Long time no blog!!

Hiya all
those of you have have visited my blog in the past 3 months, would have noticed that it hasn't been updated for ages, due to family commitments my children are all grown up, because of events in their lives they needed just a bit more of my time....a case of Mum to the rescue, but now things have calmed down a bit I am back!!
OK I have been finding the time to make some lovely LO's of my Daughters wedding, which was a lovely summers day in June this year. A good time was had by all we welcome Neil into our family,He's the perfect son in law! we couldn't have wished for a better husband for our daughter.
