This time last year

......we celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary aboard the Scenic Gem in Budapest, Hungary. No such exotic place today, but can't wait to head off next week, on our much anticipated trip to the USA and Canada. Only 7 sleeps!!!

I have been doing Ali Edwards' class - Hello Story. This template was one of the prompts from Week 4, Story Structure = Time. I am really enjoying the class. So many ideas!!!

Happy Anniversary

32 years ago today! Where did that time go?

Blog update

It was long overdue. My blog was certainly looking tired and out of date. Finally made the time to sit and revise Jessica Sprague's online class - Bloom Your Blog. I completed the class back in 2013 and had used the knowledge gained to put together a new blog for Stephen and a travel blog for the two of us but I had never customised my own blog. At that time I was happy enough with what I had previously muddled together. I love Creative Market and while I have purchased a few items I do love the Free Design Goods Roundup each Monday and have been able to download for free some very useful items. One of the things I did purchase was the watercolour set that I used when designing my blog header. I always thought that I might use it to design wedding invitations, etc but it certainly came in handy when 'renovating' my blog and I am very happy with the end product.

Things I have always wanted to learn

I always promised myself that when I had more time I would learn new things such as Illustrator and even another language. So no more procrastinating. I find Terry White so easy to listen to and his explanations are always direct and simple to emulate.  Another great place to learn Illustrator is here.

So here goes!!!
