~ Time and motivation are getting away from me. Christmas is fast approaching, and my pregnancy is preoccupying me at the moment. I'm trying to remind myself that I will be so pleased I kept up with this project come week 52! ~

Twinnies

They call themselves 'twinnies'. They wish that they actually were.

They conjure up games in their quirky make believe ways, like riding their magic skateboards that are invisible and can do anything and take them anywhere. Especially when we're in the car and they sit in the back row together and think up things to do with their magic skateboards.
Or travelling to the land of rainbows. a magical place that only they can go, where they speaak a language only they know.

A special bond I hope will never be broken.

~ Where oh where is the year going?! I've been busy but can't remember what it is I've been busy with! I've been finding it hard to keep up with all my little projects lately, I hope life slows down soon. Although I don't like my chances of that happening with Christmas around the corner.~
