Helloo my dears!! Well the holiday is over and now it is back to reality and work and tidying up the holiday laundry and all those other things that need to be done! I have missed the blogging world and creating, but this is just a quickie post as I am teaching this afternoon and have things to prepare.
We had such a wonderful time and I promise a longer update with lots of lovely holiday photos (maybe tonight but if not, tomorrow for sure) but here is a little teaser.
It rained pretty much constantly and was only sunny on the first and last day so we wrapped up in our waterproofs and just got on with it! So much to do and so much to see and the best thing about it - a week of quality time with Mark - we get so little of it in our day to day lives and we just loved our time together.
St Ives was beyond beautiful - but as I say there will be more photos to come.
Oh and I have to say a big thank you for all your birthday wishes!! It seems such an age since I last blogged and so much has happened - the biggest news..........
is that........
we are engaged!!!! We knew we were going to do it on holiday so there we have it. I promise more details in my next post.
Ok I really should go - but I shall be back soon!
I hope you are all well and have had a wonderful week and I shall be catching up on all your blogs this week (although it may take me a while!)
that is a beautiful photo!!!!!! Oh and Congrats, Congrats, Congrats!!!!
you have the ring now??? We will need a photo of the ring!!

This thought just hit me like a brick: I cannot wait to see the dress you design for yourself!

Engaged? Well, stick it into gear, pronto! heheheehe. Yippee. Congrats... I am getting hives for you, but very very excited. Remember, I am your comittmentphobe friend. I love my boy (or old man, in my case), but, you just can't take Pipi down the aisle.... unless she is the one in giant springy shoes (yes, with springs in the soles) throwing flowers at people. And, no, I don't mean petals, but big honking flowers. Wanting to be sweet, she secretly wails them at people, hitting mean aunt Gertrude smack across the face with a big fat flower. Oops, I am getting carried away.. Anyhow.... I am delighted for you! I can be a flower girl?? I insist, no really, I insist... hahahaha.

Congratulations on your engagement! That's so exciting!!! Yes I agree with the other posters - a ring picture is definitely needed. Thankyou for your comments on my blog, I'm so glad that you like my work and that I'm a kind of role model. ~blushes~ I must say that I absolutely adore your work!! I hearted your etsy shop a while back.
Have a gorgeous day! xox
