Christmas Meme

I love Christmas! I love everything about it, giving gifts, spending time with family and friends, decorating the house, doing Christmasy crafts with the kids, reading Christmas stories, watching Christmas movies ….. everything!!! So I thought it might be fun to start a new meme especially for Christmas.

Each week, starting today you can write a post on your blog about something Christmas related, share a fun story, a Christmas web site you have found, a fun craft idea, a special tradition, Christmas hints and tips, your favourite decoration or Christmas recipe or movie …. anything you like, then come back here each week until Christmas and I’ll have Mister Linky waiting for you to link up your post.

I can’t wait to hear some of your ideas! It would be great if you could spread the word, the more the merrier :) Feel free to use the button on your blog!

Christmas Holy

This week I am going to tell you about a great gift idea I heard about on a forum. They are Sand Art Brownies. Basically you fill a jar with the ingredients needed to make some brownies…. yummo, I love this idea!!!

Weigh in Wednesday

weigh in

I haven’t been able to get myself motivated to eat properly or to exercise lately. I’ve come up with excuse after excuse as to why I can’t watch what I’m eating and why I can’t exercise but to be perfectly honest I have just been really slack.

Sitting here yesterday I realised that it’s only 7 weeks until Christmas and a little later I was thinking about this weight loss challenge and how I have got 7kg to loose to reach my first goal of 65kg.

So I have come up with a challenge for myself. 7 in 7 in 07! Lose 7 kgs in 7 weeks in 2007 :) I don’t think I could think of a better Christmas present for myself than to reach my first goal.
Go to Tales From The Scales to follow other participants on their weight lose journey!

Frugal Friday – Christmas Wrappings

frugal friday

Christmas wrapping paper and boxes can be quite expensive so keep your eyes out for wrapping paper or boxes in plain colours. These are usually cheaper and you can even get them even cheaper when they are on sale. Red, green, yellow, gold or silver are particularily festive but other colours will work too.
