Our Anniversary and a Huge thankyou To Nikki


Hi all. We enjoyed our 8th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday, had a lovely day and was spoilt rotten. John bought me lots of clothes from 'Fat Face' which was lovely cos I hardly ever clothes shop, I really dont enjoy it any more, must be getting old! Had some gorgeous Lillies and choccies too, and a beautiful gold and silver heart necklace, what a lucky lady!
We also had a parcel to unwrap from Nikki, which we left until the day of our anniversary as she popped a note in saying some gifts for us!

Heres the pic of all the wonderful goodies Nikki so kindly sent us. We had ordered the jar of fairy wings from her Etsy shop, and what a wonderful lady she is, she put in all these other minis for our houses!

Johns chuffed to bits as he has decided to now do his lab style room in the dungeon room of my haunted house. The room is very low so we will have to make the table inbetween 1 12th and 1 24th scale as one size is too large and the other too small! He'll make the table and then we will fill it with wizard/ science style jars, bottles and glass apparatus. Also we'd love to have Debie make us the Mad Scientist for it, but he may have to be a funny size to fit in the room!
Anyway, all these great bits and pieces will fit in so well in the room he is going to do so we couldnt be happier thankyou Nikki, your A STAR!
Holidays are proving to be so busy, we have been out most days, making the most of my mums beach hut by the sea, and in the new park near us thats all been done up. So no getting bored for the kiddies yet, though I have Mini making withdrawel symptoms!! Dont even get evenings as the older ones have been putting on DVDs for us all to watch each night!

Watched ' The Hangover' last night which was hilarious!
Hope your all having a great Summer. As much As i love it, I look forward to September when Ill make a start on some halloween goodies and also get back into the houses and other mini makes Ive started and need to finish!!!

Happy Anniversary!! A bunch of new clothes sounds lovely!! and the gifts from Nikki are wonderful as usual! I can't wait to see that mad scientist lab!! Maybe he could be normal size but just extremly hunched over from having to work in the short lab for so long!

Thanks everyone for your kind messages, we did have a lovely day.
John hopes to start on the lab table and shelves in September and we may need to order special glass to look the right size and not too big. Like the sound of the mad scientist bending over his table concocting things, and lots of bubbling liquid overspilling everywhere, oooh exciting to think of it, musnt take over, its not my project!!!!lol xx We are so grateful to Nikki :-)
Nikkis glass is just the perfect size so its such a great start for the table, and that crow is so cool to have perched overlooking all the spell making!!
