Halloween

Not a overly interesting post but thought I would share be for everything gets ruined.Getting ready for Halloween today. Deep clean the house and put the decorations up. Unfortunaltly I have the highest ceilings and even with a step ladder I can't reach them so the decorations only go as high as I can reach. I have done some nails I didn't like the 1st ones so I took them off and started again. And dressed Harry my dog up :)
Getting there with a real happy day.

Smelly stuff

I was having a little read of leonas blog the other day and I saw that she had some smelly soy tarts. They looked great so I went over to etsy maryjoscents checked them out. Unfortunately all the smells that were on there sounded incredible and I didn't have enough money to get them all. I narrowed it down to 3 sets. Then could only get two. Bare with me this is going somewhere. I chose the Christmas pack,12 lovely smelly christmasy waxy burning tarts and peaches and cream. I couldn't afford the honeysuckle hearts with rose petles in. Booooo. I sent my orede of and with in a few hours I had the nicest message from the shop owner. Saying not only has she thrown in a few freebies that she had just made for Halloween but as she could see I had likes the honeysuckle hearts so She threw them in as well. How nice is that! Messages when back and forth for a bit and this woman is lovely. Plesas go and have a little look at her shop. You won't be disappointed

Happy day

Saltrum

I have had a really bad week. My depression has got to the point were I can't work for a while. Sucks. I have been put back up on higher medication and want to sleep all day every day. But having a family this isn't something I can do. So to try and cheer myself up I come here. 

Saltrum. This has always been a special place for me. I use to come here with my grandparents when I was very little. I always remember taking my bike, riding half way down and making my grandad carry me and my bike home, then having banana and honey sandwiches mad by my gran. Yum. It is really nice being able to walk around with my dog Harry, crunch the leaves squelch in the mud and get away from everything. It is only about a 15 Minuit drive from my house but when your in the woods it feels like your a million miles away. It brings back such good memory's so always feel a bit better after coming here. 

Any one else have happy places? 

Think about them bet they make you smile. 

Sad day. 

this was a really nice bench looking out over the water couldn't get a better picture because there was a massive sign saying warning wasp nest!

My friends art

The other day I put up a pic of a star wars drawing my friend did. I asked if I could have a few more drawings she has done because I don't think she realises how good she is and I want every one to be able to see her amazing art. 

She was happy to do this. So abit about her. Her name is melody. Everyone calls her Mell. Mell is 27 and lives in Plymouth. She has a family and a wife who makes cute crochet animals. Mell is quite quiet un till you get to know her. Then she is a fun and happy person who loves every thing to do with batman. Just giving you a little bit about her because I think every artist has to have some mystery behind them. 

Hope you like the art.

Happy day.

Halloween nails

My friends art

This is just a little bit about my friend. She is a self taught artist and for my boyfriends birthday I asked her to draw me a Star Wars picture this is what she came up with.
