Cousin Lisa's Wedding....

I took these on Saturday at Lisa and Mark's Wedding, Lisa is Chris' cousin. What a great day, lovely weather and again we were at the lovely Petwood Hotel.

Canon D-SLR Camera owners -- good read:

Yippeeeee!

He liked it, he got on really well and was full of it when he got home.
No issues with going back tomorrow! Yippee!
So relieved!! I can chill out and enjoy the rest of the week now!

It's here - first day at senior school....

Well, it's finally here, first day at senior school. I think I'm more nervous than he is.

He's gone off on his own this morning to meet his friends, I feel sooooo redundant!

He's got his great big heavy bag - and it's got no books in it yet!

He looks so smart, but I wonder if the 'hair' will gets any comments, we have gone as short as possible - for him!!

I hope he has a wonderful day and I hope he arrives back later, happy and enthusiastic to go back tomorrow!

I am now going to make an effort to keep myself occupied all day, so I don't think about it. Updates to follow!

Skater Dude!

My Skater Dude! Been messin' with the new Camera.

Only 1 week to go!

Where have these holidays gone!!

I can't believe it's back to school next Tuesday. Sam seems to be looking forward to it.....I think I'm the one with the nerves. BIG milestone, he is starting senior school. All the uniform is ready, ironed and hung up....oooh how organised! (and how bankrupt am I)

Still, I have a long list of projects to get started as soon as he is back at school, so I am looking forward to that. :-)

Bank holiday weekend.....

Lovely weather....long bank holiday weekend.....great!
NO... where was I all weekend...AT WORK! :-(

(It was OK really - had the lovely Laura Lou with me!)

Legoland Slide show

We've been to Legoland!

We've just spent a couple of days in Windsor, a very pretty part of the UK. We spent the first day looking around Windsor, we visited Windsor Castle - Stunning! We had a boat trip on the Thames - very relaxing!

Day 2 we spent at Legoland, a lovely warm sunny day and we had a fantastic time! Most of the rides had a 45 min wait time - but were usually worth it!

What a great place and surprise surprise I took well over 200 photo's!! Which now I've mastered slide shows (I love Adobe)- will be turned into one!

Extreme sports!

What can I say......meet my sister-in-law Lorraine. We spent Sunday afternoon and evening having a few drinks in the lovely sunshine. By early evening, feeling a little light headed, she decided to have a go on Sam's (very fast) rollerblades!
Now...to be fair...with a little help from an 11 year old and a brick wall....she did stay on her feet!

I think her lasts words, as she was leaving, was...something like...this better not get on your BLOG! oooooo!!

Finished slide show.

Well I have finished the slide show, I showed hubby when he got home from work and it made him really emotional - lets hope it has the same effect on the bride and groom!

The show lasts for just over 8 mins and has 4 digital scrap pages scattered throughout. I have set the whole thing to 'I've had the time of my life' from the Dirty Dancing film.

Wedding Day...

Chris' cousin Bev got married on Saturday to Mark - and how lucky were they with the weather - beautiful sunny day!! The Wedding has been planned for over 2 1/2 years!! And what a day it was - superb, everything went like clockwork, Bev looking stunning.

I am just putting together a TV slide show of the photo's I have taken (well some of the 264 that I took on the day!!) and plan to use a few digi scrap pages throughout. The above will be the title page.

This is one of the lovely templates from CottageArts.net from their simply moments volume 1 CD.
