Hey everyone!

Thanks for the lovely comments about my headaches! I woke up feeling wonderful this morning and rather giddy because I didn’t have a headache and my ear was fine……! YAY! It is still lingering though, that nasty headache, so I have booked to see the chiro, and hopefully it is just my neck that is out a little and causing all the fuss.

Anyway, yesterday I put a status update on my Facebook saying I had exciting news to share tomorrow…….it has literally driven everyone mad not knowing what it is. LOL! And well it is evening now and I still haven’t spilt the beans!

Okay so the big news is the that my brother Bryn (who I always talk about) and Kate from Maryland USA, got engaged on the weekend!!! WHOO HOOO! It is all very exciting, and since he is my only brother and Kate is an only child, it is all very exciting to invite her into the family. I had a little part to play with it all, and was the only one that knew he was going to ask her. I ended up being the ring designer…..and arranging it all with the jewller, whist Bryn was stuck out at sea on the Barge he was commissioned to work on! Talk about a lot of pressure!!! But I am happy to say he loved it, and so did Kate which is what really matters.

Talk about being romantic though……! He took her out a few days earlier to buy her a new dress,…then on the day had booked her a massage, then when they left to go for dinner at a 5 star elite restaurant, there was a Limo to take them there. But that isnt all! He had arranged a horse and carriage to take them around Charleston, and then asked her in Washington park…..talk about sweet and romantic, which I have to say I didn’t know Bryn was like that! LOL!.

And kate being who she is just about died of shock and was having a good cry from it all. But most importantly she said YES! They phoned me straight away which was so sweet, and Kate was talking 100 miles a minutes, and just beside herself with excitement and still in shock!

Don’t you just love a happy story? Anyway that has just made my week, and I smile each time I think about it. Not having ever had a sister, I am so blessed with the sister-in-law that i will have! Of course I am dying to see photos, and that ring on her finger (thankfully it fit perfectly!) but I don’t have to wait too long as they will be arriving back in Perth on Monday……Can’t wait!

I couldn’t announce it on Facebook just yet because I have been waiting for them to be able to phone everyone, and well when they haven’t put it on their own status (which I thought they would have) I kinda don’t want to be the one to spill the beans on their behalf because we do share the same friends and family!

Now to just save lots and lots of Moolah to take all 6 of us over to the States for the wedding! Oh how am I going to resist all those Reese’s peanut butter cups, shopping at Michaels, and visiting all my stamping friends I now have…..I am going to have to resist more Copics and start saving BIG TIME, …..LOL!

Okay so what I have come her for really….. this weeks Take a pic Tuesday! I plan on doing a few of my favourite Convention photos in the next few weeks, as I never get round to doing them, and well it is a special part of the year that I would love to have in my Photo journal for 2009.

So going through all my pictures……that everyone so kindly sent me ( I think I have about 3,000 now! LOL) I have picked this one first!

This is my gorgeous, loving, caring, funny, very talented, dependable, with amazing hair, photographer, with fabulous fashion sense, always supportive, and beautiful friend Monique (aka…. monnie moo)  

Monnie has come to Convention with me the past two years, and we have always had a blast! She is also my excersize partner in crime, who really gets to see me with bed hair, a grupmy face..cuz it is toooo cold, hot and sweaty days, or just plain still too tired to talk mood sometdays, but each day at 5:45am we get together, and she is always smiling and always positive…….AND she doesn’t get angry when I accidentily forget to set the alarm and leave her standing at the end of my driveway! Now wouldn’t you call that a fabulous friend??!! Well that she is, and I feel very very blessed to have Monnie in my life, and well this photo is a great reminder, of what a wonderful friendship we share!

So I look forward to scrapping this page for you all on Saturday!

Have a good night!
