WOYWW - a bit early ...... The Big 50 ;-)

As some of you may realise, I am approaching the Big 50!  I do this in a positive frame of mind ;-)

When I turned 25, I stressed out something shocking!  A quarter of a century and what had I done with my life?  

Now here I am, 50 and I am very happy with what I have done with my life!  I have a home and my health and a lot to be thankful for.


I am happily married to my best friend, have a family that I get on with (for the most part ;-) ) and have a small group of close friends that, even though we may not see each other as often as we would like, I cherish whatever time we can spend together.

We are going to have a party to celebrate this milestone and I spent the weekend making up the invitations.  Ofcourse, they never go to plan and never look like you imagined them in your mind's eye, but I think I am happy with what I eventually came up with.



Now I can start stressing about the food and ofcourse the really important one ...... what am I going to wear?

Blog Candy !!!

Sue from a consuming passion has some beautiful blog candy!

I quote from Sue's page:

I'm so pleased with my new look blog page. So what about you, would you like something that is taylor made for you? I'd like to offer one person an idividual blog page - like mine but to your design........interested?



Marcia of MarciaJaneDesign.blogspot.com will help you get a blog page you'll love.


Now I also know that lots of you are much more talented than me and very capable of your own blog designs. So what about this 9.5" x 7.5" Calico gift bag that I have full of stamps, embellishments and all sorts of goodies.

Pop over to Sue's blog and check out the 'official bits'.  While you are there, stay a while and have a browse - it is a feast for the eyes ;-)

Spring has Sprung

It was a lovely sight today - the blossoms seemed to all pop up overnight (not quite, but you know what I mean LOL)




Pity about the white balance being wrong !!! 
that's what I get for not checking the camera before taking shots!
