THANK YOU + ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
Yip, you guessed it, I am still in the same frame of mind and did another iris folding card. This time I went for a different shape card i.e. a tall creation. This technique is really addictive and I will have to source some more interesting iris folding patterns ... perhaps do some Google surfing.
All my ex Blue Room scrapping students will be delighted to hear that our Springbok Mom, Sheila and Marten Corfe's Springbok Swimmer daughter, Melissa recently got engaged. I would like to congratulate the Corfe's on this momentous occasion and wish Melissa and Brent a lifetime of happiness together. Here is the email that Sheila sent me:
"Hi Desire, Just thought I would drop you the most exciting news. Melissa and Brent got engaged last week. Marten & I are very happy with her choice of life partner as we could not have chosen a better partner for her. Now the planning begins for a wedding next year, which they are hoping to have in about April/ May."
Above: The circle of love
Below: The radiant fiancees, Brent and Melissa
It was quite interesting that a few ladies commented on my recent post that their husbands would never be seen in public doing strange yoga poses. So I gather myself a very lucky girl having such a darling husband that is prepared to do something as different as yoga with me. We got onto the scene of yoga actually through hubbie's doing. It is a requirement for his intensive coaching studies, that he does yoga classes. We have only had 3 classes so far and are amazed how it brings you into tune with your body. And have also noticed that the mind is a powerful tool, we often don't utilise to its full potential. Putting mind over body, one can actually stretch ones body into positions never thought possible. In the end it contributions to a healthy body which in turns fosters healthy mind.
We are off to Cathedral Peak Hotel in the majestic Drakensberg in two weeks time, for a week. As most of you know by now, this is our favourite relaxing spot in South Africa. Its a birthday pressie from Conroy. Can't wait!
Thank you all for your visits and lovely comments.

Ek het nou eers weer lekker opgevang en vorige inskrywings gelees. Die kaartjies is werklk iets besonders en gee my goeie idees - ek dink nie ek sal so iets regkry nie, maar ek het tog idees gekry wat ek en Tamerin kan probeer! Baie geluk aan die twee verliefdes met hulle verlowing. Ek hoop julle hou baie lekker vakansie en het lekker weer!
