Dr WHO BIRTHDAY PARTY

With the Christmas episode of Dr who coming soon,

my mind started reeling about ideas for a Dr who themed party.

A VIDEO MESSAGE FROM SANTA IN LAPLAND / PORTABLE NORTH POLE & SANTA TRACKING FROM NORAD

Oh this is WONDERFUL!!!

Check out

THE PORTABLE NORTH POLE 

and watch your children's faces light up as Santa speaks to them directly through a video email.

He'll use their names, have photo's of them in his naughty or nice book even tell them the gift they really want for Christmas.

This is so much more special than a letter from Santa.

This is the magic Christmas is made from and free!!!

This is free but you can also buy the video download, but I just record Liam watching the video email from Santa on the camcorder as I get his beaming face on record too.

But beware they video disappears when they close the website down in the new year!!!


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

Also wanted to say don't forget to track Santa on Christmas Eve too


here on Norad


and get them all excited before bed!!! LOL

The website is up and running from December 1st
with all sorts of games and activities
but to see Santa all over the world this is only on Christmas Eve!

Have magical Christmas fun with your family!!!

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!!!

CHRISTMAS SWEETIE / TREAT BAGS - THIS WEEKS OBSESSION

I have been making all sorts of little Christmas sweetie bags,

that cost very little other than time, for the little people.

Also great for putting in Christmas stockings.

 Chocolates from Aldi stickers from Hobby craft I think.

RUDOLPH'S SPARES

These were the strawberry fruit pastels which I thought looked like noses.

I wrote the Rudolph's Spares poem on the back (see below)

but it was rather rushed, so messy I will print the rest off



Rudolph has a job to do

Every Christmas Eve, it's true.

His nose will always light the way

For Santa and his tiny sleigh,

But if his nose should ever go out

Don't you cry, whine, yell or pout.

Take out this bag and use a bit.

From "Rudolph's Red Nose Repair Kit"

PENGUIN POOP!

Chocolate raisins LOL

Liam's keeps saying why would I give my friends poop? 

and add alittle poem on the back (see below)



I caught a little penguin

With a rope tied in a loop-
It must have really scared him
'Cause he made this
penguin poop


AND THERE'S STILL LOTS MORE TOO COME!!!

And for the big kids.....

made from the mini Christmas chocolate bars from Tesco 80p for four.

 I removes the wrappers and used them for a template to cut the new wrappers

drew on them with gel pens

and added snowflake confetti from B & M

These have Elizabeth Shaw mints stuck to the back of the punched circles

with the snowflake confetti again

Put into pretzel bags

They kept sliding on top of each other so I had to stick them to a strip of card.
Next time I will use a smaller scalloped  and circle punch.

Also nice little prezzie for the postie.


Card, punches and pens from CRAFTY URCHINS

CHRISTMAS SWEETIE / TREAT BAGS SNOWMAN SOUP

SNOWMAN SOUP

I love the idea of snowman soup hug in a mug special treats.
So here my take on them.

I make these up ready for a snow day we have people round
as we have some great sledging hills behind the house.
Also had them out to friends kids and some friends who work outside (God love them)

Sachet of hot chocolate

Mini marshmallows

Chocolate lollipop / candy cane for stirring

and a chocolate.

SNOWMAN SOUP POEM

A little cup of cocoa, I am sending out your way.

For you to sip & enjoy on some cold and lonely day.

As you sip this cocoa, it's warmth will warm your heart.

Just like our friendship warmed mine, right from the very start.

The snowman chocolate and lollipop were from Aldi.

For the grown ups (LOL) a Elizabeth SHaw mint and a candy cane stirrer

  Not sure I like the colours with the sachets now, humm!!!

So LET IT SNOW  LET IT SNOW  LET IT SNOW!!!
