Start 'em young........



Sam peeling potatoes for Daddy at dinner time - he did a great job but took about half an hour to peel one potato :)

Queen of hearts...she made some tarts....




Abigail is feeling fed up at the moment so I wanted to spend some time just with her, so today we made jam tarts together. We made two different kinds together - some we made in ready made frozen pastry shells, and some we made in proper pastry! She loved having to roll the pastry out and cut the circles out...and she liked being able to make a HUGE jam pasty at the end that she got to eat herself! I liked the ease of standing beside her and just filling pastry shells while she was busy!!! :) You can see her big pasty on the rack and a mixture of the jam tarts in the picture above :) I must admit that her jam tarts taste MUCH better!!!

Feeling crafty :)





Today I managed to get all of my ATC's done for the swaps I'm in at the moment! I did all my nature swap ATC's and the one for my Frog Swap! All ready to send off! I can't add the pictures of the nature swap because they are for people who read my blog - so you will have to wait to see them, but I'm really happy with them :) I've started work on the New Year atc's for the swap I'm organizing too!

Then I worked on a little album I'm making of my family. It's been a while since I worked on a mini album. I didn't get much done but I've made a start.

I spent a while cutting up lots of card stock in size for future atc's too - I find this makes it a much faster job to make them when I need to do them - and I made quite a few up in watercolour cardstock as I love painting atc's.

It was windy out today again - the last couple of months have been so windy here - still very little snow or rain but soooo much wind! The rest of the country seems to have had a lot of snow so I have no idea why it keeps missing us, but thats fine with me! But this wind - WOW!!!!! It was nice to snuggle up and stay home and just craft!!!

Guess who......



Lol....oh the styles these kids wear ;)

Twilight - possible spoilers - but Stacey knows already lol!

I had a wonderful evening - going was soooooo much fun! We got there two hours early and the line up was quite long already - full of teenaged girls with nothing better to do but the atmosphere was sooo much fun!!! It was BUZZING!!!

I thought the movie was disappointing - there were some really good parts in it and it COULD have been really good - but it was runied by some VERY bad acting and some VERY CHEESY parts - OMG the part where Bella walks into the classroom by the fan....the whole theatre was laughing hysterically at how cheesy it was - and when the Doc walks in - it was so bad it was like a bad American soap opera!!! the worst kind - why they had to keep doing those terrible slow camera moves into Edwards eyes - it just made everyone in the theatre laugh when you weren't supposed to!

But it was such a fun evening! I really enjoyed going and there were parts of the movie that I really enjoyed - it's 50% great and 50% really corny!!!! It was great going to one of the first showings and everyone there being so excited to see it - most of the teens were dressed in Twilight gear and many of them had their books with them - and there were lots of screams when it first started - and lots of laughs at the funny cheesy bits the atmosphere MADE the night I had a great time!

The movie imo is NOTHING like the book....even things like the kitchen in Bellas house is nothing like the kitchen in my mind.....and Jasper...OMG!!! The only thing they had right to me was Alice's voice!! It's a shame they didn't go with a different director.....with these wonderful books they could have done so much more.

Lol thats jmho anyway

After the movie Lloyd and I went to Milestones for dinner and Lloyd said even our waiter looked like Edward - too funny! It was such a fun evening - Lloyd was a real sport to put up with waiting in line with all those teenaged girls - he was practically the only guy!!!! Luckily we got great seats near the back and by the aisle - perfect!!! I had my coffee for the movie too :) Dinner was yummy and the movie and atmosphere was fun! So the movie wasn't great but my evening was! :) I had a blast - Thank you Lloyd! YOU are all the Edward I need :)
