Me on a Monday

Here I am joining in with Sian’s Me on a Monday for the first time!DSC_7915

It was a spooky, pumpkin carving sort of weekend.  A gathering of sweet things to offer any trick or treaters – not one ghostly person came!  (Not so many young children in our street now, they’ve all grown up!)  But the Halloween Strictly Come Dancing made up for it, love the costumes, the glitter and the glamour!  Do you like my doodled pumpkin?  Thanks to Deb for the inspiration!

It was a painty sort of weekend - we finished off painting my new craft room. We have decorated Nicholas’s old bedroom, and it looks fab!  Now I need to sort out furniture, shelving etc.  More on this later!

And it was saying goodbye and bon voyage to daughter Lucy, who flew off to America for a 2 week business trip.  I’m missing her already!

How was your weekend?

Brilliant designs on your pumpkin! You've made a lovely job of it. Did you enjoy it? Hoping your DD is in touch soon - always hard when they fly off into the ether, isn't it; I often wonder how my Mum managed when it might be ten days before she got a letter from me saying I was OK and had arrived safely! Hoping you have a lovely week ...

Ah! Your pumpkin is fantastic, Linda! Wasn't it so much fun to do? Our former neighborhood didn't have trick-or-treaters, but the new neighborhood made up for it! We had a steady stream of little goblins for a few hours Saturday night. :o)

I do like your doodled pumpkin - very nice & the carved one is quite good. We got about 39 kids Halloween night - the weather was a factor, but 39 is up over last year & our street has lots of little kids, maybe too little for the bad weather. Hope you have a great week & I look forward to see future posts of your craft room.

I do like your doodled pumkin, the carved one is pretty stylish as well. Glad you had a good weekend and it's lovely to have you 'join the club' too.

Love both of your pumpkins! Hope your daughter is going somewhere interesting, and has some time to enjoy it!

great pumpkin art and yes the Strictly costumes were amazing - I was finding it hard to remember the faces behind that make-up

Good to see you joining Me on Monday. Lovely pumpkins! I hope your daughter gets to do some sightseeing on her business trip.

Linda: I'm so sorry it's such a late wave from me to welcome you to your first Monday. It looks as though you've had lots of other waves, though :) Enjoy the rest of your week

How lovely to see you waving on a Monday. Technology failed me this week so I didn't take part. Just catching up now. You'd be welcome at my classes any time.

Great halloween decorations Linda. Both of your pumpkins look fabby :-) . We don't see decorated pumpkins much at all here in NZ - sadly it is not a tradition for us, Maybe I should do it anyway!
