What to buy?, where can I get one?, what can I afford?
The radio is running a campaign called “Don’t cancel Christmas” giving tips and ideas on how to have a happy one in the economic downturn. Lots of people worried that they can’t afford to buy their children exactly what they want and how to break the news to them. Having watched my niece at Christmas and Birthdays past it brought to mind the old idea that it’s the simple things that bring lasting pleasure. As much fun is had pretending to be in a kitchen/cafe/castle as playing with expensive bought versions. Paper, pencils, felt tip pens, paints, glitter and glue plus the magical time together are the biggest winners. A developed and nurtured imagination is the gift that keeps on giving! Oh the thrill of a big cardboard box!

Love this! Dazzling! Hurray for cardboard boxes!
Your illustrations are so beautiful! This is so cute.
this is a lovely illustration. perfect for this time of year when half of the time children end up playing with the packaging instead of the actual thing that was inside it. dx.
