I spy with my little eye......

....Two of my designs in print! I was having a little browse on Pinterest yesterday (as you do!) and stumbled across some of my work that I sold over at Surtex last year - you can find it here from a company called Total Paper in Mexico. It's not very often that I get to see my work published as most of it is overseas, so it was a nice little surprise to find these jumbo gift bags yesterday.....

....I think they've turned out pretty well, don't you? - a little tweak from them here and there, and a splash of foil to add to the mix - here are some snapshots of how the original designs looked:

A lovely weekend of looking back....

Ahhhhhh....look what I got; my lovely Matt made me feel very special this weekend - on Saturday we went up to York and had such a gorgeous time....the sun was shining and everything was perfect.

We walked along the city walls..

...and cast our minds back to a year ago

...we would have been stood at the alter together, saying our vows....

We took a stroll along the river, and stopped off at a little cafe that specialised in Belgian beers...

- I'm not normally a beer drinker, but this cherry one was sooooooo nice; the perfect sunshine weather refreshment! It was lovely to sit outside and reminisce about the day, and the proposal itself, which took place here just over 3 years ago...it's funny because throughout the course of the day we saw 3 other weddings taking place as we walked around the city; this just made the memories even stronger!

We finished the day off with a romantic meal at an Italian restaurant, then went home and cracked open the bubbly...the perfect end to a perfect day! :D

After a lovely lie-in on Sunday, we continued the celebrations by spending the afternoon / evening with some friends at Darley Park for their annual fireworks concert...this year marked the event's 20th anniversary!

 - There was such a large crowd there; it was almost like being at a festival! Everyone was decked out with their chairs and picnics, sipping glasses of wine and taking in the music and atmosphere..it was great! Bless us though; it was the first time we'd ever been so we only had a little blanket to sit on....next year it'll be a different story..... :)

Wedding bells!

I've just had a very productive weekend doing lots of preparation for my fourthcoming wedding...can't believe how fast it's coming around now - VERY exciting! :) 

Here are a couple of oldies but goodies that I thought I'd share with you  to run along with the wedding theme...both sold in the U.S. last year, so should hopefully be popping up in store right now....if anyone spots them then let me know! :)
