Christmas 2022

Hello Everyone - I hope you all are well and had a peaceful holiday.

Has you have seen I have started planning for Christmas 2022. I normally start planning on Boxing day, but this year I couldn't do my usual thing. Due to my Christmas day was going to be officially on Boxing day. Because some of my family had to work Christmas day. 

On the 20th of December I started to work on my new project. I normally just have a few pages in my planner for Christmas. But for next year I decided to have a Christmas book. 

I normally make my own notebooks, but for this one I did not fancy the added pressure of making one. So luckily enough I had a spare notebook.

I took some wrapping paper and covered the front and back of the notebook. Then I found out one of my Christmas postcard. I went for Silent Night in memory of my uncle, it was his favourite Carol. 

After that I went and got my 'We Are Memory Keepers Tab punch board' out, and also found some scrap cardstock. Below is a picture of what I made.

I then went onto using scrap pattern paper for the inside covers. Over the next few days, after work I worked on the inside. 

I had decided on five maybe six sections, ended up doing five.  Below is pictures of what the inside looks like and the list of sections.

1. Gifts

2. Cards

3. Budget

4. Food list

5. Movies

I can not wait to start using this, which is a good thing. There is nothing worst than making something and then not wanting to use it. I have done that in the past. 

Thank you for stopping by and reading my post.

May I wish you all a Blessed New Year.

Hello everyone!!
Today as normal was the boring old food shop day!  If your anythink like me, I hate food shop day with a passion. I get so stressed out its unbelievable - no wait it is believable just ask my mum. I think for me and everyone its the whole experience and then its the unpacking once home.

So I firstly went into Sainsburys and then Morrison's...

I'm not if you saw last night (12th) corrie.. Well Sainsburys released their Christmas advert.... The advert tells the true story of 1914 Christmas day match in no mans land between our lads and Germany!

If you missed or haven't seen the advert here it is.

If you can not get the video above to work. Here is a link to Sainsburys Christmas Advert

For me I love this advert, so, so touching and moving..

So today my main aim was to try and get some of the chocolate that was shown in the advert! Sad but true...

I got just inside the door and there was a display. I didn't think at the time to get a picture of the display!

Here is the Chocolate

The chocolate is being sold for a £1 and all profit made is going to the royal British legion - poppy appeal! 

Then I saw Sainsburys had in store more Christmas tops. At first I didn't think much of them until.. Oh My God look what I found!!

It is a t-shirt

I love!!!!! The Coca-Cola holidays are coming advert. . . .  I think we all look forward to seeing the ad.

 I should say this t-shirt is found in the men's clothing department of the store...

One thing I have learnt with shops and their sizes, are not true to the size it says!
Which is a annoying, to say the lease.

After Sainsburys I went to Morrison's. To get the rest of my shopping. Plus I'm doing their Christmas Bonus spend £40 for six weeks (plus using their new Match and more card)  to get £25 back off my Christmas Shop..

One thing I had to pick up was washing tablets!  So I got these for £3.00

I know boring right? I only buy Surf when its on offer. I Normally buy Morrison's own.. 

Then I saw this, next to them! 

Its Surf own take on 'Fifty Shades Of'.

Yep has you guess I just had to have these.. I shouldn't say this but I love what it says on the bottom of the packet. 

After I finished at Morrison's it was time to go home and un pack... 

Please let me know what you thought of my first none gardening/nature or crafting blog post?
