Trick or Treat!!

Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain!!

Have fun trick or treating....but remember to be safe!!

This year is James' first Halloween and as per tradition we took the kids out trick or treating!! The kids dressed up as Pirates again...in their old outfits from 2007...though Mike couldnt find his top...and we put James in some of my fire fighter baby clothes...he was a funky little fire dude...

Catering Plus Maggie Comp - Innovative Table Setting

Well after my results at the Regional and National Culinary Fare, my lecutrer Gina Harrap discovered a new competition - this time in a Catering Magazine....and decided I should enter it...but knowing I had a heavy work load...she decide it was probably best not to add more stress onto me - However that changed when she told me and I jumped up and down begging to do it...



Low and Behold to me...Gina had already thought of a theme...and I was able to work with it and get extremely excited about - not bad table setting that came out, and we only spent about $50 on it...! Better than the $400+ I spent on the Culinary Fare's Table setting!!



Awaiting results...which wont be till at least the end of the year if not Jan next year.....I dont hold my hopes to high on winning this one...but hey it gets my name out there...

ONE SERIOUSLY BIG FAT UPDATE......!!

Armageddon 2009

So I went to my first Armageddon Expo!!! My BIL goes to it EVERY year with his Best Friend....and my Aunty in Australia went to the one in Melbourne and got to meet/see SETH GREEN....I was completely jealous.....and for some reason, I think the radio must have had him on or something....but I looked up the casting guest list for this year and there he was....he was going to be at the Auckland one...



A quick email to my BIL and some light begging I was coming along with them...Im not into comic books and all this sci fi stuff - I tell you it was interesting seeing the number of people who dress up...but an hour and half wait in line to get in and 2 mins of seeing Seth Green I was happy lol...BUT there was two speaking with him....and I got to spend an hour drooling over him!! I was purely there for Seth Green....as a Buffy and Angel fan....!! And I use to like Greg the Bunny...!



I tell you there are some ODD people out there when it comes to celebs....the ones who scream HAVE MY BABIES.... MARRY ME!!! And those who give away things like a key to their necklace locket....and want to hug him and shake his hand and touch his hair....though I did love his every answer to everything thing that was to do with them....and it was a great laugh...



Much thanks goes out to my niece....the little trooper she is!! So much like her father...but she wanted to go home and have lunch....she sat through the whole question thing with Seth Green so Aunty could get her monies worth!! lol

Colourbok Survery Prizes

I won some prizes from Colourbok from completing a couple of their surveys a while back....I believe it was August and September....I was a bit disappointed that I got a double up in the kits....I know some of the winners werent too fussed over this....some were a bit disappointed...Id hate to think that any future winners may end up getting more than just double ups....

I ended up sending one kit down to my friend Kerri West in Christchurch to play with....so now we get to share with other what we come up with...Im going to use my kit to make a memorial album for my God Family....as my God Mother has just resently lost her father.....

RIP Uncle Jack Nicholls

RIP Uncle Jack - May you rest now with your loving wife Lois.....

"I Once Was Blind But Now I See....."



My love and thoughts go out to my Cousins/God Family....may the Lord and Lady guide you through this time of your life's journey....
