In the theme of handmade (sort of) Christmas gifts we fixed up some beer for widget's dad.....
I've seen these done several times and was glad I gave it a go this year
"Reinbeer"
Labels printed from this fun site....
really fun with some christmas pipe cleaners with little bells....
our ham was delicious.....
... it came with a calender that surprised me....
.... when my boys were younger in the house I really was against these sexy woman calenders and pictures.... I told them it's an insult to me to have these images.....
... somehow I don't feel the same about this one!.....
(actually I think he needs a bit more meat on him!!)
Righto, Gotto Go..... still sorting those cupboards.... how come when I sort one shelf it makes three times more mess and things to do??????
Hello Fiona,
ReplyDeleteI was loving the reinbeer part of this post then got to the bottom of it and just cracked up. Thanks for the great start to the day.
By the way does your husband read your blog???
Happy days
Bev.xoxo
lol,lol,you crack me up Fiona,love the idea with reinbeer and your ham looks so yummy and lol,i can see why you like your new calander,what a wonderful post,enjoy your day my friend.xx
ReplyDeletePerfect way to start a new year.
ReplyDeleteLove the reinbeer.
I've been wanting to make reinbeer for a few years now, but I keep forgetting! Love the calendar! ;0)
ReplyDeleteLove the reinbeer idea, and your calendar story is very funny. I don't think your calendar is demeaning.......it's art!
ReplyDeleteThe Reinbeer is great! I know what I'm doing for my s-i-l next year! Did you make your own beer? The calendar is nice to look at but would make me feel guilty after all the times I've told men that such stuff is using women as sex objects. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL..now that is a cute way to present a gift...nice looking ham...MY DH looks just like him....LOL...LOL...
ReplyDeleteAh reminds me must get a 'firies' calendar for next year. Lol. Love the rein beer and your ham looks delish.
ReplyDeleteToo funny Fiona. I'd keep that calender too. :) Love the reinbeer. Hugs,xx.
ReplyDeletecute reinbeer..
ReplyDeleteas far as I am concerned that guy in the calendar is still a male, when I look at him I think 'get out of the bed and get some clothes on so I can make the bed!'
I must be too old....
Ham and reindeers look great The other looks delectable
ReplyDeleteOh you are naughty
Funny reindeer beer! And I've been cleaning cupboards too! Must be the thing to do before the New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt's always harder to think of things to make men. This would have gone down well
ReplyDeleteBack from holidays and catching up on your news. The ham looks delicious ( and so does the calendar!). Love the idea with the beer bottles. Good luck with all the tidying and sorting. Isn't this a great time to get into those cupboards so there can be a fresh start to the new year? Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh Fiona I love your reinbeer weewee - what a brilliant idea. Good on you having the calendar, a few more sales & the poor boy might be able to afford to buy clothes! Scrumptious looking ham (the real one, not still talking about the clothesless man!). Tracee xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea, I know some blokes who would appreciate reinbeer :-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I must be getting old......all I can think is that calendar bloke looks far too young for me!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I love the beer Fi, very clever.
ReplyDeleteAs for the calender, that's a good one... years ago a boyfriend of mine was a Fireman, and he appeared in the WA Firemans calender, so of course I had to have my copy!
Tell Hubz your calender is for ... um... ah... bed linen research... x
Yummy calendar - oops I mean ham!!???Great idea about the beer labels.
ReplyDeleteGreat little idea for the reindeer tops.
ReplyDeleteI too am on the lookout for a calendar to rival the one DS gave hubby :)
lol love that beer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea...
ReplyDeleteMama Bear
