1 week till Christmas

I have said it before, times goes to fast. Can you believe that we are only ten days before Christmas?
I think it's time to hang your welcome wreath on the frontdoor.....I've found some lovely wreaths....

No tutorial needed for this wreath.

You don't want the same as your neighbours? Make this one.

This one is more 'christmas' style. 

These ones can decorate your door also after christmas.

This one is my favorite!

This was the last 'Weeks till Christmas'. Happy Crafting.

This week I am following the Mistletoe Make & Bake. It is a holiday blog-hop with a Baker's dozen of designer (quilters) projects and dozens of yummy cookie recipes.
Tomorrow is the last day of the blog-hop, so it's not too late to go there, there are also many giveaways come with Christmas  cookie recipes. Here you can read all about it.

 I suggest that you bake one whole sunday to fill jars with cookies and bars, such original handmade presents. The recipes are so delicious and very traditional, I love that.

There are more recipes on the 12 blogs that participate.

HAPPY COOKING.
