Dakota Crafts

🎄✨ Christmas in July is coming to Dakota Crafts! ✨🎄

Yes... I know it's only July! 😂

But let's be honest... Christmas has a habit of creeping up on us! Before we know it, we'll all be wondering where the year has gone.

That's why next week I'm celebrating Christmas in July, where I'll be showcasing some of my favourite festive products all week long. 🎅🎁

🎄 Early Bird Christmas Offer 🎄

Want to get organised early without paying for everything at once?

You can secure your Christmas order with a deposit, with the remaining balance due later in the year.

✨ Here's how it works:

🎁 A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your order (unless the order is cancelled by me).
🎁 Your deposit reserves your items, so you can spread the cost over the coming months.
🎁 The remaining balance must be paid in full by 1st November.
🎁 Once your order has been paid in full, I'll begin creating and personalising your items ready for Christmas.

It's the perfect way to spread the cost, secure your personalised gifts early and avoid the Christmas rush!

Keep an eye on the page next week as I kick off Christmas in July and showcase some of my favourite festive products. 🎄❤️

Who's ready to get a head start on Christmas shopping? 🎅✨

🚨 🚨 VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION 🚨🚨

Everything else can wait...

What goes on first... cream or jam? ☕🍓

We're about to find out who our followers really are... 😅

Happy Monday! ☺️

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Ours was full of parties, football, food, booze 🥃 and great company... so naturally I now need another weekend to recover. 🤣

It's refreshingly cooler this morning and a little windy 🌬️ I've actually got a hoodie on for the first time in weeks! I wasn't emotionally prepared to see my own arms again. 😅

I can't believe it's the last week of school and Dakota's last week in infants. 😭 Where has the time gone?! I'm sure she only started yesterday... and now she's practically running the household and negotiating like she's got a law degree. 😂

I'm really looking forward to the summer holidays and some much-needed time off making memories together. ❤️
..Although, ask me again in three weeks when I've heard "Muuuuum!" approximately 47,000 times and I've somehow become the official snack dispenser, entertainment committee and professional finder of things that are "literally gone"... but are actually right in front of her. 🤪🤣

What are you all up to today? 💕
