Happy New year to everyone

Hi everyone,
Well can you believe it, it is the last day of the year, and to me it seems like just yesterday that we were celebrating the last new year.
the year seems to have gone by so fast that I blinked and almost missed it.
I want to wish everyone a very happy new year with this card that I have just made.
In this part I took a fireworks image that I had and put it on.
I then put the writing on.

In this part I put the background on both pages,
and then I put on the material like stuff, then the sort of wreath frame,
and then the rose.
On the other side I put the writing on over the back ground.
A very Happy New Year to Everyone
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Christmas Day at Backsberg Wine Estate

Hi Everyone,
I hope that everyone had a really wonderful Christmas.
I had a really fantastic day. My husband, Les, My Brother, Charles and his wife, Gen went to Backsberg Wine Estate in Paarl, which is about an hour's drive from where we live, for Lunch.
We arrived there to be offered a free wine tasting which we did, and then we went to our table, and soory to say did not take photo's till we had finished eating, because the tabbles were beautifully done. Wtiht white table cloths, and a small plate of olives and feta cheese, and another with various breads, We soon tucked into that, had to tell Les to stare clear of the cheese as he is allergic to chillies. We sat quite relaxed and chattered away, and then went in and got our starters, there were the most beautiful platters of all sorts of fish, and as they got toward empty they were replaced. There was salmon and rolmops, and praws and crab and calamari and muscles and some fish mouse like thing, everything was delishish.
We then chattered some more, and went in for our main course, they had inside stacks of different veg and salad dishes and suasage and ham and bacon rolls and chicken, but we got our veg and salad and then went out and had the spit roast lamb, absolutely yum.
We then took another break and these photo's were taken, the bad ones are mine and the good one's taken by someone else.








We then Chattered away and carried on having a really wonderful relaxed time with family and then  we went for desert, well I don't know about anyone else but they all looked so good one had trouble choosing what to take.

We then sat comfortably and nattered away untill about four pm having arrived at 11:45am we wen to have coffee. 
We spent the most wonderful day together had some marvelous food and some good music and two marvelous bottles of pumphouse shiraz.
A really good time was had by all and we all got home very hot and somewhat tired but very contented.
I hope that everyone had an incredibly wonderful Christmas as well.
Thank you everyone for your support and friendship.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Ask Away Friday

Hi Everyone,
First and foremost I want to wish everyone a very happy and blessed Christmas.
I am very priviledged to be teeming up with Mrs Tee, this week, what a wonderful person and what wonderful question she has asked. Please all go to http://www.mrsteelovelifelaughter.com to see the questions that I asked her and give her some really love she is such a lovely lady
Well her goes :
1)    I think that it is so cool that you are a trained(even if semi) opera singer!  How did  you come upon that as a talent versus regular singing?
       Well I I suppose that I always had music in the house, and I used to sing after my mothers opera records even as a little girl. Then in junior school I was in choirs and loved.  When I was thirteen I told my father I wanted to take singing lessons, so he found me a very good teacher, and although I was still a bit young I started to take lessons, and she was very good for me because for a while she would not let me have my own way, and would only let me sing scales and from there we went on.
I then joined the Cape Town Symphony choir and was a member untill it disbanded. I then married and singing went onto the back bench, because when you are performing you have to be quite self centered and put the performance first, and I was not prepared to do that to my marriage, my husband is to important to be put on the back burner, so I only sing in the bath and at home now.
2)    You love to Read as do I. What is your favorite genre of book? Fiction, non-fiction, mystery, historical, romance....?
        Well I suppose at the moment my favorite is Science Fiction, but I do read virtually anything, except maybe romance, I think that is my least favorite.
3)    I saw you love to cook. What about baking? is that something you enjoy or would you rather do savoury than sweet?
       Well I suppose that I would rather do the savoury, but must admit to enjoy making cakes and cookies, but please can someone else do the decorating, I have not the patience to do the icing and the decorating, luckily hubby somtimes does that bit.
4)    You are very crafty. What piece of advice would you give to someone who sees themselves as a novice crafter trying to get better?
I would tell them never to give up, I don't consider myself an expert, but never give up and remember that because it did not turn out as you pictured, does not mean that it is wrong, it is just different, and it is not to thrown out, but showed and given with pride. The things that make, quite often do not turn out as you pictured they would be, sometimes they are better, and sometimes they are so different that you don't like them, but if you display them you'll be surprised how many people will give you good comments.
5)    Since Christmas was just yesterday, how was your Holiday? Do you celebrate big or small and intimate?
        We usually go small and intimate, but this year we are going big, and going out to one of the wine farms with wine club and my brother and sister in law for a spit barbecue and wine and lots of good company and music etc.
6)    What is on your list to do or accomplish in the new year?
        Well my company is doing well selling in the U.K. and would like to get it of the ground in South Africa, so we are earning in both places.
7)    Where do you want to see your Blog in the New Year?
        I would like to see my blog with at least maybe thirty followers by the end of January and being a blog that everyone likes to visit and feel loved and get information on things that may interest them and lead them on to the other blogs so they can follow there and give some love out.
8)    What is your favorite thing to do on a lazy day?
        On a lazy day I love to do some crafting and sitting and reading and maybe watch a good movie.
9)      Where is the furthest you've been from home?
          Well that one is easy, the furthest I have been from home is when I did a twelve week campiong tour round the U.S.A.
10)    My Signature Question:  Are you a member of Team Tea or the Coffee Crew?
          No I am not, but sounds interesting, how does one become a member?

Hello

Hi everyone,
This is just to say that I have not put all my makes on the home page, but in separate pages at the top, and hopefully this will make my blog work better. I am hopping that it will now stop doing it's funny things and behave.
Please come back and have a look and follow me again.
Thank you very much.
I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Love and best wishes.
Anne

Sorry Guy's Having to start again

Hi Everyone,
I am very sorry, but here we go I am having to start again.
I think the South African internet or my internet has something to do with this.Otherwise I am a complete idiot at this and keep doing something wrong, which ever I am now getting very irritated with myself.
This one had better work or else.
I hope that you all have a fantastic day.
Love and best wishes.
Anne
