We are aiming to complete at least one Christmas or Advent craft each week.
Now, I know one does not sound like much but the weather here has been HOT and we have been swimming and indoor ice skating ( both of which are a great way to stay cool in summer!).
We have the end of year drama presentations and rehearsals for carols at church - J and A are playing and singing in the youth band for the carols.
We have end of year teen group and time to catch up with friends ...Mmm...A minimum of one craft a week fits nicely.
This week we made miniature gingerbread houses. The original recipe called for graham crackers - what are they??? We substituted milk coffee biscuits.
We had trouble with the icing and decorations, as it was a hot, thirty five degree Celsius day.
Finally, everything "gelled". And we were proud of our creations.
Here are the instructions, in case you are interested -

What are graham crackers?? Leonie, I love to read about the differences between the U.S. and Australia ... oh, the little things we take for granted!
