MERRY CHRISTMAS


 Hello and welcome to my blog.  Well, it's counting down to Christmas and I still have a few gifts to buy.  Each year I say I'm going to be more organised as each year I fail.  This year I've made my own homemade crackers and personalised them as I'm sick of buying lovely crackers full of junk that get put into landfills.
 Here's my homemade crackers
There are 8 in total and a bit bigger than normal crackers, I do hope everyone likes them.
