... an amazing day. My first experience of a cruise ship. P&O's cruise ship Aurora. I went, with my bro, sis-in-law and niece to visit my youngest nephew while he was in port before departing to the Caribbean for Christmas. He'd just docked on return from a Baltic cruise so had a few hours off. We delivered his Christmas presents and he gave us a tour of the ship. Lunch was had on the ship and the food was wonderful. The ship is amazing. It's not the biggest of P&Os fleet, by any means but it's classic and looked extra good all dressed for Christmas. We had to be off the ship by 3pm but it was quite an experience and a few hours I shall remember for a long time. He took us backstage to show us the dressing rooms and the general backstage area full of props and costumes. Even got to stand on the stage looking into the auditorium. He then took us round the rest of the ship. We'd happily have stowed away but we'd had to hand our passports in before we boarded so they'd have noticed we'd not returned for them *ROFL* Lots of photos ......

Crafty stuff ....
The Tuesday following the All Counties Craft Challenge weekend in Godalming I did another workshop with Helen of Craft Bunnies. She was leading us through the making of a calendar using an Ikea photo frame. I loved it. I'm thinking I may make some more but, then again - lol! Once again, with Helen, it was all Stampin' Up products used - apart from the frame and the book rings.

At this point, my crafting for the year is nearly at an end. Just one more crafty day left in November to note and it's all done until 2017 although I think I've missed one of Clair's. I'll have to check ....
Greta is having a 'playday' this week but not sure there'll be much done by way of crafting. More like chatting and laughing ending up with a meal.There's still plenty of other 'stuff' before I'm done with 2016 though *grin*
