Christmas Countdown - Christmas Eve!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS TOMORROW! YAY!

Yesterday me and my sisters were busy making a gingerbread house... from scratch!

It took a long time to cook, cause you had to put it in the fridge between stages, but it was worth it in the end - decorating it was so fun!

I am really happy with how it came out, considering that I am not that great a cook...!

(It was a great recipe, and if you want it go to this Chanel 4 recipe page)

I decorated the front, my sister Abi decorated the side saying 'Abigail's House', my other sister Becca decorated the back, and me and Becca (joint effort) decorated the Santa side.

Hope you like it! :D

Christmas Countdown - 3 days to go!

There are only 3 days left til Christmas! I am so excited!

While I was in the festive spirit, I decided to write a festive hamster poem, inspired by 'Twas the night before Christmas'.

On the night before Christmas,

I was asleep on my pillow,

but one creature was stirring,

and that was my Willow.

She was running around,

frenzied with joy,

waiting for the presents,

and hoping for a fun toy.

She raced in her wheel,

like the speed of light,

then went back into her house,

to settle in for the night.

She rummaged around,

preparing her bed,

then nibbled some food,

before finally resting her head.

When she next awoke,

it was Christmas day,

and Hannah was there

to come for a play.

In Willow's cage lay a new little toy,

which Willow discovered, full of joy.

She played with it happily, day after day

and they had a wonderful Christmas, full of play.

Hope you enjoyed the poem, even if it was a little odd!

How to make your very own Christmas hamster jigsaw puzzle

Today I am going to tell you how to make a Christmas hamster jigsaw!

There are 7 steps, and I would say it is pretty simple, though if you are under 10 you may want an adults help cutting the jigsaw out, as that part can be pretty tricky.

You will need:

1 x sheet of cardboard
1 x photo or picture (A Christmas hamster perhaps?)
1 x scalpel or craft knife
1 x cutting board/protective surface
1 x glue stick (the bigger, the better)
1 x 30cm ruler or rule
1 x roll of book film
1 x pencil



If you don’t have a craft knife/scalpel, you can use scissors, but with more difficulty.
