Hi there....How would you like to have your kitchen counter top on a Thanksgiving/ Christmas morning when the house is filled with friends or with family members? Created a scene with fruits to get inspired for a slow morning. Arranging pile of cut fruits on a board or in a bowl looks colourful and the aroma of fruity flavour fills the air too along with the scent of holiday season.
Hi...Bringing a festive look is magical at this time and using Christmas designs for wrapping gift is fabulous. In today's budget friendly Christmas segment, turned plain Brown paper bags into gift wrapping with paper doilies, dried leaves and fresh leaves. You can buy paper bags or if you have surplus Brown paper bags at home you transform them to pretty bags for gifts.
I created these paper bag designs with paper doilies and leaves. Simple and easy to make for the gifts as it can be a brightening up small accessory with eye catching patterns to your loved ones. These bags can be used for chocolates, biscuits and cookies or for light weight gifts.
More budget friendly ideas are on the way so be tuned in at CG:)))
Hi & Hello....As Thanks giving and Christmas celebrations are on the cards it's little tough to decide about gift giving. Shop bought gifts are always routine and some time expensive as well. Sharing in today's post about budget friendly ideas you can think of like scented wax tablets , and candles made at home all by yourself.
Unused bottles in the kitchen cabinet and tiny bottles are perfect fit to make candles using old candles. I had collected old tiny jam bottles and it became handy to make candles. Melted the old candles filled them in the bottles with wicks adding the fragrance oil like lavender and rose. Decorated the bottles with pretty ribbons and they looked so pretty.Candle making is always fun and a perfect gift for any season or festivities and everyone loves the gift.
Like candles, wax tablets another best gift for gifting. It is made with wax liquid poured in silicon moulds. Decorate them with spices like cloves, star anise, cinnamon , dry orange ridge or dried flowers. Handcrafted wax tablets infused with delightful floral essence of vanilla, lavender or mint, sure to scent the spaces like wardrobes, bathrooms, drawers, car and shoe racks.. Indulge in making these aromatic wonders which is easy and simple. Wrap them up as you desire like in butter paper ,small pouches or in boxes. It's a fun project for the festive season.
Hope you like my gifting ideas for the season. This my first try with wax tablets and i enjoyed making them. You too will enjoy in making them and in gifting. This holiday season at CG, I will be sharing budget friendly /cost conscious project ideas one can enjoy. So be tuned in for the coming weeks.

Hi and Hello to all out there... It's November another month in the calendar and for me at CG another year in blog-sphere. 14 long years with 400+ posts in blog land. What an incredible journey. Never thought it will go this far. My interest and passion for the things i love, made me to stroll thru smoothly all along. I am happy to be here as long as i can.When I joined the blog land, there were so many enthusiast bloggers, sharing their beautiful posts and it was like a one big family, now the scenario changed as many stopped blogging for various reasons or switched over to other platforms. But few are still there in the block to give company to me 😀. And i am happy.
Blogging gave me lot of satisfaction in what i did. Many appreciated my work on styling on my photography and on my write ups. I thank everyone for their support, encouragement and for their beautiful comments. And i thank the 'Almighty' for giving me the opportunity/ strength to continue in this very spot. My special thanks to blogs like 'Our hopeful Home', 'French Ethereal', 'Slabs' and 'Karins Cottage' to feature my posts in their weekly picks. Truly a honour for me. And I thank my family for standing by me in this wonderful journey of blogging.
Many knows blogging is not just an easy ordinary job. So much of work involved while posting a post in creative thinking, bringing the things together, taking the photos to the perfection, content writing and finally uploading it. And everything done all by yourself. To some extent it's kind of a stressful job but at the end when it is published you feel the happiness/satisfaction with in yourself. Also had the opportunity to present my collection of c rockeries , table linens, cutlery's, napkins, our trace garden, our Bonsai collection (my husband's creation) sometimes my recipes, my water colour paintings, tutorial on craft work and our travel all under blogging. When i visited my old blog posts i did wonder did i do all that😉 .Yes it was all my work 😀. I have't commercialised my blog though many a time people asked me to go for it. Sometimes it made me to think should i or should not. I could't get an answer. 😑 May be in future i might come out with a book on my styling/decors and on my knowledge what i gathered through blogging.
As the 'Thanks giving day' approaching fast I set an fruit inspired table for the blog post.
