Our 19th Wedding Anniversary...

Biggsie and I just celebrated our 19th Wedding Anniversary on the 10th of March. We went out for dinner together to one of our favourite restaurants. It's hard to believe it's been 19 years. The time has gone so fast.

Here is our wedding photo. I can hear you laughing. The year was 1990 and puffy sleeves were in. I had more photos to scan but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment. I will try again soon to post some more...

Here are photos of my presents... 2 new Willow tree figures. This one is 'love'.


And this one is 'hope'. The are so beautiful.

These are a few of my favourite things...

I'm back from my 10 day blogging break...

I will fill in the gaps soon. I want to scan and post my wedding photo for you all to have a good laugh at... It was our 19th wedding anniversary last week. And I also have some beautiful photos from my sister-in-laws wedding on the weekend.

Anyway, here are some of my favourite things to help me get back into the blogging swing...

Yes, I still love blue and red...

I love this cup...

I love the colours they have used in these blankets...

Oh how I would love to be snuggled up in my favourite chair reading this magazine right now...

What great chocolate wrapping. Why don't cadbury do this? Yes, I'm a cadbury girl. :)
