Happy Halloween

This is one excited house here this morning ... I think this holiday could be one of our girls favourites although they're still spooked by the VERY scary houses....the streets will be packed this evening of little ones trick or treating...
Happy Halloween to you all!
And a happy Monday!

Monday's madness...

hello November...hello Monday...hello readers...hello fabulous friends...

both girls are home sick today after telling me that "we feel fine!" last night to go out Trick or Treating!!!

Miss A spiked a fever last night of 101 and still has it...I shouldn't have taken them out. It was freezing cold...I wrapped them up in winter gear...but they still got over excited at the prospects of all that candy!
Miss J is coughing up a lung...

I went out last night at 10.30pm to pick up Homeopathic meds for both them and myself....as well as a bottle of Aloe and honey...
The first thing they asked for this morning was "can we have treats?"..."NO...not until you're better"...I tried to explain how sugar actually isn't very good for your body...especially when you're sick. (not sure they understood...little J was pretty gutted!)

I hope the Healthy Angel visits our house sometime today...as we really need her to make things better today.

I have 3 Once Upon a Time watercolours to finish today...what's being painted?
A Hedgehog, Bear and Winnie the Pooh...lets see if I get ANYTHING done today other than care for my sweet ladies...

Hope you're well.

before and after...

 hey everyone...this weekend is all about transformation into characters for adults and little ones...
I did this sketch the other day when I went to a playcentre with Jordan...she was happily crafting and sitting in one spot for about 20 minutes...so I quickly sketched her with some wax crayons...on coloured craft paper...sometimes even materials which are cheap and cheery work well....it was fun, I haven't played around with wax crayons for a while.

 it's amazing how hair can change a person's look...she has been asking for weeks for braids...so we've been practicing and I think I have finally mastered the technique...after 6 years!!!

 here's a close up, she looks cute with her BIG eyes and slick hair style.

Funny, I asked our eldest Miss A if she'd like them..."no thanks!" was her response...

Our girls want to be Bat-girl and a Bride again....remember this pic from last year?
Makes mummy happy because I don't have to go out and spend lots of $$$ on costumes.

What are you transforming into this weekend? And your kids?

Have a safe and FUN weekend...
spooky spooky....

the calm after the storm...

 HELLO everyone...thanks firstly to you all for all your support. I really do appreciate your stopping by and commenting. Last week was CRAZY as many of you know, and for the new readers today...we just got through another Mamas and Chicks Show last Friday (which I organise with a friend).I must have been on operation overload as my head today feels remarkably light with space to breathe...
The above picture is of my table which I have there...I sell my "Once Upon a Time" personalized prints...gifts cards and my new PINS and PATCHES.

 Our girls passed by with daddy after their school day and wanted their faces painted...

 the PINS were well received...one lady found the faces a little creepy!!! lol...all the cats sold,and a couple of Owls.

Trade Shows are exhausting...but priceless.There's no way I could ever get the word out and let alone SHOW my products to that many people in one day!

After a LONG day at the Show...we spent the weekend with friends baking Halloween cookies...fun...fun...fun.
I owe many "Quality" hours to our girls who were SO patient whilst I worked the many hours reponding to emails and organising the show last week...they deserve some special times...
I also am looking forward to seeing what you've been up to.

Until then...
Enjoy your Monday.

I have 5 minutes...

... to quickly upload a few images from this week just past...these are all the good things which have been happening...the Mamas and Chicks Show has been eating away at every given second...and now that I have 5 minutes before getting back to the grind...I thought I'd better make an appearance....it's been a LONG week...I have missed you ALL.
Here goes...our two girls...their wishes were to be:
on a WINDY Halloween night...

but before we made some glorious crafts...

and did loots of running under trees to encompass nature...

and all those brilliant Canadian yellows...

the girls loved our spidy web and rain....

I managed to squeeze in a Lady Bug ride...

and little miss A had picture day...

Things will be back to normal after to weekend...

We're packing 250 loot bags tomorrow evening...after having Thai takeout and a bottle of wine!(did I say bottle? I meant glass:-)

If I had time to visit your blog, I would know what you have been up to...I'm sorry...

What have you been upto?
