My Life and Tea

Hello and happy new year! I don't think I have posted since 2014 so this is my first post of 2015! Anyway since its going to be February (still can't believe it) in a couple of days I thought I should post something while it's still January.  I was looking through my camera pictures and looking at the pictures I have taken through the month of January. And I picked out my favourites and the ones I am most proud of. This picture I took outside my great uncle Willie's house in Dornach I had to get my Dad to stop the car so I could take this picture, luckily the road was not busy at all! I love this picture so much, I took it outside my great uncle Willie's house in Dornach. I really love all the colours in this sunset and I love the silhouettes! This was taken up at my papa and grannys house it looks really sunny but I promise you it was freezing! I love this picture of the moon! It's just so beautiful. I think this was also taken in D...

Hello, I hope you had a fabulous Christmas! I found out the other day that the 12 days of Christmas is counting the days after Christmas, not the days before! Woops (I'll know for next year!) The last couple of days it has been so beautifully frosty. With the frost laying everywhere. I just had to take a few pictures of the frost because it was so pretty. These pictures were taken from my garden.

Seasons greetings all, It's Christmas eve! I had a very productive day. I prepped the veg for lunch tomorrow, Tidied the house, wrapped presents and I was very crafty. I made name holders out of candy canes. They are so cute. Here is how you make them. What you need.... candy canes, ribbon, pens, paper, loom bands, scissors Step 1. Tie 3 candy canes together with loom bands. One at the top and one at the bottom. Step 2. Cut a bit of ribbon and tie the candy canes together in a secure bow. Then take the loom band from the top off. Step 3. On a piece of card write someone's name. Step 4. Place the card between two of the candy canes, and voila!

Here you go these are the results 1. 2.

Seasons greetings, So sorry i forgot to post again yesterday! I don't think i'm very good at this blogging everyday thing. You will probably get 2 blog posts again today "woops"! Anyway today I decided to tell you a few easy wrapping ideas. This Christmas i decided to wrap all my presents in brown paper and tie some red and white twine stuff around it. Until I found out that I didn't have any twine and I also couldn't find any in any shops either so I had to make do with what i already owned. 1. So I started wrapping all my presents in brown paper. Then on some, I found some old ribbon and tied that around it. 2. I also got some stamps and stamped all around the brown paper. I also stuck loads of glittery snowflakes on it with glue. 3. Then..... I ran out of brown paper! I was so annoyed, my cute brown paper theme was not going to plan. then I had a really good idea. Newspaper! So I wrapped newspaper around the presents. It looked so much better than ...
