Bird House Wind Chimes....

I was doing my weekly grocery shop the other week when I saw these...The Go Create Bird House Wind Chime kit.....I thought they would be ideal for something to do over the half term......

 They were only a couple of pounds each and I got lucky.....I have just went back to share the link and they are not available anymore :(

Here is the fun my girls had with them.....

 

For something so simple it created a lot of fun....It gave the girls something different to do and they are very impressed with their creations.....

Ellie is convinced that if we put them out in the garden little birds will come and live in them.....hehehe

Our Weekly Meal Plan!! - #mealplanningmonday

Last week was fantastic....The half term break was brilliant but today the girls are back to school and back into a routine.....I'm not looking forward to the dark mornings but on the upside the next holidays we get are the Christmas one's!!

This week on the menu we have:

Monday - Chicken casserole, mash and veg...
Tuesday - Something quick out of the freezer probably with chips...We have Becky's first parents evening since she started Secondary school....
Wednesday - Tuna pasta bake... 
Thursday - Baked Bean Curry & rice....
Friday - Scampi & chips....
Saturday - Pizza.... 
Sunday - Yorkshire Pudding Pie....

 

 As always I've joined in with the wonderful Mrs M's #mealplanningmonday linky....

Silent Sunday!!

Hallmark Christmas Cards....

I always start preparing for Christmas after the girls birthdays at the beginning of September but one thing I always seem to leave till the last minute is sending Christmas Cards....I am one of those people who always panics and just about makes the last posting dates...

This year I have been given a bit of encouragement by the lovely people at Hallmark who sent me a lovely package of their range of cards for Christmas 2014.

My favourite by far was from the Razzle Dazzle range which is new for 2014....It is so sparkly and christmassy.....Perfect! The little gift bags are just so cute and will be perfect for little presents for someone special!!

 

Also new this year is their 3D cards.....These are so pretty and makes a nice change from normal cards....

 
With prices starting from as little as 79p grab yourself a bargain......The products are available to buy from Hallmark stores now and their luxury 3D range and Just Dotty cards are also available online....

I was sent a selection of Hallmark Christmas Cards in exchange for writing this post....All thoughts and opinions are of course my own.....
