Wedding Card


Hello there and welcome to my blog x

The weather here over the last few days has been pretty dim ..... guess our summer is over!! what we had of it.

Saturday we had a BBQ for our Grand-daughter Poppy. Family & close friends who have not met her yet had the opportunity to do so. It was a brilliant day, lots of food, drink, laughs and dancing.

My Son, Father in law and Husband did the ice bucket challenge and raised £135.00 for Cancer. We were all chuffed with that. I know this has gone viral and once you have seen one you have seen it all, BUT, before I share the wedding card I have made I am going to share the videos.

My Son Kerry

My father-in-law George.

My Husband Lee.
I apoligise now for the swear word at the end


I am going to share a wedding card with you. It was a commisioned one and I made it quite a while ago but have not shared it yet.

It looks like you have had lots of fun with the IBC! My family have been doing it too and as I was doing the filming the camera work was very shaky because I couldn't stop laughing!
Love your VERY special card Sally and I'm sure it will be kept by the happy couple as a wonderful reminder of their special day.

Your blog is really interesting and it also intrigues me that you have been blogging since 26 years. I wonder how you started off and how blogging might have been back then. Loved the pictures you have shared of lovely invitation cards. Hope to check out some creative options for my wedding too.
