Last Day of Blogtoberfest! Love Fridays....

First of all I want to thank all the peeps out there who have made me feel welcome to Blogland!!! All the people who have read my blog and left me comments, thanks for your effort!
I have really enjoyed Blogging thus far, although I haven't completed too many projects it has been fun reading all the blogs and seeing what great things other crafty people accomplish each day!

Today is the last day of Blogtober fest so here is a quick glimpse of what I have done this month! I bought a new sewing machine, reorganised the backroom and set up the sewing desk..


I made my first card using my glue gun and vintage buttons. I realised I really like making cards...


We had two uninvited guests during Blogtober! Two Blue Tongue Lizards who had to be relocated so the puppies wouldn't eat them! Oh alright, yes they scared me?? I dislike scaly reptiles OK!


Using some remnants from Spotlight I made a little mat for my repainted cabinet!


I posted this string Doll for Vintage Thursday and I think she creeped out alot of people!!! I also picked up the craft book in the background at the local market!



I won my first ever prize! This Gingerbreadman Potholder specially made for Blogtoberfest by the very talented Hoppo Bumpo!





I actually did quite abit of baking, these Fairy Cupcakes, I also made scones and cakes for my weekend visitors!
That is just a few things I posted this month!
A big thanks to Big Cats Emporium for Blogtoberfest, it has been great to find and read more blogs and make bloggy friends!
Oh I nearly forgot why I Love Friday? It's the last day of Blogtoberfest!
And if a miss a post I won't be stressing out! He! He!

Uninvited Visitors!! Blogtoberfest Day 11.....




EEEEKKKK!!!!! Yesterday my chihuahua was barking outside so I went to investigate! Usually he barks at air, I think he suffers from little dog syndrome. But I saw a scaly head pop up and basically freaked out. So then the labrador went for a look. I called the dogs inside and quickly closed the door!

Of course this would happen when Mr S wasn't home so I called him on his mobile and he said he was on his way home. Mr S arrived home and called Wildlife and was told not to worry it would move on in a few hours! Meanwhile watching from the window we realised there was 2 Lizards! This morning we got up and looked out the window to see them still there and basking in the sunlight! I told Mr S to call someone asap, we pay the mortgage not these reptiles so they need to leave! Finally we have Badger Rescue 1800 BADGER, on their way to catch the lizards and relocate them in the bush.

I hate creepy crawlies and reptiles and dogs are very inquisitive so they need to go before the dogs eat them. Plus I dont want the dogs to get hurt either.

And to top things off, yesterday when we realised there were 2 Lizards. One was biting the other and they were humping! Apparently its mating season. Now I think I will need therapy!
Since I posted the Badger volunteer and his kids came out and found one of the lizards, he said the other one has probably left already! He even commented that this lizard was a big one. He said it is a Blue Tongue. His kids werent scared of the lizard either but Mr S and I were standing right back because they still creep me out!
Our house is situated across the road from a creek so he said they have probably wandered from the creek and lost their way, hence deciding to hide out in a pipe in our back yard! Now we are going to demolish the pipe and the surrounding concrete so nothing invites and reptiles to our yard!
