Easy Gifts for Difficult People #2 ( Ice Cream Kit )

Feliz Navidad !                    #It'sSnowingInMyBubble

I really enjoy writing and doing DIY posts for this blog so today I'm delighted to post another DIY for my Blogmas mini series 'Easy Gifts For Difficult People' Today I made a ' Just add Ice cream kit ' because everyone loves Ice cream right ? But it always has to be chocolate flavour doesn't it ? If it's not chocolate then I don't want to know ;) Anywayyss this would do really well for anyone , family, friend and strangers a like :) 

Just Add Ice Cream Kit ! 

What You'll need : 

• Ice cream waffle cones 
• Gold curling ribbon
• Gold wrapping Box 
• Plastic Icing bag
• Little Jam Jars ( 50p at Hobbycraft ) 
• Ice cream sauce ( I used Chocolate and Toffee flavoured ) 
• A Variety of Ice cream Sprinkles 
• Cellophane Bags 
• cellatape 
• Scissors 
• Basket/ Gift Box 

1) That four of the waffle cones and put them into the icing bag, then tie a length of gold curling ribbon around the icing bag and curl the ribbons to erm .. make them curly aha :) Add more ribbons until it looks all pretty and add a bow to finish it off :) I also added a chalkboard label because I wanted to play with them .. and it looked cute :) 

2) Next squeeze your toffee and chocolate sauce into the little jam jars ( Not both sauces into the same ones in case your as stupid as me ;) ) and pop them in the basket with the cones . 

3) Take the cellophane bags and cut them in half. Take the part that still has the bottom bit of the bag in and pour some sprinkles into the mini bag :) Sellotape the top of the bag and then old the top over until you've got it folded down to the sprinkles and then sellotape the bag again just to make sure ! 

                                      

4) Repeat step 3 with the rest of your sprinkles :) 

5) Finally just pop everything into the basket or gift box and it's as easy as that ! Perfect for anyone ... unless they're allergic to dairy ;)

Dreamy Decorations DIY :)

God Jul !                          #It'sSnowingInMyBubble!                
My memories of Christmas as a young child consist of many things ... and quite a lot of mince pies ;) But mostly I remember every year, going to the local garden centre to pick out a Christmas tree and bringing it home to decorate it the red and gold colour scheme my sister loved ... whilst i got confused as to why my neon pink, coloured in, paper cut out angel decoration didn't match and how it always ended up back in the decorations box when I left the room ! Thinking back .. I can see my sisters point ;) Tonight Me and my boyfriend faced the terrible task of untangling the fairy lights and then the much less terrible task of decorating the tree together :) I love picking out baubles for the tree and deciding where they'll go ! I mean it's choosing pretty, sparkly things and dangling them from something beautiful and a lit up ... what's not to love ? But I'll talk more about that tomorrow :) Tonight I wanted to show you how I made a cute and fairly easy even if it was slightly fiddly , decoration for the tree which according to Pinterest is Swedish ! 

Swedish Tree Decorations ! 

What you'll need : 

( You will probably be able to find all this around the house somewhere so if you boxed a few up then they might make lovely little gifts for someone at very little cost ! ) 

• White String ( I used bunting string that I found around the house but I'm sure you can get it pretty cheap in Poundland ) 
• PVA Glue ( I used clear glitter paint for the 99p store because that way it already had the sparkles in but looking back it would've held it's structure better with glue ) 
• White/Silver glitter ( 99p Store again ) 
• Scissors 

                                                                            
Firstly, work out what word you want to make ( I made love )  and roughly try and make the shape with your string to see how much you need, add an extra 15cm too the length and then cut the string! 

Next tie a loop in the end of your string so it's a big enough loop to hang off your tree and cut off any excess string from the loop :) 

Now simply soaked your string in glue/ glitter paint and arrange the string to form the letters of your word on some cling film or a plastic bag .. It can be a lil bit fiddly so id do it when you're in a really patient mood aha :) But it's definitely worth the gorgeous results :) 

All that's left now is too leave it to dry for between 24 and 48 hours ( I assume it would be fine after 24 ) and then peel the word off you cling film or plastic bag very slowly and gently, before showing off your stunning creation to everybody by giving it prize place at the front of your tree :) 

Let me know in the comments when you think the right time to put up and decorate your tree is and if you would like to see any more DIY Christmas decorations ! 

Today's Merry Christmas is in Swedish ! In Sweden, families sometimes have a straw goat to guard the Christmas tree ! So I guess your lovely handmade decorations would be safe there at least, having their own personal goat guard and all ;) 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :) 

I hope you've enjoyed the first week of blogmas ! 

