Good Morning.

Lovely sunny morning here, I have had a really bad cough and cold this week and have felt really rough, but luckily I am feeling a little better today as I am off to the Murder Mystery tonight.

Good Afternoon,

I had a wonderful time on Saturday at my son's Wedding reception, though felt quite tired yesterday as it was late when we got home, but it was such fun seeing all his old School and University friends again as they are spread far and wide these days.  The girls loved it, dancing all night and really enjoying themselves.

Back to today where the sun is shining, the housework is done and I have a couple of hours before picking up Heidi and Lauren from school so I decided to share a card with you that I made at the end of last week, I think I am going to send this one to my cousin at Christmas.

Wedding Day

Good Afternoon

It is a beautiful day here, sunshine all the way and I hope you are having the same.  

I have a card and some photo's to share with you today.  My youngest son Dan got married last week in Florida to Mandy and their two daughters Heidi and Lauren were bridesmaids and these are some photo's he emailed me.  We didn't go for the wedding as it is such a long way and I don't like flying (I have to take tablets to calm me down even for a 2 hour flight) but they are back this week and are having a wedding reception the weekend after next for all their family and friends.

The card I am sharing is a Wedding card I made for them, (sorry about the photo but it is so difficult to take photo's of mainly white cards)
