It’s that time of year again when we find ourselves climbing into the loft to locate those brightly coloured and shiny decorations for Christmas.
And as with any other year it’s a time to be vigilant as always when it comes to safety. So below you’ll see some top tips for staying safe and enjoy the spirit of Christmas.
It’s that time of year again where everyone slowly starts getting in to the Christmas holiday mood as you pull out the decorations from the loft, check if the lights are still working and go on the hunt for the perfect tree.
My 4 year old daughter Addison started school in September and since then has been pretty much not stop crafting. So this year with trying to manage the purse strings as always I thought why not try to make some decorations from scratch and get her involved too.
We were kindly approached by Go Cable Ties to take part in their DIY Christmas challenge where we were supplied with some basic materials to re-create a festive Christmas Light. Perfect I thought costing next to nothing and get the family involved too.
We opted for the star as the wife is a little obsessed with them plus I had my own little star helper following in my footsteps to help out. Below is a few shots taken during production, and a little time-lapse for fun.
I was sent items FOC from Go Cable Ties, all opinions are my own.
So being married to a woman from a woman with dual citizenship of UK/USA and knowing how big a holiday it is in the states, you’d think that pumpkin carving and everything associated with it would be a given around this time of year.
Actually no, we’ve never really celebrated Halloween let alone contemplated such an undertaking of carving pumpkins. Addison wanted to do one so I said do one we will, without a clue. So I watched a few YouTube tutorials and afterwards thought to myself I can do this, in the mean time my sister in-law had decided to have a carving party and make a big deal of it.
So below are some pictures taken before during and after the aforementioned event, all in all I think the adults enjoyed it more than the kids.
I think they all came out wonderful, see if you can guess some of the famous characters? Happy holidays/Halloween