Much love, Love Muchly

I'm really sorry . But life goes on :) So without any further a do ( hopefully ;) ) Smiley Sundays day 86-92 , take two ;)

#100happydays : day 86 ( Monday )

Pyjama days are the best :) So I had absolutely no issue with sitting in bed all morning on facetime to my friend, planning blogs and working on one that's taking me a long time; but I can't wait to see what you think of it because I'm almost done :) When I came back to my mums, my sister was in the kitchen attempting to make the Christmas pudding ( which with my mums recipe and excessive use of brandy is probably an alcoholics dream aha :) ) never the less we make the mixture in the summer to give the mixture time to mature letting the fruit steep in the brandy   ... and become even more alcoholic.... and if that's not enough we smother it in a lake of delicious brandy sauce on the magical day itself ;) I think I actually got a bit tipsy last Christmas just off this aha ;) Anyways, my sister was trying to make the pudding by herself and show us what a wonderful domestic goddess she was and it was going absolutely swimmingly .... until I pointed out she'd forgotten to chop the cherries up and she had to pick them all back out again :) Better luck next time darling ;) I also wrote a blog that was very close to my heart on Monday( most likely because this community is where I found my heart ) about the hopefuls and I just want to say thank you for the lovely responses I got both on here and on the hopeful forum :) It means the world <3 If you haven't read it and would like too; you can find it here :) 

#100happydays : day 87 ( Tuesday )

Way. Too. Early. I'm not going to lie I was extremely unimpressed at being awake at six thirty in the summer holidays ... I like my bed , we have a lovely relationship, have great fun spending the night together regularly and I can definitely say I will never have any trouble with commitment issues ;) However I was super excited to go and see Maleficent at the cinema with my youth group which did not disappoint :) I thought the acting was great and I really enjoyed the story line... even if the ending was a lil bit frozen-esque . Although, I am pretty sure that Disney can't steal from Disney so I'll let them off ;) If you've been to see it, tell me what you thought in the comments :) 

#100happydays: day 88 ( Wednesday ) 

Now don't get me wrong; I like ice ... in drinks , in ice cream.. oh my gosh,I love ice cream so so much ! Now I just want to talk about ice cream ! I wonder if I could get away with writing a blog purely about ice cream .... that's so going on my to do list ;) Anyways back to ice :) Today was the day meand my best friend decided to do our Ice Bucket challenge ... It was really cold ! No ! Freezing ! No! Icicle-afying ! A whole new words worth of cold ;) Actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and it's to raise awareness for a good cause of which you can find about here  because I feel like a lot of people don't actually know what they're raising awareness of aha :) I didn't know properly until after I'd actually done it hehe ;) 


#100happydays : day 89 ( Thursday ) 

Today, after work I stopped at Morrison's and bought all of me and my best friends favourite food ( including ice cream and sour cream and chive Pringles obviously ) before picking her up on the way home and as we had the house to our selves we decided to for the first time in our five year long friendship,  try and have a nice, normal meal at my dining room table .... um the food was good ... the conversation went straight to my weird dreams and how much I like curly fries and in attempt to be civilised we drank out of glasses ( are moto is , if you're not the queen, you don't get a glass )  ... filled with chocolate soya milk because that stuffs the BEST ! But I wouldn't change it for the world :) After that we sat down on on the sofa , I played my ukulele and we watched The Wedding Date whilst eating Ben and Jerry's :) 


#100happydays : day 90 ( Friday ) 

With only ten days left of my #100happydays challenge which I have really enjoyed doing , I've decided that I need a way to keep focused on the small good things in everyday that usually go unnoticed . So I've bought a very pretty notebook for only £2 at ASDA and have decided to write one good thing down each day in my new happy diary :) The other day it was as small as my best friend gave me half of her Crunchie but it was still there , still mattered and it meant the day wasn't entirely bad , because it never is :) I had this Idea after seeing something on pinterest that said : 

" Everyday, write down the best thing that's  happened to you in a notebook. Read it back; You'll soon see it's a wonderful life. " 

#100happydays : day 91 ( Saturday ) 

I like hot chocolate . I like my best friend . She made me a hot chocolate . I love my best friend . Simple as ;) However after she made me a hot chocolate we proceeded to go back to bed to watch The Conjuring ... Wait what ! no No NO. Oh okay then aha :) So with her on one side and my boy best friend on the other ( to protect me from the monsters clearly ) we watched The Conjuring . I won't say much but what I will say is I think I might of burst their ear drums ;) Once I got home I drank chocolate milkshake and worked really hard on blogs until one am :) I actually really enjoyed myself and am really looking forward to posting the things I've been working on :) 


#100happydays : day 92 ( Sunday ) 

My ukulele and my happy place are most definitely the same thing :) So I spent the morning in play happy place, song writing and enjoying my last day of the summer holidays and looking at pretty Christmas things on pinterest :) I know I keep talking about Christmas but I just love the spirit of Christmas; the spirit, the love, the handmade gifts and the singing that acts like a glue securing any pieces of my heart that hand become a little lose and were close to falling away from me, firmly back into place and even adding a Santa hat for good will :) So expect lots of Christmas crafts, love, quotes and happiness as soon as I can get away with it <3 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
