i'm sorry - i just had to put those lyrics in there - couldn't help myself!
i am loving these gold wedding cakes - you can't really go wrong with gold at a wedding can you?
thanks to all of you who commented here and on my fb, twitter etc re. my last post.
it looks like number 1 is the favourite but i still can't make up my mind. it's not my fault i'm a typical indecisive libra but once i make up my mind it's made up for good. so hopefully no more silly profile switching!
if you were one of those who commented and 'liked' etc. on that post don't forget to use the discount code PROFILEPICS15 when you visit my shop :)

i had the pleasure of going with my lovely sister to her final baby scan today and we found out that she is having a girl! i was totally wrong about it being a boy then! but we are all delighted because she is very healthy and she will no doubt be as beautiful as her big sister Lilly.
i still remember clear as this day when my sisters dad woke me up in the middle of the night and told me that 'it's a girl!' - i am ashamed to say that all i could think about was the fact that i had to now share my room with her! how terrible of me! but hey i was only 8 so i forgive myself. i hope that Lilly and her little sister have such an amazingly close relationship as i do with my little sister - it's something that i will always be thankful for.
i am going to be Kelly's birthing partner too so that's quite exiting although a bit nerve racking - i can't even bring myself to watch that 'one born every minute' but i am going have to start! i am sure it will be a wonderful experience and i feel very privileged to be there at the birth of our next family member. i am so looking forward to it and it will make a change from our last hospital experiences. this whole family seriously needs some happiness for a change rather than the awful tragedies we have had to suffer over the last couple of years.
my sister is naming her Ella Robyn Reid. she has given her the middle name of Robyn as that was my husbands favorite girls name. i know that he would have been really happy with that.
the above picture was taken by Shaun when he was babysitting Lilly one day. she always had a great time with her 'Uncle Shauny' he loved her to pieces and i know he will be looking down on her and her new baby sister always.

yes! the sun is out today which means that i should be able to take some awesome pictures with Sophie at our little 'photoshoot' today - more details on that coming soon.
let's hope the sun does actually stay out though as knowing me i will be taking lots and lots of pictures so i need him to play fair today!

as it's Mothers day on Sunday i am dedicating this post to my beautiful Mum.
she really should have been a model - she definitely had the looks for it (still does!) but she chose to be a Mum instead - luckily for my brother sister and me!
the top picture was from before she had us lot (i think) and the other one is her with me as a baby. she looks a bit fed up in that one - i was a massive baby weighing at just under ten pounds so she was probably really tired! luckily she had 8 years to recover before she had my sister - she was eleven pound something - poor mum!
she has always been there for me whenever i have needed her and more so in this last year than ever. i am so grateful to still have her. there was a time when i thought i would lose her but luckily she is a strong as an ox - she is a Taurus after all - and she has always pulled through and managed to spring back to her youthful amazing looking self. luckily i have her genes - so i am hoping that i end up looking as young as she does when i am her age (which is still young of course!) then i will be a very happy lady!
she has had more than her fair share of drama and heartbreak in her life too - if she wrote a book on it you wouldn't believe it - seriously! but she always stayed strong for me and my siblings. she protected us like a lioness does her cubs.
my Mum is also responsible for my love for Kate Bush. my uncle remembers Mum playing her music into her belly when i was in there!
i know some people who no longer have their Mothers in their lives. i understand for those people that Sunday will be a difficult day for them but it will also be a day to remember all the happy memories too.
thank you Mum for looking after me so well - especially in recent months.
Love you more than words can say

i have always loved the black and white look. i'm quite into the idea of a black feature wall and then having all the other walls white.i have never been keen on 'feature' walls but i think it might look quite cool in black. i think i will try that in my conservatory as it's always light in there so i think i could get away with it.
the only thing is - why can't everything else in life be a bit more black and white!

well, i don't quite know where i found the time but i managed to do a full re-branding. so i have managed to tick one of the things of my list for this year already.
i thought it was quite fitting that i re-brand now seeing as i am going through a bit of a re-branding myself.
i guess i am not the same person that i was six months ago. many of the people around me that know me well say that my personality is almost completely different - in a good way (hope they aren't just being nice and think i have turned into a total cow!). i am actually pretty happy with how i have changed but i still badly wish i hadn't had to go through this whole 'process' and could go back to the old me and my old life again. but i can't and i have to keep moving on.
i'm quite pleased with the new logo etc. i needed something a bit more cohesive and design led. i am also going to get some professional photos done of me soon too to finish it all off and to add to my about page on esty - which is well overdue!
i will be adding more items to the shop soon once i get all of my orders fulfilled - and there are a few. it's a catch 22 sometimes with this business. i need to keep adding new items to keep the shop looking fresh and interesting but at the same time i need to process orders. it's all a learning curve and i am sure i will get organized and into a more productive pattern soon enough.
i am sending my first ever order to Taiwan today - i have never posted there before but i am sure it will be fine. it's so nice to know my creations are being used in weddings all over the world :)
