ME ON MONDAY.......

......and yes, I know it's Tuesday but this was me yesterday:


trying to work out the best way to cover boxes with wrapping paper, so that I could pack these:



this year's hand-knitted items (80 by today!) created by some our crafty volunteers, to be taken tomorrow to a Children's Home a bit further up the coast from us.

The weekend?......it was a getting (even more) into the Christmas spirit with Kirsty....

...at our annual Christmas Bazaar (where 4414 euros was raised), making plans for mum and dad's impending visit, visiting the mall to do some pre-birthday shopping and saying goodbye to my girl again..though she'll be back again in four weeks for Christmas :)

 Waving at SIAN, whose idea this meme was....wishing you all a good week!

 Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

    What lovely knitted gifts, and such a good cause. I bet your box wrapping skills are pretty good after all that!
