A very busy day but a wonderful day, especially for Izzy. Today was spectators day at her swimming class and today was a momentous occasion, as Izzy swam for the first time without her armbands!! We have been trying to encourage her for weeks, and her instructor just pulled them off. She swims so much better and also has a fantastic arm movement which was lost with her armbands on. The afternoon was followed with Panto at our local theatre, Jack and the Beanstalk, what a giggle we all had. Followed the night with a MacDonalds (yuck, but the girls love them) as a treat and to let Izzy know how proud we are.
Tomorrow i fly out to Newcastle for an appointment with my back surgeon on Monday. Will be staying with Karen and Kevin and hopefully meet up with Gillian. As always a flying visit but one i need so desperately. These 2 woman are very important in my life. I have known them both for over 11 years and they have seen me through all my ups and downs, tears and tantrums, and are both God mother to our girls. So, very special people. I know how hard moving away has been for us all, and last year my contact was not as frequent as it should have been, 2007 I must make a better effort, I cannot loose these 2 people in my life, I love them very very much.
OK gushing over, while i mop up my keypad, shame i cant tell them this face to face, and have to do it here on my blog , hoping they may read it, stupid i know but so much easier to write here, thinking this is my own private space that no ones reads.
Do you forget that strangers actually read these thoughts and emotions? I must admit i do forget some days, and i read back over my old blog entries and think, "God i shouldn't have said that" but i have, and have bared all, well nearly all ;).
So back to this weekend. OO forget to tell you my new passport came today, yipee. I will post both my passports Monday for you to giggle at, christ i have aged in 15 years!!, well worth the wait.

I have completed my Pencil Lines challenge. I was completely stumped at first with this weeks sketch, after browsing my photos it all fell into place and I love my sketch. I have wanted to scrap these photos since last July and I am really happy I have, thanks to the wonderful GDT we have this week. Don't forget to pop over tomorrow night to catch the new sketch. i am leaving you with a sneek peek.
Have a lovely weekend everyone see you Monday

Way to go on baring your soul to complete strangers! At least they're not likely to pass judgement or take offence like the odd significant other might!!
