A funny to get you through to the weekend

Phew, its all been a bit busy at this end lately! But lest I become one of those people who complain about how 'busy' and 'important' they are, I will now shut up, and provide you with something so awesome you will need to watch it several times.

By the time you check out that he DID IT ALL EXACTLY THE SAME, it will be Friday afternoon - voila weekend! You can thank me later

The Dresses that never were

Since my wedding day was about a million years ago (ok only 18 months), I can share some photos of the dresses that didn't make the cut. 

I was never a one strap kind of girl

Bit too bohemian. Plus about 12 sizes too big

Not too bad- one strap again

not too disimilar to the actual dress

And the winner was.....

Ahh so pretty.... and straps optional ;)

Fly Away, Far Away From Here

Next month Matt and I are heading to Europe for 6 weeks, and its suddenly become so close, and I CAN'T WAIT!!

We've been booking tickets and accommodation, and car hire etc at a rate of knots lately, so its become very real. And I am getting to that excited point- where its not just a dream, but becoming more and more real each day.

I'm at the point of trying to plan my plane outfit. Don't judge me- its hard to find a balance of comfort, style and something that we can leave here in (winter) and arrive in Summer in, without carrying a whole change of clothes.

Anyway I thought I'd share a few pics of places we're staying

We're staying here in Tuscany

A tuscan villa

A view of a castle from our room in Cesky Krumlov

An English B&B

And of course I can't wait to see these guys

We're excited....51 days to go

A Wedding Book

A year and a half after our wedding, we finally ordered our wedding photo book.

I think designing a book online and getting it printed is a lot easier (and more modern) than printing photos and putting them in an album.

We got out book from Blurb, because it had really good reviews. Also, its designing software was really easy to use.

Because you design it yourself, you can use any format, and add text (we added our vows, a poem, and the lyrics of Matt's song).

You can make any type of book with this service - I might make a recipe book next.

Its sort of special looking through the photo book that you know your grandchildren will look through.
