So, with Christmas nearly upon us, here’s my small craft business version of the The Twelve Days of Christmas. Feel free to sing out loud with a mulled wine and mince pie to hand!
♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫
♪ ♫ In the run-up to Christmas, my business gave to me . . . ♪ ♫
12 bags of parcels . . .
bags of parcels
11 custom orders
10 brushes dripping
9 plaques a-painted
caravan plaques
8 frantic emails
7 glue-gun blisters (ouch)
6 hours a-packing
♪ ♫ five so-ore fingers ♪ ♫
4 hours in bed at night
3 rushed snacks a day
2 aching shoulders . . .
♪ ♫ . . . and a coffee that’s tu-urned stone cold (sigh…yet again).
What’s your run-up to Christmas been like? Worth singing about? Well, whatever the run-up to it’s been like, I wish you a very merry and happy Christmas. Enjoy!

I know what you mean about aching shoulders and cold coffee!!
It’s been a hectic couple of weeks but now it’s time to slow down a bit
It’s been really good having HM and I would just like to send you my thanks for organising it.
Best wishes for Christmas to you and your family and may 2012 bring you all good times.

Love the song – mine’s a cold cup of tea!
To echo Jan – thanks for all the HM you’ve hosted. Have a really good Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yay to slowing down a bit, Jan!!
I did use a little creative licence with the numbers, littlewren
but, yes, heck of a lot of orders have gone out.
Thanks for your comments, ladies x
We had a rush of last min orders so exceeded our closure day! All good fun. Now looking forward to the rest!
Merry Christmas and looking forward to 2012 parties!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and love your version of the 12 days
Thank you Lesley & Caroline. Hope your Christmases were fabulous x
