Busy week ahead ...

I have a very busy week ahead.  Have to get a friend of mine to Howick Hospital tomorrow morning by 6.30 which by my standards is an obscene time!!!  I then have a wedding expo to on Saturday which needs a load of preparation, etc. etc. etc.  I have a new maid  to train and guests leaving in the morning so not too sure if there are enough hours in the day so will be back sometime soon .......

Another wedding

A firend of mine is getting married next month and asked me to do her invitations and, between us, this is what we came up with -


Her colours are cream, pink and green and she wanted everything very plain as it's a morning wedding.  The base is pink shimmer cardstock with a green layer on top.  On top of that I used cream paper which I stamped.  I overlaid everything with vellum which had pink printing.  The whole thing was finished with green flat-backed pearls.

I also did her unity candles -


and her wedding guest book which I made from scratch -

This was a challenge but I really enjoyed it and thank goodness for YouTube and their tutorials!!!

Back again!

Our Telkom cables were stolen over a month ago so we've had no internet and no landlines.  We've now gone with wireless internet but still don't have a landline and this is how it's likely to be for a good long time.

During the time we've been 'down', there's been much excitement with snow over large portions of the KZN interior.  We woke up one morning to white mountains around the house which were beautiful.


Nottingham Road and Mooi River had much more snow than we did here but it was still beautiful nonetheless.
