Gothic arch challenge-wee witches

Well I had a wonderful weekend away but more on that later... for now here is my entry for this weeks Gothic arch challenge which is 'wee witches'. Most kiddies love Halloween but my little witch (image from Lisa's altered art) don't look too happy ...lol Maybe she didn't get many treats... or maybe she's thinking she will have to share with her companions Mr bird and her faithful black cat so her candy won't stretch very far :D It could be however that she just doesn't feel too happy about wasting time having her photo taken when she could be out having fun trick 'a' treating... what do you think?

On my arch I used Cosmo Cricket Halloween goodies... just love the squirly rub-ons and the black chipboard letters...


and as all wee witches need their own little black cat companion... mine's a die cut with eyes that glow (didn't have bling small enough so opted for shiny silver pen).

More Halloween goodies to come this week leading up to the witching hour cos I had heaps of fun making some more to share with you last week... but you only get to see them one at a time or you will be here all day :D

Now then... my weekend away was totally fab... what do you get when you put together 4 kids on their best behaviour who decide to play together nicely (and that's a miracle on it's own) and 3 women who have shared a lifetime of memories and are the worlds best at being skitty with each other (in a nice way of course as only sisters can) ?

I'll tell you what you get... a totally wonderful couple of days filled with cupfuls of laughter, reminiscing and fun AND not a bit of alcohol in sight I may add... but then we really didn't need it I assure you :D We laughed 'till we thought we could laugh no more... only to start again to the point of hysterics... it ended up being painful but at the same time just what the doctor ordered. Even the kids were joining in...though most of the time they hadn't a clue what we were laughing at!!

The highlight of the weekend for me was a moment when I was laughing so hard I was forgetting to breathe... when my 10 yr old niece turned to me and said in an ever so serious voice "Auntie Christine you need to stop laughing so loud because you'll disturb the lady who lives in the flat below" "Oh is she an old Lady" says I... thinking that the noise would maybe be a bit much for her and feeling a tad guilty... to which the reply came "No but she's just passed her driving test" !!!!!!!! The result was to send me into another bout of spasmodic...gut wrenching laughter from which I thought I would never recover... Kids' don't you just love 'em. The only regret I have is that I forgot my camera because I was rushing around at the last minute to go away and missed so many fab opportunities for brill' photos... but I guess you can't have everything eh :D

Thanks for popping by... see you soon

hugs
