[AD] Fa la la la laaah! We've made it! It's finally December 1st and things are about to get fully festive up in here! I say that as if it's a new thing, but truth be told, I've been rolling festive content out for a few weeks now. Perks of being a blogger right? Christmas always comes early! My December is starting the same way as all months, and that's by celebrating five fantastic bloggers who are all creating wonderful (and wonderfully festive) content! Let's dive straight in and welcome my December advertisers.

Loren is a crafty blogger writing about all things sewing, baking and DIY. Her blog originated after a relocation from one side of America to the other. I googled it, it's 40+ hours!

She inspires others to live a more colourful and creative life, something which I'm all about.
