Good evening all, here is my attempt at getting photo's onto my blog!! I'm very keen but not very good!!!These are the wedding invitations we made[Yes I can hear you muttering poor dear, she thinks she's creative!!!] They look oodles better in real life!! and yes we are going to send them out.!! I will practice my computor photography, and hopefully be better soon.I do feel rather like a six year old showing mum my art efforts and she says "lovely dear" with a quiet smile!!! Thankyou soooo much for all the comments, I'm thrilled to bits to be "chatting" to all of you!! Thanks a million!!

EVERY CLOUD HAS A WARM LINING

Good evening everyone,Have you all had a lovely jubilee?It rained and rained on Sunday when I went to my sisters delightful cottage but it meant that we had lunch indoors and the log burning stove was lit!!! BLISS!!!We all had such a wonderful time and it was a great thrill to show my daughter around the cottage, my sister has immaculate taste,not a bit of tat to be seen!!!The views from all the windows are uninterrupted countryside, quite delightful and all the early summer flowers were just lovely,despite the rain.She has a little church around the corner that was so warm as the verger had put the heaters on,it was the loveliest atmosphere.Yesterday I went to the old walled garden nursery and the sun was shining!! we had tea and cake in amongst the plants,I purchased a Quaking grass,a climbing fushia and some gorgeous yellow buttercup like flowers, so I had a lovely time last evening popping them into the borders!!Today it was a trip to Elvaston castle for lunch and a wander round the GORGEOUS walled garden and I drooled over the double herbaceous border!!!DELIGHTFUL.I can enjoy myself even when teasets are not involved!!My spending urge was quenched with the purchase,on ,the way home from a garden centre I had not been to before ,I purchased, lavender coloured stock,scented dianthus called [a quick pause whilst I nip outside to check the name]Iced Gem[if I remember I will take a cutting to Gemma at the Button Tin]and some daisy flowers.I have had a lovely jubilee break and God Save The Queen [and a speedy recovery for Prince Philip]TTFN.

At almost midnight I have managed to post some pictures on Flickr!!!!

Finally managed to post a few pics onto Flickr!! feeling weary now and I've completely forgotten to make something to wear to work tomorrow that looks jubileeish!! OH DEAR!!Maybe I'll have time to make a quick corsage tomorrow morning .'night 'night.

A little bit about me and mine

Good evening my dears, I just thought I'd tell you a little about myself,don't worry it'll be brief!!I was born in March 1958, the eldest of 5 children ,we were poor but happy and my mum was [and still is] a proper mum, no thought for herself, only her family.Dad was a remote person and needed a drink to give him confidence,he was a gentleman and a skilled person whose talents could have been great but he lacked the confidence! The drink sent him to an early grave.I am earning more now than I have ever done as I was a stay at home mum for many years,my dear hubby takes care of all the bills so my money is quite disposable, hence my mad frenzy of collecting!!!I know I am VERY blessed and I thank the Good Lord daily!!!I have 3 beautiful daughters,Laura Jo,Alice May and Holly Ann and on the 6th of August 2012, I will have a son in law when Laura Jo is married!!!Just thought I'd share that with you all.Still keeping my fingers crossed for jubilee sunshine.BBFN Pam.
