New Challenge #212 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hi everyone,

Happy Halloween.
What is everyone up to for this holiday.
We were going to have a Spooky Halloween Party this year
but to be honest all i get is flash backs to last years one.
which was brilliant but soooooo much hard work for me.
so I've told my other half I'm not going through it again this year.
I'd much rather have a nice quiet one,
bearing in mind I will be at college till 9pm.
He can't be to disappointed though as he went out to his 
brother -in-laws gig last night all dressed up as Freddy Kruger,
and he got lots of complements on his costume.

But wishing everyone else a Happy Haunted Night
and hope you all have a wonderful time.

New Challenge #210 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hello,

Well I've taken some time out from the 
stresses of life and escaped to my Parents house.

My Brother has come over from Denmark with my
gorgeous Nephew so I've come to see them both.

Unfortunately when I came up my mum has gone into hospital
and isn't very well at the moment.
Me and my Brother sprung her out for the night
(with the Doctors permission of course)
so she could spend some time with her Grandson.
