Halloween party night.....






Tonight the girls have gone to their school Halloween party night - a week early for some strange reason. I guess because many people go trick or treating on the actual night. The children didn't have school today either so I guess that gave the school time to decorate and get organised. Laurence spent all week saying he didn't want a costume and didn't want t go because the Jr High kids said it was babyish and not worth going to. Tonight he is sulking because all his friends are going and he doesn't have a costume. So I suggest costumes we have in the costume box and he isn't interested so his friends offer him costumes and he plans to go with them and now he can't get in touch with them because it's too late.....and now he's tired from his sleepover last night and sulking because he isn't out having fun! I'd happily take him but he's too busy sulking!

We bought Abigail a purple and black witch costume because on the packet it looked so cute - but when she put it on it was awful - it looked like something a paedophile would design!!!!! OMG so she didn't wear that - instead we got the dress up box out and she wore this rapunzel dress as a 'nice witch' instead! I had no body glitter so I rubbed red stickles on their skin lol! Oh scrapbooking supplies come in handy sometimes ;) I told them if they come out in a rash they should find a bathroom and wash it off quickly lol!

Susannah is an 'Evil Fairy' and her wings have black cobwebs on them....I made her wand.....a dowel and black felt hot glued and then decorated again with stickles lol!

Lots to blog about!!

I am going to blog all out of order the next little while!!! I want to blog about Stacey and her atc's, her children, postcards, the renovations, Oliver, my Nan, Halloween.....and so its all going to be out of order lol! And none of it is in order of preference - just in order of how the pictures are coming off the camera - and that tends to be back to front lol!

Painted atc's



Here are some atc's I received in the 'painted atc' swap at Swapbot. These came from Erna in South Africa. Erna is an artist and an art teacher! She actually contacted me on Facebook! Aren't these atc's exquisite? I plan to frame them and put them on the wall as they are miniature portraits in watercolour!
