Even Martine needed a new outfit for the celebrations.
We are getting ready for Halloween here all very exciting for the young ones in the house. The past few days has been spent making decorations and finding funny Halloween recipes for a party we are holding here tomorrow night. I need to finish all this stuff so i can think about a costume for myself. What should I be this year? While I am thinking about it I am going over to Kirsty's and checking in on others creative space.
A little while back I joined swap-bot. The purpose was so I could join in a swap that had been suggested over at the meet me at mikes forum. A crafty pen pals swap was the topic. A decorated envelope was the job. I have sent my two off and they should be winging their way across the sea to Australia as we speak but who knows how long they will take to get there. I have ranted on about the postal system in this country before so I won't bore you all again. Mine have both turned up and how nice it was to receive letters with info about what people do and what they are up to and also to be able to read it anywhere I choose not in the spare room where the computer is. I enjoyed both my letters immensely and I want to thank littlefec & sophiebc very much for taking the time to write them. They might even get a little letter back if they are lucky!!!
Well another Monday has passed which means another weekend has come and gone. We had a fab time camping-as we always do. Not much was done by me except eat, read and laze around on my banana lounge. I think the kids won the award for the most done on a weekend away. They have now mastered the art of snorkeling which they are most proud of. First day was baby steps holding dad's hand as they were bobbing about but then Sunday they let go and were swimming around by themselves. Oh it is fantastic seeing your kids learn something new and be really excited by it and be looking forward to the next time.Bring on the next camping trip they say!!!
I will probably have had a couple of these by the time you read this.Have a good weekend!!!
Sorry I wasn't here yesterday I forgot all about popping in.
I think there was too much packing and unpacking of this machine that is supposed to make life easier.Happy Friday!!!
