Friday sharing

This Santa was created during a playday about 6 years ago!
We have reached the end of another busy and social week and are on the countdown to kids finishing school - Wednesday at 1pm. We are looking at a busy weekend of Bulls Xmas Parade, Mother-in-law's birthday, an afternoon of Touch rugby finals and my Mum's 70th birthday. Will share more on Monday.

I have still had time for fiction in the last week or so. Have read the first 5 Harry Potter books - never read them before and wasn't sure about them to start with but having read the 5th one which was a lot 'darker' I am now saving the last 2 for my holiday reading.

In the meantime, I am really enjoying this : an historical novel about a young woman's struggle to become a doctor during the Civil WarThese are the blogs I am currently visiting daily:

Plus I enjoy the occasional dip into the Journally ideas from Ali Edwards' December Daily and have newly discovered Reverb journal by Hope Wallace Karney

Woke at 5am this morning with my head full of ideas of what I could still accomplish before Xmas, and have started and almost finished a small stitchy project today, so stay tuned.

Have a happy weekend
