        Thank you so much Christie - I was a bit concerned I was being a bit cheeky there ;-) Here's the link: http://leafjournals.bigcartel.com/product/dirtgirlworld-scrapbook-garden-journal-pack This takes you to our special bundle offer for Christmas. It contains the scrapbook and garden journal expansion pack for $45 (normally $57.90 if purchased separately).

    Beautiful list. I would add something we are actually giving our girls this year (will need a big stocking though) - a hammer, nails and small blocks of wood. All real stuff. Can't wait to see what they make with them. My girls are 9 and 6.
