Yesterday we drank champagne to celebrate 11 years of wedded bliss.
I can't believe it was 11 years ago but we have certainly done much since then.
We all had so much fun that day, two churches and all!
So last night we had a lovely dinner at the Stokehouse, one of my all time favourite restaurants.
Happy Anniversary darling husband!!
And today we celebrated his birthday with a little champagne and cake in the garden - looking slightly more ordinary!
Tomorrow we will be having a few friends around to bring in the New Year and the following day is my husband's name day!
And it is the same every year - lots of champagne, fine food and wonderful company!
Today we had a visit from my dear friend Elizabeth so I can now share with you the present I made her as it has been very happily received.
It is nice and long to put on her bed and as she has a bad back she is thrilled with it's possibilities as a lumbar support!
I love the colours, they remind of the sea.
I also found time to take a photo of this fabulous bag my sister made me for Christmas.
And it has really lovely lining.
I can't wait to use it but I think it is more of an autumn bag.
Thanks so much everyone for your support this year. It's been so encouraging to receive all my lovely comments and feedback. I have much to achieve in 2008 and have much to look forward to.
And to all the lovely bloggers out there who provide so much entertainment, laughter, a few tears and who inspire me endlessly, cheers!! I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Please look ordinary, lovely picture of you and hubby at your celebrations and have to say love the look of that cream sponge on the table! More lovely creations, oh how I wish I was clever!

Your wedding photos are amazing, they haven't dated whatsoever. Usually that happens...especially for something taken in the 90s.
Your daughters must love looking at these too?
Happy Anniversary Louise ! Your wedding photographs are beautiful, and you both look stunning. Happy Birthday and Name day to your Hubbie as well.
All the best to you in 2008 ! I have enjoyed getting to know you through this medium, and look forward to more inspiration!
Happy Anniversary!! And happy new year!
Happy New Year to you and your family Louise! What gorgeous wedding photos, you look absolutely beautiful. Happy Anniversary too and Happy Birthday to your husband. Love too the pillow and the knitted bag!
