Christmas Swapping Fun!

My sister Lisa set up a lovely thing where we get to swap Christmas presents with a surprise person, totally random but fun. The game is basically to send a Christmas card, a baked thing, a bought thing and a Christmas decoration.

I got a lovely person for a swapping partner, Rebecca, and I received her parcel today, and it was wonderful!

Below is a photo of all the shiny things that Rebecca sent me :) Here is a little list!

• star-shaped peppermint creams (so cute!)
• some 'fridged' rocky road (this amused me!)
• a lovely gold bauble (this helped towards charity for children with cerebral palsy & brain injuries!)
• a beautiful handmade purple heart-shaped decoration (I love it, so pretty!)
• a shiny glittery deer (I fell in love with! I heart Bambi!)
• a pretty Christmas card!

A bundle of prettiness!

The decorations on my tree =D

All the lovely touches really made me smile, finishing touches in purple, the star shapes and the little hand-sewn heart.....I felt Rebecca excelled herself in her gifts, and it all means a lot to me.

Thank you Rebecca!

It's christmas time....

...and I haven't showed you my christmas tree yet :)

Well here it is....

Snow Photo Project - Day 10

Day 10: Sun melting away the snow

Snow Photo Project - Day 5

Day 5 : In the back garden

Snow Photo Project

I started this on facebook, and then I realised that my blog is a perfect way to do it! although I have already done 5 days so far.

What I am doing is taking a photo of the snow each day that it is around, a different photo each day...its pretty nice to see how creative you can be!

I will upload the previous 4 days, then I shall blog you a new photo each day :)

Day 4: A fond tree of mine

Day 3: My neighbours back garden

Day 2: Trees in the park behind our house

Day 1: When it first started snowing in our street

I know I did it back to front....although keep posted if you like my photos :)

Favourite TV shows

I keep looking through my interests, and I am annoyed that there isnt a section for tv shows as I prefer these to films. Since I can't rattle them out there, Im just going to write a little list of what i like :)

• House
• Scrubs
• Family Guy
• Sex and The City
• Mighty Boosh
• Two and a Half Men
• Will and Grace
• Friends
• KIng of Queens

That's all there is for the moment.....I've written some of these in my christmas list for my friends to buy, so will be happy to get them. Although I noticed when I was in Glasgow yesterday that the 4th season of House is out, oh how I itched to buy it!


Hugh Laurie is one of the main reasons I love House, I suppose it should be since he is Dr. House, but there is just something about his character that makes me laugh when I watch the episodes. Even though he is an older man, I find him somewhat charming and attractive, even though he may be a cold hearted man in the show...well thats how he shows himself isn't it.

As well as tv shows I like certain comedians, although it is not many so far

• Billy Connolly
• Lee Evans
• Bill Bailey
• Chris Rock

I have nearly all of Billy Connolly's dvds, two of Chris Rock's, one of Bill Baileys and I need to start collecting Lee Evans.

Autumn Is Here!

Photograph taken by myself, editted on Photoshop 7 :)

So yes the autumn is here, I smile as I kick the leaves as I walk through them. I look at the wonderful bright colours of the falling leaves. Surely the air is much colder and the darkness of the night set in much earlier. Although I dont let this get me down, because it means it will be christmas soon!

The Eventful Day of Broken Headphones and the Adventures of the Urinating Woman

As you can see my wonderful headphones broke, I was so gutted and in disbelief last night when it happened. All I was doing was taking the headphones from around my neck to place them on my head, but in the middle of the process all I heard was - SNAP! I looked at them.....and was like....no way!
Today was a trip to Glasgow, to go back to HMV to return my broken headphones and get new ones. Although I must admit when I was walking up to the train station in Kilwinning, I didnt expect to see a woman running from behind a wall to crouch down and pee right in front of my own eyes!At first I thought she was vomiting...then I realised she was peeing. I almost turned around to walk back, but then i decided just to walk with my eyes to the ground as there was a man behind me walking in the same direction. After the woman had finished relieving herself and went away, I spoke to the man about how shocked I was. I had a laugh saying that Im glad that I've seen worse on the internet, but his response to that was...'But you don't expect to see it in real life do you?'. Which is true I suppose.

Other than that, I had a good day at Glasgow...I bought some books from Waterstones, two paranormal fiction books and a book called 'The language of genes' by Steven Jones, I feel I need to improve my reading on more intellectual books..so this is a start. I also exchanged my headphones, the man was very nice about it and had a laugh about me going on how depressed I was at them being broken in a good humoured way.
Although anytime I'm in a game shop now, I keep eyeing up the xbox 360 and I really want to buy one......very unlike me, but it calls to me.

Oh while I'm typing away to you, I will show you a photo of the new hair....even though its no drastic change, but its purdy! :)
