Poppy makes... a surprise present

Hej everyone,

On the crafting page you will find a new video tutorial on how to make a surprise present. It is a real Dutch tradition to make these for Sinterklaasavond (st. Nicholas day). It includes two FREE printables an Olaf (Frozen) and a Stuart (Minions). And just because it is a Dutch tradition doesn’t mean you can’t use this for like say Secret Santa.

Poppy Makes... a mandala colouring page

Today I have got a new mandala colouring page, free for you to download. All you have to do is click here. I haven't posted it on the colouring page yet but, if you just click on the link you will be able to download it. I will also post it later today on the colouring pages page. It is a Sinterklaas inspired colouring page because next Monday it will be Pakjesavond. Pakjesavond is every year on December 5th and is the day when we celebrate the birthday of Sinterklaas. Sinterklaas lives in Spain and visits Holland every year by boat. He always arrives a couple of weeks before Pakjesavond and children (also adults) are then allowed to put their shoe by the fireplace (or door or window or just any good spot) so when you sleep he brings a gift, kind of like hanging up your stocking. To receive a gift in your shoe you can sing a song, leave something yummy for Sinterklaas and/or his horse, make a pretty drawing etc. And then the next morning you are most likely to find a gift on your shoe mostly a small gift or some kind of sweets. Have fun! 

P.S. Also don't forget to checkout my latest video tutorial in which I show you how to make chocolate bark holiday style. And you can also follow me on
YouTube, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest so you will never miss a thing.

Poppy Makes... chocolate bark *holiday style*

I have made a new video tutorial in which I will show you how to make chocolate bark and because the holidays (like Sinterklaas, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas) are just around the corner I thought it would be nice to give the chocolate bark a holiday twist. It is so much fun to make and give as a present and also really yummy so what are you waiting for?! So even if you are not celebrating any Holiday this still is worth making. Please checkout the video tutorial on the baking page and have fun making your own chocolate bark holiday style.

*NOTE you don't really have to give it away you could just keep all the chocolate bark to yourself but hej it is the holiday season and Santa is also watching so share at least some
