Home....



Yay...I LOVE this song...from BBC Canada and finally someone added it to YOUTUBE yesterday :)

Monochromatic Layout.....


I wanted to do a black and white layout - after seeing an article in a recent British magazine about monochromatic layouts.....I did add a punch of colour to go with the dandelion Abigail had picked though :)

My friend Louise....




During my stay in England I wasn't able to visit many of my old friends that I'm still in touch with, but I was lucky enough to be able to go and visit my school friend Louise!! Louise sometimes reads my blog and we chat on Facebook and Email - and it has been so great to catch up with her because of the Internet over recent years! We were in the same form room (homeroom) for 5 years at Preston Comprehensive School (age 11 - 16)......Louise got me my first REAL job in a little store that sold newspapers and candy/ groceries etc etc...

We arrived at Louise's house just after her groceries had arrived - yes, they have grocery delivery in the UK and I was so jealous! When I lived in Scotland I would have my groceries delivered every week! It was wonderful to be able to order them online and just have the delivered to the door! So easy!!! Several big grocery stores do it! I have no clue why they don't do that here in Alberta especially in our Winters when people don't want to go out in the cold!

Louise was busy preparing for a dinner party the following night...a belated dinner to celebrate her birthday which had been the day before my visit!! :)

Anyway, I'm rambling! It was so great to see Louise after sooooooo long! She hadn't changed a bit - was still just as beautiful! Was exactly as I imagined her to be! Her home is beautiful! We met her sweetheart of a dog Meghan...drooled over her menu for the dinner party (which I hear went perfectly) .....

Louise it was great to see you again - thanks so much for having us over :) I hope your boys weren't on too much of a sugar high with their lollipops and cookies ;)
