So It's A New Year?!

The holiday season passed so quickly this year, no sooner was it here and now it's gone! New Years Eve was a great night to let the hair down (after all the cooking was done) and just have fun, we had a house full of friends and family and it was definately one of the highlights of the holidays this year.

I made a full english roast dinner, chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes, carrots, corn, stuffing, yorkshire puddings and gravy and then served it buffet style and there was barely any left overs so I'm thinking it was enjoyed :)

I'm having a few energy issues which I'm trying to shake off, but I'm sure they'll resolve if I take my amantadine faithfully and pace myself. I also decided to set myself a few New Years resolutions this year, more about those later.

So how did everyone else's holidays go? Did you have fun, have any family get-togethers? Make any resolutions for the New Year?

OOoooohhhh It's The Little Black Box Time!!

It's that day again!!

Time for The Little Black Box and this month I'll actually not just be buying one for myself and the girls but I'll actually be in it!!

I'm so totally excited to have my ducky soaps and lollipops in the box and see how people like them, I hope they're enjoyed as much as I enjoy creating them. And then the added bonus of getting my own box, like wow there are some amazing stores in there this month and a guarantee of at least 17 items ... it's like getting a Christmas gift without it being Christmas! I really hope I get one of the hypnosis samples, having an interest in the subject I'd be really interested in trying one of those out.

In other news this weekend is going to be insane, I have my biggest set of orders since the summer, a possible 600+ lollipops in one weekend, plus about 2lbs of jewel candy. When you consider my average weekend is 150-250 lollipops, this is going to be a lot of work that is most definately going to spill over to Monday but thankfully I have my wonderful daughter to help me out and she'll earn lots of extra spending money this week which I have a feeling will go towards her new ipod and maybe even a new oufit!

Not wanting to sound ungrateful at all, but I'm really praying for a quiet weekend the following weekend as it's our annual Halloween party on Saturday and the thought of sleeping in VERY late on Sunday is just soooo appealing!!!
