An Afternoon Treat...

Today I met up with my friend Karen in the city. 

We walked...

We chatted...

We window-shopped...

And... 

We had afternoon tea.

Latte with a dark cherry macaroon...

Oh my...

Divine.

More pictures of the wedding... and flowers :)

My friend, Eloise, gave me the great honour of doing the flowers for her wedding!
The last 3 days have been overwhelmingly busy, but most enjoyable. Below are a couple of snaps to share the flowers...
We will have to wait for some professional snaps later!

What has been consuming my time!

Sorry for not blogging for the last few weeks, but for the three weeks after my last blog I was working 12-18 hour days in preparation for the Kids Fun Day!

It was an amazing event, and everyone (children and adults alike) learned so much about God and each other! I'll just share a couple of clips of this time.
The first two are from a nap on one of my few rest days. Tarquin looked so gorgeous, I couldn't resist to take a snap!

I can share a couple of the Kids Fun Days... unfortunately I can't share ones that have the kids in it... but maybe you'll get a feel for how awesome it was!!!

God Sighting Maps - over 250 Sightings over the whole week!

Amazing Singing and worshipping God - this pic taken on Fancy dress day!

Creative messages!

Fun times and...

Great Food!!!

And an amazing team of people, all serving God together!
(And this is only some of them!)

God is so good! He gave everyone the energy that we needed to run this program, love the children and have fun with no accidents!!!!!!!! Lots of new friends were made and we have received only good feedback!!!!

WOOHOO!!!! God is good!!!!

Praise the Lord!!!

Little Brown Pen

I love seeing the photos that Little Brown Pen load onto their blog. 

Their colour co-ordination and their beautiful images of Paris take my breath away.

Today I was catching up on some of my blog reading when I found these 'snow bird' images. 

I love birds. 

There can be such simplicity and complexity in them.

 I just *love* these shots. 

Check out the image of the 'snow fight'!

It makes me want to move to a place which has snow.

I would love these images on my wall at home. 

(Hmmm, lots of love statements today... images via little brown pen)

Only 2 and a half weeks to go!

My time has flown and today I realised that there is only two and a half weeks until we run the Kids Fun Days at church. I've been really busy over the last 5 weeks, but I can feel that the work load is going to be stepping up a couple of notches for the next couple of weeks!


God give me strength!!!!
