Today I'll be arranging Violet's letter to Santa through the NSPCC.
I heard about their Santa Appeal last year and thought it was such a great way to help raise fund.
I don't want to ram Charity or Christmas down anyone's neck, but if you have a little person in your life who may still believe in Santa, then you might like to pop over to the NSPCC's website, where you'll be able to read all about it.
Now, onto a completely different subject - Ballet Shoes.
Since buying Violet her little ballet outfit last Friday, the ballet shoes have seemed welded to her feet. There have been tears when more appropriate footwear has been required i.e. wellies, and there was even a temper tantrum when I had the audacity to physically remove them from her feet in order to sew some elastic into them (yes, I got told off by the ballet teacher because Violet's shoes didn't have the required elastic straps to keep them on her feet - tut, tut).
Tears and tantrums aside, there is nothing cuter than my little girl dressed in her baby pink ballet outfit.
Want to see?
And, finally before I go, I'd just like to say a very big thank you for your fantastic comments about my pumpkin carving. I had such a great response from you all, which really made me smile. Pumpkin carving is addictive, I'll definitely be creating more next Halloween.
Have a lovely day.
