Tags and more tags!

Been busy making tags. Have really enjoyed the process. Inspiration came from Pinterest - a jumping off point!









On a Personal Note -
Weather here has been phenomenally hot on some days and then up to 15 degrees cooler the next day. Christmas prep is fully underway. We are decorating the house this weekend and in 2 weeks we will be hosting our annual BBQ. I am going to do Mexican food this year. Just love the fresh flavours.
Earlier in the month was my daughter's birthday and we celebrated in style with a Thai banquet. Consequently discovered two new recipes that will now join the weeknight repetoire - Sticky pork on broccolini and matarbarak (aromatic meat filled roti parcels).
The weight loss is coming along well and I am not having a lot of problems eating a varied diet. Red meat is still tricky (fish and chicken are fine) but I am on iron supplements so not too worried.

Hope all is well in your part of the world.

Happy Crafting!
Cheers

Halloween Display

My Daughter busied her creative fingers to create a Halloween display from her Sylvanian families collection. Without further ado here are some photos!

The windows glowed red from cellophane and battery operated tealights.
The house decals are a Stampin' Up Halloween stamp set and the cats are a cheery Lynn die.




The Players - Witch, Ghost, Baby Pumpkin, Mummy, Angel, Pirate

Handmade candy


The teeny loot bags


I am so proud of her ingenuity! I would like to hint for a Christmas display but I will let her take a well-earned break first!

Happy Crafting!
Cheers
