My First US Candy Haul, Thanks Dan Lacey!

/
My first package arrived from my candy-swap penpal, Dan Lacey Painter of Pancakes.

I've already had to give up the sweetie watch to my son, but the rest is for me!
It's from The Mall of America too!

In case you are wondering, I sent Dan Fry's Turkish Delight, a Caramac, Kinder Bueno, Cadbury's Dairy Milk & something else, can't remember, posted two weeks back. Made me realise that our confectionary is more chocolate based than our American chums. Must be a European thing.

Dan also sent me another magnet of his art for my growing fridge art gallery, thanks!

NEW Niall Horan One Direction Vegemite Toast Art Artwork Auction Painting Lacey

Dan says,
"A painting of One Direction's Niall Horan with a slice of Vegemite covered toast on top of his head and a pigeon on his shoulder. 

Niall is frightened of both toast and pigeons, and also toilets (not pictured)."


Star Wars Disco Fever & The World of Kitsch Blogs for Tesco Magazine

I thought I'd seen everything Star Wars, even the fabled Christmas Special where Chewbacca visits his family & Grandad Wookie has a weird Earth, Wind & Fire choreographed dream.


But then I found this on YouTube. Check out 'Han's' beard near the end.


And make sure you click through to read my blog for Tesco Magazine. I manage to squeeze Star Wars into that too!
