Day Forty-Seven - The Grand Finale!!!

THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!! I still can't believe how much fun this whole forty-something days has been. Thank you so much for getting involved, following my blog, buying hoops (which are still for sale!!) I never imagined that this whole hooping for Lent thing would take off like it has and I've loved every minute of it. I actually felt a bit lost today without my kitchen hooping ritual so I've just had a sneaky midnight hooping session whilst Daisy and Corgi are sleeping! 

Extra special thanks to everyone who took part in this final *Easter* video ~ Paul & Kathy for their beautiful garden, fabulous party and great food, the Zammits for their sheer enthusiasm, energy and craziness, my dear Daddy for filming and uploading this clip, Corgi for not shouting at me for scraping the paint off the kitchen wall and ceiling with my pink hoop (!), Daisy for her patience and sitting in her bumbo/walker everyday whilst I hooped for you guys, Tommy Dee for suggesting the blog. There's so many more people to mention but I'll stop there. I really hope you've enjoyed all the hooping madness and I'm thrilled it's inspired lots of you to pick up a hoop and start hooping!!! Keep it up ~ let's all be hoopy loopy-tastic this summer :-D Lots of love from Daisy & I xxxxx

Day Forty-Two ~ Life Is A Highway

Hello Hooping Folk! How are you all? We have been basking in glorious sunshine here in Wales today so we thought hooping in the park was appropriate! This is a special tune for my little cousin Sarah who is not so little anymore as she is 18 Today!! Happy Birthday Sarah :-D xxx

If any of you lovely lot would like to buy a hula-hoop for yourselves/ a friend/ a family member/ other half/ random stranger in the street, maybe for Christmas (or sooner as Christmas is quite a long way away!) then look no further...

Prices range from £12-£15 depending on colour/sparkle ~ Get in touch and I'll make to order :-) Maybe we should have a 'hooping party' where we can all show off our new skills??? Who's up for it? x x x

Days Thirty-Two & Thirty-Three ~ Jump!!

This was sooo much fun and really really difficult (as you can tell by the number of times I dropped my hoop!!) Sorry for the awful editing but I had to make the video shorter so I could upload it :-) I hope you've all been enjoying yourselves in the sunshine ~ it has been absolutely *blooming gorgeous* here in Mid-Wales and after some fun at Builth Wells Sports Centre we spent the afternoon hooping in the garden with the crazy Zammit family...video to follow!! x x x

Day Thirty-One ~ Let's Get It On

Oh what a beautiful day it's been here in Mid-Wales!! Daisy and I have been out most of the day enjoying the sunshine but poor little mite is teething and is very restless this evening :-( I'm sorry she's not in this video Katie but she's fast asleep in the other room with her Daddy! I can't believe it's Day 31 already, I'm going to miss my daily hooping when Lent is over. I've uploaded so many videos that BT are emailing me and telling me that I'm nearing the upper limit of our 'fair usage' broadband package!! Oopsy Daisy x x x

Days Twenty-Nine & Thirty ~ I Like To Move It
