Woodland Creations




I have made a wonderful discovery on Facebook called Woodland Creations and am eager to share it with you all.

 

They make unique personalised handmade items that are simply beautiful. This is a small family business & there is obviously an outstanding attention to detail and skill involved in creating these keepsakes.

 

Not only can names be personalised, but different characters can be used. From my brief messages with Woodland Creations it is clear they are happy to (where possible) make a design that is personal to you & your family. 

 

I think these would be a wonderful addition to any home and a beautiful gift suitable for any occasion.

 

Here are a section of my favourites.

 
 

The wreaths are super cute and come in different sizes.

 
 

The Pictures are amazing! A very unique family tree. You can even include pets.

 

My favourite is the Fairyland Scene

 

These engagement & anniversary designs are lovely.

 
 

Phone cases, Bunting & Cards with detachable Keyrings.

 
 

Prices are reasonable, especially considering how unique they are and the amount of work that goes into them. However you can also buy a 'Sew It Yourself Kit' which is cheaper & would be lots of fun to make.

 

I'm sure many of you will like these as much as I do. The only problem I'm having is deciding which I want to purchase!

 

They do so much more, this is just a small selection of my favourites.

Check out their page-

Also for those of you that might feel lucky, they are currently running weekly competitions. All you have to do is be the person who 'likes, comments & posts' the most in the week. Whoever is named the 'Top Fan' wins a prize.

Family Day Out at Lee Valley Park Farm

A wonderful day at the farm was one of our adventures in half term last week. We visited Lee Valley Park Farm in Waltham Abbey. This was a favourite place of mine as a child and my children love it just as much. We had an amazing time. There was so much to do & see. I highly recommend visiting.

Here some photo's of our adventure....


We took a free tractor ride to a cow farm.

The Tweedles loved the calves.

Then we went to see cows being milked






The Tweedles were fascinated by the milking, which we watched from a lovely viewing gallery.


We met cute sheep,

some lovely pigs



and some fun goats!

We saw an amazing Birds of Prey Display!


We dug for dinosaur bones.


We slid down Alpine Adventure in the doughnuts












We climbed the Spider Tower.

We played in the Bundle Barn

 

 

 





We loved the new Meerkat Lookout enclosure.

We played in the sand pit next to the meerkats.

Our favourite thing was this gigantic 'pillow'. Crossed between a bouncy castle & trampoline, this was amazing fun.

 

We all had a brilliant day, we had only got half way home when The Tweedles were already asking when we can go again. A new play area is also currently being built (due in March 2015), so of course a great excuse to visit soon.

 

Plans for the new play area!

 

This farm is a brilliant family day out for all ages, prices are reasonable (& discounts available if booking online). I highly recommend visiting.
