Goooooood morning chummy’s
And yet another Sunday is upon us *sigh* If only the weekend would last just a teeny bit longer, I’m just about recharging the batteries when it’s coming to a end! However, I can’t grumble too much as I’ve had such a super few days…
Friday night was indeed my pamper night – candles, lotions & potions, fabulous smelly things & some much need manicuring. You know, the usual essentials ladies 😉 Saturday was spent being uber organised and wrapping Christmas pressies… I know, I know, mega early but I’ve such a busy few months ahead I need to get it sorted now or I’ll be a last minute walking stress ball… and considering Em’s was out birthday partying with her chums & Steve was working I took full avail of a quiet house to complete my mission!
As for today, well that’ll be spent tweaking a few things with Confetti & Curves that have been long overdue an update! I’ll also pop out for a refreshing walk along the beach, clear out my craft drawers for a few projects lined up & prepare a yummy family dinner followed by a few family board games. Sounds like fun but it can actually get quite heated with us being such a competitive bunch… Scrabble & Monopoly are the foundation of most tears and tantrums in this house! Wish me luck gals 😀 x

I enjoy reading your posts Karen! 🙂 Good thing you were able to spend time alone to prep the pressies! I’m not sure how I’m going to do that now since I’m giving birth this November and I’m either asleep, or awake but stuck at home. 😀
Lol on Monopoly and Scrabble! 😀

Yes, it was great being able to get all organised huni, I just can’t do the last minute thing – streeeesses the life out of me! lol Oh gee so close to Christmas! But hey that’s what online shopping is for, so just put your feet up and let the shopping come to you 😉 hehe How are you feeling?

Here in Manila, I shop directly at the store because there are lots of discounts and other promos not available online. I also love long walks to the makeup aisle. 😬
I’m on my 8th month and I can barely move. I can’t find the best position to sleep in. It’s so exhausting but I’ll surely miss this feeling of baby inside me so I’ll enjoy the last month. 😉
