    What a lovely idea. Unfortunately, I can't join in as I have quite a bit of work to do, plus a trip to visit family during December.

    Such a nice idea, Hana! I am curious what you will be making. However, I have got quite a lot of christmas decoration and this year don't want to accumulate more. :)
