Every year I pledge to make my own Christmas Crackers. Every year I give in and buy them.
It is so much effort to collate all the components (hats, snaps, jokes and the added pressure I put on myself to insert personalised gifts for each individual).
But this year, I am going to make the effort. When I saw this circular image I thought it was was perfect for decorating my first one. I'm hoping to make more over the next few weeks so I have enough in time for Christmas.
Well, that's the plan anyway.
Either that, or we'll all have to fight over who gets this one!

Cracker Recipe:
- Image - Gingerbabies Hula Hoops from Stamp Fairy
- Colouring - Promarkers, Copics
- Papers - My Minds Eye
- Cricut - Tags Bags Boxes and More 2 cartridge (it's the only one I have!)
