A new print...

I have a new addition now available in my Etsy shop.
House in the Birch, is an A5 print of my original illustration, printed onto Epson photo quality paper, signed and dated on the reverse and gift-wrapped ready for you to open.
Click on the picture to be magically transported to my wee shop page.
(Oh and the name and date will not appear on the original it is for copyright purposes online only ... do not fear!)

In other news... what terrible sad news from Oklahoma! My heart goes out to all those who have been affected by the tornado.
Such devastation and sadness.
I saw this amazing video today and it made me cry!

Ch ch ch changes

Things have changed around these parts, if you notice I have deleted all my previous posts. This is not an accident, it was deliberate and it made me feel all shaky and sweaty whilst I did it but now its done I feel truly liberated!
You see I had exceeded my 1GB storage for Google and I had decided to pay per month for some more but then I got to thinking and discovered that actually I didn't like half of my old blog posts, we have just started a new chapter in our life, new house, new member of our family (Ernie) and now we are getting married next year, well I though rather than start an entirely new blog I would revamp and de clutter this one. So I am not having a mental break down or some mid life crisis (even though I'm not middle aged yet) I am just moving forward and not looking back.

Posts and topics will of course be the same, nothing has in fact changed except this blog will start from now and I will no longer pay a fee per month to post yippee! One more penny in the purse that has been saved ;)

Hope you are all well?
Thanks for sticking by and reading for the past few years I promise to stick around for a couple more!

A big announcement

Well it's almost the weekend and I haven't even posted pictures from the previous weekend.
It was rainy and cold but enjoyable. We mooched around the house, tidied cleaned, cooked (check out Ashley's dauphinoise potato's) then attended church on Sunday.

We have been attending church for the past two weeks because we are getting married! The date has been set 06th September 2014..16months and counting and lots of planning and preparation to do before then!

We are both very happy and excited and I cannot wait to become Mrs Stanley but until then I had better get cracking on the preparation.

Happy Thursday guys and gals .. nearly the weekend
