A Fellow Writer

I wanted to do a blog post about an amazing writer, G. Jefferies. I first had the pleasure of reading his  body of work on a creative writing course. Which is a great place to start out to mold your writing talent.
Since then, we have shared ideas and bounced thoughts, doubts, characters and anything to do with writing.  

I am also lucky that he kindly encourages me about my book :) Also he takes the time to edit and proof my work, of which I am grateful to no end. As I need all the help I can get lol

I love reading Gary's style and in depth stories. They pull me in and leave me wanting more. I am sure if you read his work, you too will grow to love his stories and I tell you this, he has plenty of stories in that grey matter of his to share :)

Brown Farm Relief Society Princess Party

I am in a new church ward and on the LDS Relief Society activity committee :) 

And as a body of committee members we have begun a fab new activity and celebrating the woman in our ward, by celebrating their birthdays and treating them to a Royal Evening :)

I made some simple Princess style cupcake wrappers

(Template below)

We had a lady who kindly made the cupcakes then I frosted and decorated them :)

I made this cute little Princess Saying. 

I used simple Dollar Store plastic Photo frames then used some scrapbook paper, same as

cupcakes wrappers  I made and added a bow.

(Template below)

I decorated empty boxes and we laid a cute table setting.

Another lady made this cute banner.

More of my cute Princess sayings.

Each of the Birthday ladies got to wear a super cute Princess Rhinestone Crown for the night

Each sister got their own personal cupcake, we lit it and sang happy birthday.

we played two truths and a lie and enjoyed a light meal of chicken cordon bleu, salad and bread.

 HERE ARE THE TEMPLATES I USED FOR THE PRINCESS SAYINGS

Christmas 2015

I'm so behind on my blog. My reasoning behind the delay in making posts on here is.... I've finished my first draft of my book and begun the editing process :/ I decided that my time was best spent working on that. But I also wanted to update this page for my followers :) 

 A SAVIOR IS BORN

So let us begin with my family's Christmas.

A quiet one really but still wonderful. The girls were up around 7am, so not too bad :) here are some pictures.

After all the gifts were opened and played with it was time for our Christmas meal :) 

YUM

and donning my British tradition of cracking our  Christmas Crackers and wearing the paper crowns while eating our meal

Erm....maybe my eyes were bigger than my belly! LOL

My New Baby Granddaughter, Autumn Kay Drew.

How does ones birthday get better?

When you get to hold a brand new baby in your arms and that baby is your granddaughter.

Autumn Kay Drew was born on November 19th at 8:20pm, weighing 6lbs 14oz and sporting a mop of dark hair! 

She was born at Alta View Hospital to my son Bradley Drew and his girlfriend, Breanna Lewis.

Seren, Carys and I went to see baby Autumn the day after she came into this world.

Holding such a delicate little bundle in my arms was the best gift and brought back plenty of memories of when I gave birth to all of my 7 children! How time flies.

Last night Nov 24th Brad, Bree and baby Autumn stopped by for a visit

Seren loves to sings and took no time in trying to comfort Autumn.

Just adorable x

Another Year Older.

When does having a birthday become a dread?

When you know your getting older and the excitement one has as a child the night before and when you wake up on your birthday expires when you pass age 30. 

The years creep up on you and before you know it,  your not looking forward to the special day.

If your like me, you even conjure up amazing gifts you only dream of. And you find yourself having to give a list of what you would like. 

Sometimes that list you gave gets some gifts checked off, other times no.

This year, with  money tight as we are saving every spare penny for our down payment for our new home. So, gifts from hubby are on the sparse side. But I did get plenty of gifts actually.

I did get some great Dvd sets:

Back to the future trilogy - from my hubby

Blade 4 movie set - from my hubby

Lethal Weapon 4 movie set - from my daughter Jade

The Mummy Trilogy - From money I got from my mother in law

A gift card from brother in law which I purchased two writing books and the Dvd movie,

 Man in the Iron Mask.

Also from my daughter Jade I got a great gift. Knowing how much I like the Actor 

Tom Hiddleston she got me a journal with  quotes by Tom inside! Sweet gift I must say :)

Then my hubby and kids went our for dinner to 

Red Robin restaurant 

Then we came home and enjoyed cheesecake for my dessert and watched the first installment of Back to The Future - which the girls loved.

        

  

                                              YUM!
