For those Mums who would like to make a different Advent journey this year please join in our Advent Calendar. Each day during Advent I will be posting a new activity you and your family can undertake to prepare for the Christmas season.
Craft activities that involve sewing will also feature a no-sew variation so that every one can participate!
