BLOGMAS Day 24- Happy Christmas Eve!

I have been defeated, I have failed BLOGMAS:-( I would like to aplogise to my readers for disappearing this last week, it's just been such a hectic time! Work has been so demanding (I work behind a bar) and at this time of year you can't expect pubs to not be busy, so I've been working extra hours which has completely worn me out. Also I've been knocked down with cold AGAIN, but other personal problems have been popping up to the stage I've had no time whatsoever to relax and do the thing I enjoy - write on my blog for you all. But anyway I've managed to get a few spare minutes to write a post for all you lovelies. 

The big day is tomorrow and I am so excited, presents, family, food, films the job lot! I've spent my day wrapping presents, setting the dinner table, cutting up all the vegetables ready for our Christmas roast, visited the cemetery, delivered a few last minute cards and put out some mince pies and carrots ready for Santa and Rudolph. I've just sat down after being super busy, but will soon be off to bed as I know my niece and nephew will be up super early as they're just so excited to open their presents. Oh the perks of living next door to my sister... I love it really! The only downside to Christmas arriving is that my advent calendar ends tomorrow, I'm going to miss having a cheeky chocolate every morning with breakfast. But hey ho, I'm just glad I'm not Santa having to work all night, travelling. I'm just babbling aren't I? See I told you I'm excited for Christmas. Anyway I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and that you get everything you wanted and more, you all deserve it! Tomorrow's post I will be showing you what I got for Christmas 2015! Night night all.

BLOGMAS Day 14- The Elf On The Shelf

Christmas traditions are what makes this time of year so special. Each and every household has their own way of celebrating the holidays, whether it be putting the tree up 12 days before christmas, baking a gingerbread house, drinking eggnog round the fire or simply leaving out mince pies and carrots for santa on xmas eve. But i've noticed a new tradition that's becoming quite popular here in the UK, it's known as "the elf on the shelf". If you haven't heard of this its where an elf is sent from the North Pole to keep an eye on the kiddies to then report back to Santa every night. As the elf returns he/she will move to a different spot in the house to make the children believe they are real. Of course this elf is just a teddy and the parents are the puppeteers. But what's so great about all of this is that the parents are adding a little creativity to this by making the elf get up to all different kinds of antics everynight, some say its getting out of hand now but others (including me) think it's a great idea to bring a bit of magic and belief for the young ones. Theres this page on facebook called "Elf Adventures" and its such good fun looking through all the photos that parents have sent in, i've had a good giggle at them all and i wanted to share the laughs with all of you too. I'm adding my favourite photos but i will leave the link at the end of the post to the facebook page so you can go have a look yourself. Enjoy!

This is my niece and nephews friend Elfie Jingles, he came through the secret door from the North Pole with Santas key. So magical seeing their little faces light up!

Its not as fun at christmas when you're older, it becomes more stressful than anything by trying to get everything organised for the day, so by doing things like this it brings a bit of joy for the parents. Whats your favourite christmas traditions?

BLOGMAS Day 9- Exciting Announcement!

So last year me and my sister started an exciting business venture... making and selling hair bows. We mainly made kiddies character hair bobbles, slides and headbands out of ribbon and then i went onto design some bows for older girls/adults out of fabric. We advertised through our facebook page (Rarebows Hairbows) and attended local fayres where we set up a stalls. Surprisingly we made a lot of sales and its really funny because when i take my niece to school or even just walk to my local shop i see lots of little girls running around with our bobbles in! Proud moment! However when my sister found out she was pregnant she decided to have a break as, well she had a lot of organising to do for her new arrival. Now that shes had her baby and she is getting settled in we have decided to get back into business and make some new designs. Ive made up an Etsy shop where we have a few designs for sale BUT we will be adding loads more accessories very soon! Were also advertising on facebook too so please do go check those out! Im very excited to get this business back up and running and hopefully make it grow 10x bigger and better than what it was before. I love designing and making products as its so therapeutic. Anyway il stop babbling on now and let the bows speak for themselves! (Photos below)

P.S its only 15 days until christmas eve eeeeek!!!
