Rainbows and Me

I know you really didn't need another dose of rainbows, but I'm giving you one anyway :)

We had a rainbow party on the weekend with an ice cream table. We celebrated 6 birthdays, two birthday people couldn't make it. It was also the last time we will see a lot of our close family before our big trip including parents and siblings. Paul is leaving very soon, his bags are packed!

I had a little too much fun covering my home in rainbows!

 I thought I would leave you with a photo of me with long hair ;) I have a hair extension i can just clip in for days when I want to feel just a little happier about myself, I don't think I have ever mentioned it here but I have PCOS and it has made my hair very thin on top, some times I get very self conscious about it  and having the hair extension makes me feel a whole lot better even though it doesn't actually cover the problem.

I am taking it with me to the US, I figure that it is gonna be cold there and I can wear a beanie or hat to cover the bit I don't like and its not like we are going to bump into anyone we know. No one is going to be asking "since when did you get long hair??"

Rainbow Colour Christmas Stockings

So did you know that it is less than 100 days till Christmas??? And my brain has been thinking in rainbows lately so I thought why not make this Christmas all about a rainbow of colours. I am kinda thinking that each person might have a colour.... anyway I thought these would be cute to add to gifts.

 

Like by putting them onto the bow on the gift or I might attach them to cards with a little choccy treat. Blake might even like to give them to his friends at school with something fun inside. I will add a little white string on them so they can be hung on the tree too.

They have been a fun little something to make at quiet times or at school pickup and are making me feel like I am getting a start on feeling organised for Christmas.

Everything here is becoming "After New York we will do such and such" but our trip is almost half way between now and Christmas so getting a head start feels great.

If you too are freaking how fast the year is going Melissa Goodsell at One Crafty Muma (check her out in my sidebar) has started a series on getting organised for Christmas, go check it out :)
