Angela will be very proud of Thrifty this week. She has two Top Tips and both are very thrifty indeed!
On the first of December have a Prince Charming or equivalent who will take you on a surprise excursion to your local converted-Mill-now-Council-HQ. Stand in the cold, dark air to sing carols, admire
Peter Corry, see That Man arrive in a vintage car with a sack of red hats for all, wander past all the sparkling trees through the (artificial) snow and wrap your hands round a cup of mulled wine. (Last bit not so thrifty, admittedly, but the rest was free!) Very magical!
Now this. This is superb! It comes from
...the sight of morning... The original idea is to give it as an Advent calendar, but Thrifty is going to adapt it as presents for Sunday School teachers, and theme it for the Twelve Days of Christmas. The little tags will be print-outs of the twelve gifts in the song, and she is going to pin on hot chocolate and cappuccino sachets as well as speciality tea-bags. She does need to purchase the sachets and mini-pegs, but remains muchly, muchly excited about the gorgeous simplicity and loveliness of an achievable project! If she has enough "ingredients" left over, Thrifty may even hang one up for herself, and sequester a few stolen moments every day to sit quietly and sip contentedly!

Blessings!

That's a GREAT idea! I even have mini-clothes pegs!
I love the 12 days of Christmas idea. Your trip out sounds like my kind of thing ( minus the mulled wine as I'm teetotal!)
Make it all hot chocolate and I'd happily take one off your hands. Or even make it myself. Wonder what I did with all those miniature pegs.
What a lovely idea!
Go for it!!Enoy your stolen moments.
(To be fair the original idea is from the lovely Ali of Domesticali who has more than her fair share of inspirational crafty ideas)
