Happy 5th November everyone, we hope you're enjoying Bonfire Night safe and warm!
I'd like to start with an apology for this being much delayed since Halloween, this week for both of us has been ... well, a little exhausting.
However, the Transformation Station seemed to be a really big success! From what we could see, people enjoyed themselves, the kids looked amazing with their accessories and facepaints, and the UV photo booth was a hit!!!
We would like to thank everyone who came along, shared the experience with us and supported us throughout the build up, preparations and the event itself. There were too many occasions where we genuinely felt we weren't going to go ahead with it, what with disaster after disaster happening around every corner!
The morning saw the loss of our Gazebo after the unexpected winds took it (and me) up in the air ... barely missing a parked car and almost skipping up the road! It was scary and a massive loss for us both. Thank you so so much to The Dacre Rooms for stepping up and allowing us the space to use at incredibly short notice, we are more grateful than we can adequately express 🙏❤
We genuinely had lots of fun putting on the actual event itself. We count our blessings at the amazing people in this village and how strong we are as a unit for surviving the most testing of challenges.
Overall we managed to collect £45 for the PTA in donations, so thank you to the adults who got painted up, the accessories that were purchased (proving they were a fabulous idea, despite our amazing Rumbaleena doubting herself, please show her some much deserved love as her crafts are a huge delight, unique, fun and beautiful every single time!!) and the generous donations made for the cause. You guys are awesome! 🤘
We have all intention to do it again next year, and every year after if the interest is there!! With it being inevitably on a week day next time, we can begin earlier for the littles before the bigger kids join the festivities after school... what's your opinion? We'd love to know ❤
And finally, please, tell us how we did!! If you got photos you're happy to share, let's start a thread so we can see how you all looked ❤❤❤ (we know of a homemade station that was set up for an unsuspecting daddy to be transformed... so what else did your little ghouls get up to while terrifyingly transformed??) We're dying to hear!!
