I was so pleased last week whilst doing my online grocery shopping to discover a Twilight advent calendar and of course ordered one immediately!  Then a couple of days ago when doing the next load of shopping I discovered more twilight things all a part of the Christmas range!  A mug with little mallows and a slab of chocolate and little zip up tins full of heart sweets!

My husband just shook his head and rolled his eyes especially when I told him that I think I need to get another cup set so I can keep one and drink out of the other one lol.  Definitely a big kid!  TFL!

Twilight ATC swap and Some Holiday Photos!

 This is going to be a very picture heavy post!:)

I recently took part in my first ATC swap and of course it just had to be a Twilight one!  This was also the first time I have ever made an ATC and although it was fun I don't think it is something I would get really into but just couldn't resist Twilight ones;). These are the fab ATC's that I got back!  Mine is the one on the bottom left :)

 And just a close up of mine :)

I have been slowly trying to go through the hundreds of photos I took over the holiday and then noticed that one of our camera cards was missing.  Of course it just happened to be the one with some of my favourite photos on too!!  So I phoned my poor mom to look around the house to see if we had forgotten it there but she couldn't find it either.  Luckily I had downloaded all the photos onto my moms computer before we left there anyway so she could have put them on a disc and sent them to me but at the last minute we found the card!  So anyway here are some photos of the kids from Ushaka marine world in Durban.

This dolphin they are posing with is Gambit who I used to go and see when I was a child!  He is the largest dolphin in any oceanarium in the world and apparently has surprised everyone at how old he is as they did not think dolphins lived that long!  We were actually really lucky because Paul used to go to school with the MD there so the kids got to see some extra feedings and things that they would not have normally seen.  I love the dolphin shows, dolphins are one of my favourite animals, I actually cried when I was watching the show lol!  I always wanted to be a trainer when I was younger they really are the most beautiful, amazing animals! :) :)

Christopher was thrilled because he was selected to be one of the passengers in the boat for the show they do where they get splashed and get to wave to the dolphins and feed them.  Kieran was gutted as he was the one who put his hand up and then they took Christopher but was very happy later on as he got chosen for a little part in the seal show :)

Then we went to see the penguins and the kids were thrilled because the penguins decided to follow the kids wherever they went so they had loads of fun walking along the glass and getting the penguins to swim up and down and around in circles wherever they put their hands.  Even when more people came along they only followed the kids and all swam to the edge of the glass and stayed there looking after the kids when we left.

The kids loved it and we didn't even get to go the the Wet and Wild water park as there was just so much at the oceanarium side so we had to go back for that the next day.  Both my sisters came with to that and that was the most fun I have had in years!  This was the kids by the time we arrived home ;)

Don't forget my giveaway on the post under this one, you still have until the 1 November :)

TFL!

Halloween Banner and Giveaway!!!

Hi!  Yes I have been a very bad blogger.... things have been non stop crazy since we have been back and although slightly slower now will probably still be crazy for the next 3 weeks or so!

My youngest son Christopher had his 8th birthday recently and one of the presents he has been wanting for a while now is a Build-a-Bear so we took him and his brother (who insisted on spending some of his birthday money on one too!) to build a bear.

This is them outside the Trafford centre with their "bears" inside their little houses.  These are the "bears" they chose, a wolf named Ferrari and a monkey named Cheeky :)

 I just love the shoes, especially the monkeys trainers :)

Ok now to share my latest project for Bo Bunny :)  This is a Halloween banner made from the super cute Whoo-ligans!  I just adore this range it is sooo cute and the papers are really versatile and can be used for any layouts! :)




 The saying is from the Whoo-ligans range and I had to use it because I thought it was adorable!  Of course when I first made this I didn't think about how hard it would be to photograph lol!  Here are a few more photos :)
