New Year!

Hey guys, 

So it is New Years Eve and at 12 it will turn 2017! It is unbelievable how quick this year has gone it literally only feels like I was starting school yesterday. I don't think I remember most of what happened this year but I know I have had some good times and most probably some bad times like most people do in a year. 

I hope you have all enjoyed 2016 and that you have had memorable moments. I would have to say I have liked this year but then there have been moments where I just wished everything/everyone would go away. But I am not here to be a 'Debbie Downer', I'm here to say that 2017 is coming and that I hope that everyone has a amazing New Year with their family, friends, pets etc. Make sure to think about the positives of life and don't worry about anything that you shouldn't be stressing about or isn't worth stressing about. Let your hair down and enjoy your time!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Christmas!!

 

Hey guys,

Christmas has come and pasted and I have never been so sad in my life. I was so excited for Christmas and now I am sad that it is over. I am so grateful for everything I had and I hope one day and I can give amazing presents back to my family. (Sorry some of these photos are bad, I took them on Christmas Day and didn't focus on what I was doing enough)

I also had more makeup brushes but I forgot to take photos of them and I had a black turtle neck, black jacket, black block heel boots and black jeans but the photos didn't show them as black because of the background but I love them so much. 

I went up my grandparents as I always do on boxing day to have dinner and just be around family. I wore my black turtle neck, blue jeans and my black boots. I adored this outfit so much and I felt confident in it which truth be told does not happen much. I was meant to take a picture but I totally forgot to. Ops (I'll have to take one one day and post it somewhere, haha)

I had 6 surprised things off my parent as usually we get given the amount of money we are allowed and we get what we want. They were the bag with the key ring, travel mug and the pencils, Finding Dory, selection box, the mug that had 'meow' on it, the cat socks and Terry's Chocolate Orange. I was so surprised when I had all of these and I was so close to crying all the time. I am lucky to have presents of my siblings as well as my parents. I am sooo grateful for absolutely EVERYTHING that I got and I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas if you celebrate it but if you don't I hope you enjoyed it and didn't get annoyed by everyone posting about their Christmas including me.

One more sleep till Christmas

Hey guys,

Yes I did sing the song from the muppets when I wrote this title down. When I am writing the I am also watching the muppets Christmas carol. I have felt so helpful tonight, even though I have only helped a neighbour take boxes of chocolates around to people this evening, I felt as if I made this day happy by having a chat with him.

I said to my father earlier about you friends having new pyjamas for Christmas and he said that if he knew which present was my pyjamas then he would let me wear them. When I came home from helping my neighbour not long after my parents came back from picking up a few bits and bobs from Tescos, they said that they had presents for us to open TONIGHT and they were new pyjamas so me and my sisters have new pyjamas.

I feel like me and my father have started a new tradition with making anything gingerbread as we have done it two years in a row and I hope the pyjamas will be one as well now. Do any of you have any traditions that you do with your family?

Christmas Gingerbread House

Hey guys,

Today me and my Father (and with some parts my mother joined in) decided to make a gingerbread house because last year we made gingerbread men. Me and my Father are the only ones who like gingerbread. It was really fun making this today, I think it is because I was around my parents and whenever we have a good time it is really nice to see everyone smiling and having fun. 

Billy (the cat) kept wanting to come up to see what was going on. He would pop his head up at the beginning and I'd get him down before he could jump up onto the table. He ended up going on his scratching post and also the window sill. 

When it came to finishing the gingerbread house the gummy sweets started sliding down but we saved them and put them back where they were. Doing the icing was quite easy except when it came to touching the icing together as then it would go weird and mess it up. We cleaned it up a bit and then left it as we didn't want it to go any worse. 

My favourite part was probably doing the front of the house. Even though some of it kind of looks like a mess. Where it went right it looks alright. At the end when everything was finished I ate some of the icing that was left and I felt so sick after it as I had way too much sugar in like 5 minutes. If any of you made anything send me a picture or comment how it went down below.

