To Have And To Hold

Hey guys, happy Saturday. It's not too bad a day here again today, I'm having a productive day today. Nephew is having a 30th birthday party at the end of the month which is Gatsby (1920's themed). I looked at some gorgeous dresses but couldn't warrant £80+ for one party but paid a visit to the X Catalogue shop we have here in Hull and they had loads to choose from! Think most of the party will be dressed from there. I picked up a fabulous dress that was £28 - Priced in various catalogues from £80 to £170!!!. Only problem was some of the sequins were missing....sooooo I've taken a few where they won't be missed from the bottom and I'm going to restitch all the bits that need sorting out today.

Anyway enough waffle. Today also sees the new challenge over at

The theme for this challenge is Wedding/Anniversary.
