I have news, lots of news, and even some very exciting/thrilling family news, which of couse, I'm saving for last. Not that all the news isn't exciting and thrilling but the last one is BIG NEWS.

First I wanted to congratulate Maria who not only is sweet, talented, gorgous and writes the very informative blog Colour me Happy, but is a follower of this blog, for having her photo and a write-up in the recent Style at Home magazine. Here is a picture of the page, in case you don't get the magazine.

Cobi Ladner, whose dining room I talked about in a previous post, emailed me to let me know that she had linked my blog to her Facebook page. Being a F-B novice, I had no idea what that meant. It took me awhile but I finally got on Facebook to Cobi's page and low and behold there is my blog. Here's a picture of it (with my early spring tulip header):

I forgot to announce at the beginning of the week, the winner of my Ten Thousand Villages store giveaway. The winner is Deb who has already given me her address, and her goodies are on the way to her.

I was pleased, honoured, and excited to be given my first Blog Award today. Sarah, the lovely blogger at Dream in Domestic, who is kind, smart, and thoughtful passed the Sunshine Award on to me.
I'm supposed to pass it on to 12 other blogs. This will take some thinking on my part to narrow it down to 12 bloggers, so I will save that for another post.

And now for the BIG NEWS. Our eldest son, Malcolm, announced that he and his girlfriend, Christie are engaged to be married. We are thrilled to say the least. Christie, our future daughter-in-law, is sweet, kind, intelligent (she loves physics, but I won't hold that against her), and cute as a button. She is going to be a lovely addition to the family. The wedding is planned for next May so there will be plenty of event planning happening around here over the next year.
Wow congrats to your family and bonus that you even like her:-)
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, big congratulations on your son's engagement! How exciting! I've just posted on a great event planning site today (although, it is in Australia) - you might want to check out their blog for inspiration. Thanks for the other tid bits too..I found what Maria said about using white in a dark room very interesting. I'm considering using it in my bedroom but it doesn't have whole heap of natural light. May go back to the idea of a lovely shade of taupe..Have a lovely Sunday..Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all the big news, especially the engagement. How exciting!
