I can't believe.....

.....that i've been blogging for a whole year!!!
2009 was really good for me, and some of that i believe is down to blogging....it has helped me amongst other things to look at the good in the world.
Thank you to all of you that have been part of that.
Raise your glasses, mugs etc to another year!!!
Blogging really can save lives!!

So...on to another anniversary....Last week my hubby and i celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.

We had a yummy yummy dinner together:

Each year we have bought/made each other gifts under the theme of traditional anniversay presents. This year was Iron.
This is what i did:

We got engaged in Cambridge and went to Browns for our celebratory meal. So i thought it would be nice to go back again.

All wrapped up in ribbon with a selection of photos of the 2 of us, and some dark chocolate (for some more iron!)

And the hubby...bless his heart....got me:

My favourite film on Dvd (because you can make the words iron out of the letters on the front),
Paper that has an iron tinge to it, and then all though not technically made out of iron....A lovely CK braclet, a jingly heart and a pink garden tool that all look abit irony!!!!
And the best bit:

Hee Hee, he's a cutie!!!!

The eldest changed our blackboard to this:

So..what else have we been up to?
Well the boys......always manage to make me go awwww, but also arghhhh!!! in a matter of minutes!!!!!
This was an awww moment though:

Last week in Paperchase i bought myself this rather thick notebook, that from now on will be by my side whilst reading through all your lovely blogs, for if i want to write down a recipe, quote, making idea, place to go etc.

I signed up for Brocantehomes putteryposts (a lovely puttery treat in your inbox every day for a year)
My first one was to choose a word for the year. I have chose:

It's still snowy here, i'm not a big fan of snow...i'd much rather be warm and cosy indoors, making the snacks and drinks whilst the boys are outside.

And lastly, some of you will know that my dear Grandad is very very ill in hospital. We know he has a matter of hours/days left in this world. Please pray for this wonderful man to be taken kindly by God up to a new and better place.