Christmas Spirit.... Kind of

                                                                     Hey guys,

I am so excited for Christmas it isn't literally unbelievable but I am also so sad for it to end because, I get so excited for this time of year in like August/September and the month always goes by so fast and I always feel like I get nothing done in time (even though I hardly have anything to do). But I always say at the beginning of months what I am going to do and how long I have for them and some months I will complete them but then when it comes to December I literally only complete homework that I may have to do but that's about it (obviously Christmas shopping as well). 

I have always dreamed of what my house would be like when I'm older. I would always put the lights in the rooms and I would have this big tree with like white glass ornaments, with warm lights on it which I would probably put on twinkle mode as they are so magical. I love the garlands on the fireplace with the lights amounts them and candles at the ends of the fireplace. 

Anyway, I have always loved this time of year and I always love the Christmas decorations that are in streets and when you drive past houses and see the decorations that they have used. It always makes me feel more Christmassy and cosy even when it is freezing outside. I adore the strolls that me and my family would have just going around the shops. 

I appreciate it when I get to go shopping for what I want for Christmas. But it can get a bit stressful when you can find something that you wanted for likes but I always find a way around it as I just find another thing to get which is like it or that I would love to get for Christmas. I am lucky that I get what I have as others either don't get anything or barely anything. I wish that Christmas spirit was still as powerful as it used to be.

Christmas Films!

Hey guys,

I was thinking of some Christmas blog posts I could upload and then I thought, I haven't stopped watching Christmas films so I could just talk about my favourites. I have always loved Christmas films and I don't know how some people don't. They are so festive and great to put on in the background and thy can make you so Christmassy.

I can't remember not watching at leas a hand full of Christmas films each year. Me and my oldest sister always just to watch 'Twas The Night Before Christmas' on Christmas Eve before they stopped playing it. We would always go downstairs and have a blanket and watch it and it would always excite me so much because it reminded me that Christmas Day was the next day and I would always struggle to sleep but I would try to sleep so hard because then the night would go by fast and I would wake up at like 6:30 - 7:00 AM.

Anyway, there is quite a few Christmas films that I love to watch and I have basically watched since I can remember. I will always remember the excitement I had when realising that I could start watching Christmas films, it was like I was given the best present in the world.

A few of the Christmas films I love to watch are:

1. The Grinch - Ron Howard
2. Elf - Jon Favreau 
3. Nativity! - Debbie Isitt
4. Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger - Debbie Isitt
5. Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey? - Debbie Isitt
6. Arthur Christmas - Sarah Smith and Barry Cook
7. Santa Clause - John Pasquin 
8. The Santa Clause 2 - Michael Lembeck
9. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause - Michael Lembeck
10. The Muppet's Christmas Carol - Brian Henson 
11. Home Alone - Chris Columbus 
12. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York - Chris Columbus
13.  Jack Frost - Troy Miller 

I know there is quite a few there but I did try and bring the list down. If you have watched any of these films below or have any recommended comment them below and your thoughts of them.

Hope you liked this update and if you have any ideas that you want me to do just put them below

Decorating for Christmas

 

Hey Guys,

today was the day we decorated the house. We decided to go for a frosted blue kinda theme and I am in love with it. There was a mix of different bobbles from bears to snowflakes and icicles, there were even acorns. My favourite bobble is the acorn one because it is so different yet so cute.

There are loads of photos but I did cut them down from the amount I actually have. I am literally so in love with this years Christmas decorations and I think I feel a little more Christmassy which I didn't think would be possible because I love Christmas so much, it's probably because I'm so excited for all of my Christmas presents (which I will be doing a blog post about). 

It took us like 3 hours to do everything because we had to put the bobbles on the string and they were so fiddly. I especially adore it when it is dark and the lights are shinning all around your house it's just amazing (I'm having trouble putting them on the blog post at the minute so I will try and get them up asap.
