Hi there well its nice to be home again, our Holiday was lovely, great break.
This is a wedding book I had an order for, I did one for her other daughter a few years ago, its just remembering which poems I put in hers so I don't duplicate.

I must say thats one of the good things about posting on your blog you have a record of everything.

We are also doing the photos for the wedding so I hope the weather picks up a bit,

Her colours are white with jade green bridesmaid dresses and burnt orange flowers.

This is one of the LOTV stamps coloured with copics

I'm going to enter this into the SCSC they want either Wedding or Anniversary.

Well off to bed now first day back at work tomorrow , and loads to do.
