52Q

52Q

After seeing the tags for 52Q on Jeanne’s blog – Dream Create Inspire and also Suzanne Duda's Pink Roses and other passions I decided to join.

It was organised by Emily ‘embers’. Each week Emily posts another question.

I think it was the questions that attracted me in the first place.
It has made me question many things in my life and try to work out where I am heading.
In so many ways it has been a rough 12 months for me and I thought this would help me work through so many issues.

WEDDING INVITATIONS

Hope the actual acceptances are a few less!!!

Here is what the invitations look like

The photo is one I took of Ryan putting Amy's engagement ring on last year.

It took a lot of trial and error to get the invitaions to what they are.

All sorts of colours were tried out for the written section.

It was so hard to find a colour that showed up on all the different parts of the photo.

Ryan got to pick the colour.

Amy figured he might as well be able to pick something!!

These roses are just so delicate

FEBRUARY CENTREPIECE PARTY

February Centrepiece Party.

Cindy from My Romantic Home is having a February Centrepiece Party so I thought I would join.

I kept my February Centrepiece basically white with a touch of pink from the roses in the vase (in last photo) and the Heart Garland placed around the mirror tray.
The white rose pieces were gifts from my sister as she knows how much

I love my Iceberg Roses.

Click on photos to enlarge them so as you can see them in better detail.

Love the way the morning sunlight creates shadows and light on these pieces.

Fabulous rose detail on these pieces





Pretty Pierre de Ronsard rose from my garden in a milk glass vase.
It is amazing the way the different time of day affects the way the photos look.
This one was taken half an hour later than the first three photos.
Enjoy Cindy's February Centrepiece Party.

BUSHFIRES IN VICTORIA

TRAGIC LOSS OF LIVES

As of 7.00am Monday 9th February 108 people have been confirmed dead in the ferocious bushfires that ripped through Victoria at the weekend

My nephew has a home in Wandong where this photo below was taken.

We are so thankful that he did not lose his home. Sadly as well as many houses being destroyed in Wandong there were also lives lost.

Firefighters have worked extremely hard in unbelievable conditions in

an attempt to stop these fires.

There are still 31 fires still burning

This unbelievable death toll makes these fires (some still burning) the deadliest in Australia's history. There are fears that the death toll will rise again as the authorities are able to get into more areas

Our heart goes out to all of the victims and their families
