Duvet Day

Well nobody was full of energy today so we are staying at home, some still in their pjs.

J&C are doing some work on Bees mums 70th album we are doing one of those lovely SEI albums (allegedly you can do in 2 hours but are great for beginners none the less). Fiona is making Christmas presents and doing very well.

The Book Quiz

Well I tried the Book Quiz as referred to from That Ruddy Blog and I am not entirely sure I am happy with the results.

I was Compassion Fatigue!

I tried to copy the link but it didn't work for me, my technological ignorance again I am afraid

Successful Sunday

Well we enjoyed our car boot sale, only made £15 but also only spent £1 on 2 Mary Kate and Ashley DVDS so quite a success and we have recycled a load of stuff, so the bedroom is looking nicely bare as the pile of junk had previously been housed in the corner. I would definitely do another one next year, I am sure we still have stuff that should have gone. It is quite suprising what actually sells

Mini book

Here is a little mini book I have done following Ansos instructions, difficult to photograph unfortunately

Lazy Saturday

Well Fiona had a friend sleepover last night and Bee has gone to work so I am pottering around and doing a bit of scrapbooking. Here is a layout done which achieves a lot:-

8x8 for my little album of favourite photos also scrapped elsewhere

Serendipity squares (well letters) to help me catch up on stashscrappers team challenges

finish off pp from Scrapagogo October kit before my Cocoa Daisy November kit arrives (just the flowery piece left that will incorporate a lot of intricate cutting, enough said)

incorporates some doodling which I have not done enough of during my BPS doodling course

My first layout of November

Too cute to spook

Well we had a very full Halloween, the party Fiona went to was very full on and well organised, lots of games and even adults dressed up. They all got to go trick or treating together which was fun. fiona had an accident on the bouncy castle at the end that meant we beat a hasty retreat. We then joined Bee and went up to the Living Legend for Fright Night it was very spooky and they had a great ghost walk around a pitch black adventure golf with ghosts from the Jersey Youth theatre giving some suprise scares. Fiona wasn't too sure about it as you can see from the photos but she was very brave, a boy of about 12 who was in our group cried all the way around. We also have some divine pumpkin and lime butter with almond soup yum with a side of chips to keep Fiona happy.

Apologies i don't know how to rotate the photos.

Tomorrow I have very foolishly said Fiona can have a friend to sleepover so it will be matchsticks in the eyes on Saturday. Still they are excited at the thought of a film and some popcorn so hopefully they will be easily pleased.

On my drive home tonight I saw the first Christmas decorations in somebodys window, a little early for us yet, though we are having Christmas dinner early on 9th December due to us Christmassing in SA this year. Pretty much all my Christmas shopping is done.
