WHAT A BUSY WEEKEND!

Wow what a busy weekend straight after a huge Retreat weekend!

Friday night DH and the girls and I went to my sister's for a homecoming/happy engagement/lamb roast for my gorgeous nephew Scott who proposed to Poppy when they were travelling America and Mexico - Welcome to the family Poppy - you are a very special part of our family - such a beautiful artistic girl - We love you both and wish you every happiness!

WHAT FUN WE HAD LAST NIGHT

LIFE

As I was walking this morning I was thinking how blessed I am to have my beautiful girls, my Dh, my stepson and his girlfriend and all my special family and friends in my life. And how sometimes I just take this life for granted, as we all do at some stage - enjoy each and every opportunity/challenge life throws your way - it is an experience and with it comes knowledge, understanding, friendship (from the most unusual places ) love and compassion.

If you are reading my blog, please hug your loved ones tightly and tell them you love them -

do whatever you can for someone in need this week - please for me.

Thanks

Hugs

some new layouts completed at the Imagination Factory Retreat this weekend
