What a Star ...

I adore the digi scrapbooking stuff made by Sharon of Artistic Musings :O) The journalling reads ... You were just a star when we went to Egypt in March. You swam in the pool each afternoon and loved every minute of it. You enjoyed it so much you asked if you could come back again next year :O) March 2007.

Spring Wedding

I've been listening to my ipod whilst messing about in Microsoft Powerpoint (LO above) and one of my favourite little known Bee Gee songs has just been playing ~ Wedding Day. I love it and the words sum me & Andrew up perfectly. These are the lyrics ...

We both acknowledge what we came here for

We take each other and walk through the open door

From the first time that I saw you

To the way you look tonight

I was shaken by your spirit

I was blinded by your light

And the world that I used to see is gone without a trace

Replaced by your eyes and the smile upon your face

And I will not turn away

'Cause you might disappear

I was haunted by your heart

And I felt that you were here

And funny when the time is right

When lightning strikes

You're not alone

Baby, I will pray for you

my whole life through

This day

We'll be together

Husband and wife

Now and forever

The rest of our lives

Well, take me to Heaven

Take me tonight

There is nothing words can say

On this our wedding day

Oh, now is the hour,

now is the sowing of the seed

I will take tomorrow

I will lay it at your feet

And the two of us escape from the sadness of the world

From the thunder and the darkness

From the hunger and the hurt

You know I will remember well

the mission bell

That rings your name

And baby there could never be

A memory like you

We'll be together

Husband and wife

Now and forever

Lovers for life

Well, take me to Heaven

Take me tonight

There is nothing words can say

On this our wedding day

This is my pledge to you

I will follow through to the end

And we will find another plane

We'll be home again

And tonight I'm going to find true love, true love

We'll be together

Husband and wife

Now and forever

Lovers for life

Well, take me to Heaven

Take me tonight

There is nothing words can say

On this our wedding day

This our wedding day

It's our 23rd wedding anniversary on the last day of June ~ wow!! When we first got married it seemed we would be together forever and that was a very long time. Now forever doesn't seem long enough. I love you sweetie, with all my heart xXx

Blog Candy

Ooooo I've had a revamp!! No it wasn't painful ~ lol! I have a new blog LO and I've changed the name from Bridget Jones to Vanda's Ramblings!! I though Ramblings was quite a good play on words as it is me rambling on about nothing AND!!! me rambling through the countryside {grin}.

One of my virtual friends Chris sent me a parcel today full of loveliness (thank you Chris :O)) I was lucky enough to be one of her RAK (Random Act of Kindness) blog candy winners :O) The package was waiting for me when I got home and it's made my day :O) Now why would I have taken a photo of swim wear hanging from the washing line? Well I'll tell you :O) I was sat at the computer blogging when there was all this commotion and squealing coming from outside. Liam had Lisa's soaking wet bikini hitting her with it and Lisa had Liam's soaking wet trunks hitting him back. The pair of them are wet through!!! ROFL, what are they like??? I wasn't quick enough to get an action shot so I took one of the washing as evidence ~ lol! Just been outside with my camera, I wanted to take a photo of the cherry tree before the birds eat all the fruit :O) This is the most cherries we've had so far ~ wow!! The pansies in my old watering can ... The first apple ... The clematis ... My lavender ... The curry plant in the front garden which smells seriously of curry ... and this one I don't know the name of ... And the view through the hole in the gate :O) This is my 3191 photo. It's some of the contents of Elena's school bag which she has left on the settee.

Grateful

My layout for 'The Secret'. Just a few of the things I'm grateful for :O)

Red Nose Day ~ 16th March

I won't be here for Red Nose Day, I hope they raise lots of money. We've bought a red nose & sent away for the ears from Walkers crisps. I took some photos of Elena posing ~ I think she looks really funny *lol*.

Maximum Comfort

Me & Max, my little godson, at the Dairyman's Daughter, Arreton last Sunday evening. We all went out for a meal the night after the party and had a great time talking & laughing. Max was a little sweetheart as usual.

Two Hearts

Another of Elena's photos she took on Saturday.

Blog Prompt ~ Cold

Her Space ~ My Space blog promt today was Cold. Apart from taking a photo of the inside of my fridge or freezer, this is the only thing I could come up with. The poem reads ... Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think. ~Robert Henri.

And All That Jazz

The journalling reads ... These are Lisa's Jazz shoes, they have been Madame Thenardier in Les Mis, Kenny Crusoe in the Robinson Crusoe pantomime, the Ice Queen in the Global Rock Challenge, Rizzo in Grease to name but a few. Lisa is hanging up her Jazz shoes on the IOW to go to Rohampton Uni in September. She has passed them down to Elena her little sister. Elena is following in Lisa's footsteps and loving it. Her first show is Jesse James on Sunday and guess what ~ she is wearing these Jazz shoes.

Flower Child ~ QP

I downloaded a Quick Page and stuck a photo of Elena behind it. The colours went OK although the photo is a bit blurred ~ my speciality *lol*
OMG! That makes 5 LO's now ~ FIVE!!!

What I Do For FUN

I think I'm going through a designer / minimalist phase *lol*
I took this photo of myself in the hall mirror today. Didn't know what to do with it until I found an amzing LO on the artstic musings blog ~ it's a blog that inspires me ~ I love it.
Another first, I have created 4 LO's today - FOUR! flippin' heck, no wonder my shoulder's killing me *lol*

Home is where the heart is

A quick digi LO using the photo I took today of the back garden.

Top Gear

This is my take on the pencil lines sketch 20. It really is my favourite programme at the moment. It makes me laugh so much and the 3 lads are like 'Last of the Summer Wine' race track edition *lol*
