Christmas Gallery

Well Christmas is over and the New Year is nearly here. Time really does fly by! I've had a great time over Christmas, spending time with my family and friends. Here's a few photos to show you what I've been up to...

 



 

I have a recommendation for my local readers. Me and my family ate out for our Christmas dinner. We chose The Plough Inn at Far Forest and it was delicious! The carvery tasted so good and is definitely the best carvery I've ever had! So if you fancy eating out next year, I certainly recommend The Plough Inn.

 

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas readers and have a great time tomorrow night celebrating the New Year!

Mince Pie Making!

To get in the festive spirit, me and my Mom and Dad made some mince pies and mince stars! Our little family activity on a Saturday afternoon made us feel really Christmassy. I've put together some photos, recipes and step by step instructions of how you readers can also make some festive treats!

These little goodies taste delicious and I really recommend you have a go at baking some. I hope you all find these tips useful and I've inspired you to make your own! I'd love to see how your versions get on, so please tweet me (@Abbey_Hartley, #MaterialMedia) or share your photos on www.facebook.com/MaterialMedia. Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy your mince pies and stars...

Stocking Fillers

It's December! So the countdown to Christmas has officially begun. If you're like me and refuse to start your Christmas shopping until December (or very late November at the earliest), then you'll be needing some gift ideas for your up and coming shopping trips. Here's some great stocking fillers to treat your loved ones to this Christmas...

Christmas Jumpers!

Last week, I treated myself to an early Christmas present! I bought this gorgeous festive jumper from River Island, for a decent price of £35. I thought this knitted beauty would keep me cosy on those cold Winter days and look great during the festive season.

 

 

I'm loving all the Christmas themed jumpers that are hitting the highstreet this week! I've put together some knitted jumpers and cardigans that feature reindeer, snowflakes, penguins and robins. Get ready for the festive season and treat yourself to an early Christmas gift...
