This definitely was the greatest day of our lives 🩷

We've had some very tough years, but we're still here and still together.

Love you Mr Hughes 🩷

✨ August is well and truly slipping away and I've been MIA on here!! Work and family life has been very busy and I haven't had any time to post, comment and look at all your beautiful creations ✨

I've got several orders to make up and it's my autumn wreath class in 3 weeks then I'm off on my jollies again!! ✈️

✨ This beautiful vase arrangement is on its way to its new home. I'm loving the yellow, white and green together 💛. The yellow just adds that little bit of zestiness ✨

Total cost including vase £30... What a bargain and it will last you a lifetime ✨

Hope you've all been keeping well? And I hope you're having an amazing August ☺️
