Christmas 2014

[Relle]

Ok, I did a google and some say they taste bad, some say they have toxins in them and some say the government frowns upon it. I have no idea.

 

[Hazel]

Too bad. I like crab salad.

 

[Relle]

21 - that's 21 weeks, in case you didn't get it.

 

[Hazel]

Awww! That's so cute.

21 - I felt a momentary dizziness at the thought but I've now recovered. Actually, I'm stressing right now about Zombiefest and Halloween. I absolutely have got to get more batches done because it's getting down to the wire.

 

[Relle]

What's zombiefest ? and I don't have to worry about Halloween :clap:.

 

[CaraBou]

What, not worry about Halloween?? Uh oh, now you really need to watch your back, the zombies are coming to get you! They'll find you even Down Under!

 

[Relle]

Halloween, is not that big here, not our thing.

 

[Hazel]

Carabou - I love the pic! Where did you get it?

Relle - Zombie walks - people dress up as zombies to raise money, food or clothing for charity, etc. List of Zombie events: http://deathbyzombie.com/?pc=walks

Ooh! There is even one in Sydney. You should go. http://www.sydneyzombiewalk.com/about

Anyway, the walk has expanded so now there are vendors, food (but not brains), etc. The best thing about Zombiefest is I don't have to worry about how I'll look. There will be dozens of people who will look worse than me.

Thanks for the link Hazel. I think I remember now seeing it on the news one year. It's in the city, so probably won't go - I might not need any makeup if I did :razz:.

 

[Hazel]

You're welcome! You've got a while yet to decide.

19 weeks and 6 days.

Christmas Beetle - they come out here at Christmas, very iridescent.

 

[Hazel]

It looks kind of like what is called a Japanese beetle here.

19 weeks - I'd better get busy.

 

[CaraBou]

That is indeed a festive beetle. Poor little guy would freeze his hiney in AK, glad he has a warmer place to open his presents.

Looks like a Japanese beetle here also. I have some shows coming up, I need to get the Holiday scent bars out and online!! Yikes!

We have a japanese beetle that attacks us at break at work. Dive bombs and all...

 

[Hazel]

Ooh...a kamikaze beetle. I'm lucky, I guess. They just hang around on the plants and don't seem interested in flying. Actually, I haven't seen any this year.

 

[jules92207]

You are lucky, that little monster has a death wish let me tell ya. I go out every day carrying a fly swat. One of these days... :sly:

 

[Relle]

19 weeks even. Made my first Christmas soap yesterday.
