My 1st card made in New House

Well with the craft room now sorted I actually enjoyed sitting & browsing through CDs I had bought & never used & ended up not being able to resist using Makey Bakey Mice Christmas CD ROM it's well cute :) the Decoupage, backing paper & sentiment are from the CD & then I added a few polystyrene balls to a bag & added a little glitter & shook the bag until they were coated to make mini snowballs. I then used Collall tacky glue to add the fake snow & mini snowballs. The baubles Are held in place using Collall 3D gel. I added some brown ribbon & some pearls & I'm looking forward to making the box. It will have to wait now until tomorrow as I'm starting tea now then I can have a bath & watch some TV. xxx

Home Made Fat Balls

Ok......
so I bought a tub of 50 Fat Balls but the amount of birds that visit soon left the nets empty, so last night I put some thick bread & sesame seed rolls into the blender to turn them into bread crumbs, added peanuts & bird seed & then melted some lard. I then moulded them into balls. I left them in the fridge over night & this morning Iv opened the empty nets & placed the new fat balls inside. I used bakers twine to sew the tops & left some length to the twine for hanging the Fat Balls up. As I was sewing the nets up my German Shepherd dog stole one & tried to do a runner with it, he loves eating nuts as my parrot regularly throws them out the cage to him. I had my hubby hang them on the bird stand & Arch way & so far so good as they love them :) xxx

Internet is up & running :)

Ok so the post I wrote last week has only just been sent but how fab things can become within a week :) Poor Satallite installation man was mugged by us all to get our gadgets connected to the wireless router lol. I was unable to post comments unless I was in town which is an hour drive away & I haven't been out much, I'm enjoying the new house & surroundings to much. 

It was all go today with the Satallite being fitted & then the chimney sweep arrived early which was a good job as the lounge chimney took him over an hour to clean. The bedroom fire place is now up & running & I wanna go bed early just so I can watch the fire in bed. My Drs medical went well but I have to go back on Thuraday with weather permitting as we have bad weather coming in but with freezer full & store room bursting I'm ready to be snowed in now. I'm sure broadband will go down when bad weather hits us but that's something I can cope with as long as it's not off for 4 weeks lol xxx

Internet........ Pants!

Ok so yesterday was the day I waited for BT to arrive to set up my Broadband. I placed the order 5 weeks ago & text messages & emails had been coming in to the countdown. BT man arrived nice & early & my day was planned to sit & play on the Internet all day to get back into the swing of it. Then! The words I didn't want to hear we are to remote to get any broadband :( we have a telephone line but the line is to old to be able to receive internet :( i now have to spend the day looking at satellite broadband company's. I think a phone call to BT is in order as now I'm sick of the messages coming in from BT saying my broadband is up & ready! I think it's time they started to listen to actual people instead of automatic robots sending messages out which is wasting my mobile phone contract internet. 

On the bright side..... I'm still loving my new house & now my Daughter & Grandkids have moved in the house is filled with love & laughter. 

I'm also looking forward to my new Doctors medical as I'm sure my stress levels are extremely low & BP pressure is perfect. Life is good :) xxxxx
