It's been a great month for me! Not only did I get my castle finished but I also won two giveaways:
These goodies came from Donna Hager, in time for the Halloween party. Donna, thank you so much! Please hop over to Donna's blog and look at the wonderful bears that she also makes and sells at her web site.

Then this little package arrived from Jennifer:containing some fancy soaps. Reminds me that as of today there are only 49 days until Christmas! Better get shopping. Check out Jenn's other items at her etsy store as well as her blog

And finally the AllThingsMini Halloween swap arrived. Normally I am the last to receive my parcel and by the time everyone has their swap items, it's time to start the next swap.
So I'd better stop posting and get started.
I have a Christmas item, a toy for Christmas and one item that says autumn to me for Caterina's Christmas swap (due date Nov 29th) and something pertaining to Dicken's Christmas Carol to make for the next AllThingsMini swap (due date Nov 15th). It'll be nip & tuck as to whether I'll make it!!
And as if that weren't enough here's the November workshop at Minis4allThis is the third workshop I've signed up for without having time to complete one of them! Shame on me, eh!
