Well its officially a Christmas countdown now...

as Ive seen the cola lorry advert twice...lol (you know the one the holidays are coming)
Oh yes it will be here soon and have you got your Christmas list organised like a good mom or like me,I can see myself running round frantically like a headless chicken on Christmas Eve just so my son gets the one game that has sold out everywhere and will probably play once before trading it in on boxing day for the game he really wanted.
So that's a glimpse into my Christmas countdown

Happy Halloooweeeeeeeen

The Pumpkin is carved and sweet treats ready for the little monsters at the door. I love Halloween I just wish we were a bit more like the Americans and went all out for this celebration but hey ho
Here's Josh in his scary outfit

he managed to fill his goody bag with enough sweets for at least a week if not longer .

I think I need a drink ......

I've not been able to do much crafting as my house has sprung a leak and all the stuff that was piled up in my kitchen,no not ironing as that was all done in the hols ,but all the other stuff that needed to be put somewhere,so my crafting den has been taken over while we wait for a plumber to put his finger on the problem. And what a problem it is as he started to dig up the house (thankfully from the outside )with a bash here and a lot of mud and a big hole later, my puddle that was becoming a pond has been averted until Monday when hopefully he will return to sort the rest of the hole out.
So if any one has a glass of wine spare drop me one off I think I need one. On a good note the kids are sorted for Halloween will take piccies tomorrow before we go out and ransack the street.

Hippo Clip

Now this was a quirky little thing I made for a challenge and I thought it was a cutie, ideal for a quick gift. You could make it into a magnet instead of a bookmark clip as a topper the uses are multiple, you could make make an entire safari of animals (remember the lion).
I used the SU small oval punch for ears and nose
scallop punch for the teeth circle punch for the head and small circle for the eyes
All punches are from Stampin Up
