Peppermint Bark Gingerbread Men
These little Peppermint Bark Gingerbread Men are very cute and very tasty! I meant to make these last year and never got round to it but luckily my peppermint extract was still in date! You could make these either in shaped moulds such as Snowflakes, Christmas Trees or even just line a baking tray with…
Blogmas 2014
Buddy our Elf on the Shelf Happy 1st December! I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone by! I swear that the older you get the quicker time passes. Anyway on to a cheerier subject, I have decided to do Blogmas this year which means I am planning on blogging every day from the…
Christmas Decoration Organising
Now that Christmas and New Year are over, it is time to take down all the decorations and put them away until December rolls round again. I always find taking down the decorations a chore as it is a lot less fun than when you are putting them up! In the past I would just…
Christmas Wreath
For the last couple of years I have been meaning to make my own Christmas wreath, I have had all the things to make it but just never got round to making it. Today was the day that I finally made it! I was off today as had a really bad cold but I soon…

Aberdeen Cyrenian’s Shoebox Appeal
We all know that not everyone has someone to celebrate Christmas with nor have presents to open on Christmas Day as we see adverts and appeals asking for donations for various charities over the Festive period. I wanted to do something for a charity and had heard of Shoebox appeals for people abroad as well…
Snowman Christmas Table Centrepiece
Although we won’t be having Christmas Dinner at our house this year, I decided to make a Snowman Christmas table centrepiece for our kitchen table. It was so simple to make and inexpensive too. I already had the globe vase (was bought from Home Bargains two months ago for £2.95), so I bought a pack…
The Christmas Tag!
It’s only 29 days and 28 sleeps until the big day and I am already getting excited about it! Probably too excited for someone of my age but never mind :). There was a post on Lemonade Budget’s blog about a Christmas Tag so I decided to join in as well. It was originally started…
Traditional Christmas Cake
It’s only 36 sleeps until Christmas so I decided I had better get a move on and make my Christmas cake! It has become an annual tradition making one of these. Now I don’t like rich fruit cake such as Wedding cake or Christmas cakes but this is one booze traditional Christmas Cake that I…
