Wrapping Stations Are Go!

This time next week we will have passed Christmas and be heading into the new year... How scary is that to think that we are so close to 2025, and that Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye?! 
Today I had to get a few things done around the house, and there will be more cleaning to do tomorrow, but there was one thing that I simply HAD to get done before Wednesday... I needed to get my wrapping done, and this little Christmas elf needed a bit of help... I headed to the one place on Earth I knew they could get it done... 

Santa's Workshop - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - has been taken over by the beary merry teddies - from hive -and I've asked them to help me complete my Wrapping Day tasks... A LOT of packages to wrap...Not enough time to get them all done...

Santa's Favourite Ho Ho Ho

It's been a long day and tomorrow will only be worse, but I'm so glad it's getting closer to Christmas and getting home to see the hubby had put the tree up and added the lights made me feel even more festive... 
Though this time of year I feel like an over worked elf in a yucky retail setting, though instead of being a worker elfI got a promotion this year, and became a slightly more important worker elf... 

The naughty little elf that I am, is so far down the naughty list that she has to find a way to boost herself back up. As a slightly more important elf, there is a sure fire way, Santa knows where all the naughty girls are, and there have been a few that taught me a few little tricks as a way to make sure Santa knows I can be good at certain things... 
Bring Santa a tankard of ale, and put on a little show while he relaxes before his big day... Even better if you wait until Mrs Claus has gone to bed and you dress yourself in ribbons and step up onto the Holiday Pole Stage - from MadPea at the current round of ACCESS until January 8th - to shake yourself off the naughty list...

Early Halloween Lunchings

Weekends are normally busy affairs, and I tend to find myself working either Saturday or Sunday. This weekend though because I have been off sick and because there is a local marathon taking place I cant leave my house, so I'm happy at home and planning on making a happy weekend of it for myself...
I'm going to take a few pictures, read some more of the extremely dark smut that I just started and make sure I get something delicious to eat... 

I decided to take the time to test out some interestingly seasonal food recipes... Since we are nearing the Halloween season, and there are so many delicious ideas starting something simple... Spooky Grilled Cheese and a mug of Tomato soup - from Junk Food - is an easy yet delicious way to start off... I might even have a side dish of some pickled eyeballs. I've been pickling them in a refurbished gumball machine, turning it into a Spooky Eyeball Machine - a creation from MadPea at the current round of Equal10 until October 5th - for ease of serving... I've also been told that to make the witches brews of Halloween taste better, it's a good idea to make sure I'm used to the poisons and other ingredients before the big day comes... I've heard adding them to tomato soup can hide the taste...

Sandwiches & Mug: Junk Food - Spooky Grilled Cheese & Soup

Mummy's Lil' Trick or Treaters

We're getting closer and closer to the day that the kids are allowed to wander the streets begging for candy. It's not something that we really do here in the Netherlands, although Halloween is slowly becoming more and more popular, but I can't help but get into the Halloween spirit and feel lucky that I'm able to do more Halloweenie stuff in SL... 
Though for my 31 days of Halloween look today I've been lumbered with a rather arduous task of taking the streets kids out Trick or Treating... I'm a Mummy that's been made to be a mummy to all of the little monsters... 

I'm going to wander along the Trick-n-Treat Lane - a backdrop from Synnergy, that's now become Synnergy.Tavis - with an army of monstrous kids of different ages and sizes, wearing all manner of different costumes; some scary others not, and we are going to have a great time collecting candy... Even the family pets got a chance to come out for a little Trick or Treating... As their "Mummy" minder though I've laid down the rule that I get at least one treat from each of the kids tonight... I wonder what goodies I'll be able to feed my Cauldron Creature - from Evil Baby - when I steal from their Pumpkin Pails - from Junk Food.
