugely handy for somebody like me with not much space! The “decorations” are pieces of translucent ribbon and keyrings decorations I’ve made which are gifts for people. Here are some of the keyrings:

The other main home-made thing I’m giving people for Christmas is “Emotional Emergency Biscuit Bottles”. They have all the ingredients for yummy chocolate chip bikkies except the liquids, including the addition of egg replacement powder and vanilla, so the recipe is pretty much “add melted butter and water, roll into balls, bake”. I’ve written out the instructions in excruciating detail and with no confusing recipe-speak for the cooking impaired of my friends and labelled the jars carefully:

The labels read 'Open In Case Of Emotional Emergency'

I love giving people things. I love making friends smile! I am so lucky to be able to participate like this this year
