I’m not fan of the deceased King of Pop, as evidenced in this review in terms of copy and photos, but I had good fun taking photos of this figure.

Black Lace arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to rip open the shipper to see if this one was as wonderful as the first two. I was not disappointed.

by Eleanor de Bruin Haba has released three new games, just in time for a bit of Boxing Day fun. Wicca Herbs and Spider Legs is a totally wicked game, where two to four players take the part of witches, collecting all the ingredients they need for a mysterious potion.

Last night my neighbourhood had a luminaria display and it made for a lovely if a little chilly walk But that was the perfect excuse to warm up with some Christmas pies when we got home………….mmmmmmmmmm God I love Christmas, it’s the most yummy time of the year…………. Happy Holidays everyone!!! Hope Santa brings you everything you asked for………..
