These are not too practical but look fab!!!



just the body box would look great!

My favourite site for inspiration a long time has been Mr McGroovy's 

where people post their fantastic cardboard box creations.

This carraige and castle would be a fantastic addition to my Princess party here.

There are some very, very talented people out there.

If you have some pics of cardboard box creations send them to me and I will add them.

YEAH SNOW DAY / FAMILY FUN IN THE SNOW!!!

WHEY HEY first snow on the season!!!

We went out bright and early as din't think it would last long as the sun is out.

So we had the hill to ourselves at first....

 Liam is that little dot two thirds the way up the hill.
I don't know what the circles are on the hillside, they can't be seen normally???

We have some great hills in our village, great for sledging and kite flying, we are so lucky.

There wasn't enough snow for our snow rider but Liam loves the frying pan (it looks like one)

because he spins round on it going down the hill and it seems to go faster than any of the sleds.

 Then back home for a snowball fight.

Have fun in the  snow with you family!!!

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

Today is UK kindness day, so do something nice for someone.
Kindness Day


Kindness is Catching

Being kind to others not only feels good and benefits other people, but it tends to spread as those who receive an act of kindness often pay it forward.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The idea behind Random Acts of Kindness Day is to
do something nice for someone for no reason,
similar to a pay it forward mentality.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here are some idea's (but the little things count too!)

Do yard work or housework for an elderly neighbour

Leave a gift/flowers on the doorstep of a lonely friend

Spend time talking with or playing cards with a lonely friend or neighbour

 Call an elderly relative and chat about their day.

Treat a co-worker at coffee break.

Put a love note in your family's lunch, briefcase, or book bag.

Tape a note and some change to a vending machine for someone who's short of change.

Feed a parking meter that has expired.

Pack an extra lunch and give it to a homeless person.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

You get the idea anything goes.

Attach a note saying

Please AccEPT
 This Random Act
Of Kindness

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving or Turkey Day celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November in the US.

Sadly not in the UK, It's just a normal working day.

Although we do have our own Thanksgiving tradition, as I lived in New Jersey for three fabulous years, and it rubbed off on me.

Not the whole big family turkey dinner like in the US 

but I get Liam to write down in some way what he is thankful for, and I do the same.

One year in was on white A4 card used as placemats, 

another we made a a card leaf wreath and wrote on the leaves.

The first year we just said one thing we were thankful for.

It's only alittle thing but it does help realise what we do have and to be greatful for itwhich I think is a good thing in these times

Have fun with your family!!!
