Gosh my postings are getting few and far between of late. So much to do and so little time lol. I shall be back in a few days with Novembers challenge over at Christmas Cards All Year Round :)


So we've almost finished half term, pity Halloween is the first day back at school but what can you do. My son keeps asking when we're going to put the decorations up and i keep telling him that what we have is up. We have decorated the Owls...

We have decorated Pumpkins (as of the night before last)...

 My hubby did the one above...

I did this which initially was supposed to be an Owl but ended up just being a rather strange face lol...


We have odds and ends around including some toilet rolls that we decorated...

this was supposed to be a crafty project with my son but soon became mine with some help from hubby...

Also this week we've been to Stratford for a viewing of some photos that i had done as part of a 'Model Experience' makeover. I managed to whittle the choices down to two which came as part of the deal but am now awaiting their arrival. I took the chance to take some more pictures in Stratford and then played around with them using Picnic...

Here is Mr Shakespeare himself ;) 

and a spooktacular view across the river...


We've been to a Halloween party where my son took great delight in dressing up as a Vampire!

and lastly i got a job! 

Or another job i guess. I have been searching for that illusive job that inspires and full fills ones needs. I still do a bit of hairdressing, i deliver leaflets two mornings a week which has done wonders for my weight but come rain or shine or snow i have to go, i write poems for e-cards but now i am helping out in a kitchen for The Jolly Good Pud Company who makes all kinds of wonderful baked goodies for weddings, special events and they also sell on our local market. You know how i love to bake and bake i have already and I've only been in two days this week, or three if you count yesterdays Cup Cake Basics class but that was more pleasure than work. One thing i had to master was decorating cakes using icing bags and nozzles and i was pretty pleased with what i turned out yesterday...

It's hard to choose favourites but you can see all that i decorated in the top picture and some close ups of a couple. They are going down quite well so far and i have baked some more cupcakes of my own to decorate later. So as you can tell it's been a pretty full on week and golly it's Monday tomorrow and most things return to normal...or do they ha ha ha ha cackle cackle lol...
