Halloween

Christine you are a legendary party host!

We had Such a ball, everyone looked fantastic in their costumes. I am always amazed at how creative some people are.

Happy Halloween!

Christmas Planner

Have I told you I am looking forward to Christmas this year? We I am, I feel like a Kid again.. Maybe it is because my kids will love it this year. Also, every year I am disorganised but i have planned to be organised this year. I have already started planning the legendary family picture... I have got the layout for the letter.
My latest little bit of excitement is this gorgeous little Christmas purse planner. You keep it in you bag (yes with all the other things) and keep track of gifts, cards, {who sent you cards - Mag you about the only one who is safe there:-)}

I think it is really neat...

Cut the Crazy out of Christmas...Start Early

I have signed up for the BPS Class on Cut the crazy out of Christmas. I am definitely looking forward to Christmas this year and can't wait for the December Holidays. We had Rylee come stay for the weekend and so I decided that we would make our own Advent Calendars. I never expected them to come out as great as they have. These kids are creative! All the little bits and bobs were their doing. If I were to make it it probably would have been ultra boring!

Doodles!

Last Saturday, I went to a Sephanie Ackerman class on Doodling. You can visit her blog here

She taught us some really simple tricks on how to doodle. She doodled my name.

I just love her style. I then tried it??? Still needs a bit of work.

I did this one for Teresa of her Family name. How fun!

Here are Stephanie and I with our presents! I was so excited when Lara walked over and said" Who's present is that?" when she saw mine on the table. The strangest things connect people?!?
