Ok, so I am seriously catching up from last year, as I'm scratching through all my old photo's I am finding more and more I never got a chance to post, note to self: be more organised in 2011!  So here goes some Halloween ones.  As Halloween is not really celebrated in South Africa we used our wine club evening, which we hosted in November, as a good excuse to play with all the fun props available!
