Still no final Swirly Hues page but it is getting there.

Ok so i have managed to do very little actual scrapping again over the past few days. Exhaustion and some diabetes issues have put a rather large dent in things and then the weather decided to go and play unhappy bears and begin raining, thundering, storming and flooding. All of course just to keep us on our toes. 

The current page which i am attempting to complete for the Swirlyhues Challenge over at Swirlydoos, is about half done, but as usual the weather is that bad i cant even get a half decent sneak peek pic of it.. so you will all have to wait and pray that the sun comes out for a few hours so it can be finished and photographed. 

Now a word of advice when it comes to family weddings.... RUN.... and Run very very fast not letting on to anyone that you have any organisational or artistic talent whatsoever!!! Ok now this may seem a bit drastic but going off experience at hand i have so far come to the conclusion that designing wedding schemes for prospective brides is almost as difficult as attempting to catch clouds and bottle them. Not to mention the time it actually takes you away from the scrap table! - I suppose it wouldn't be half as much a battle if everything wanted to attempt to run on time and on plan, however, so far of the 5 venues we have attempted to book, one is being demolished a week before the wedding, one is being sold and redeveloped three weeks before the wedding, the roof has fallen in on another and they are now up for renovating, the fourth wants to charge a room hire supplement fee of 5 times the cost of the wedding reception because we would be 3 numbers short of their requirements, and the final is almost a shed in the middle of a farm with no accommodation nearby, dirt entrances and very poor hygiene facilities. So that is the beginnings of the trouble for the wedding planning. Add in two very distinctly different personalities, with, questions like do we actually need to test the cake? and you can see wedding planning is not for the faint hearted!!! 

So without further adieu i shall head back off to the scrap room and go bury my head in some paper while i try to diligently finish this page which is awaiting my return. 

Now if anyone knows of a local cake maker who operates in the Wyndham Vale / Werribee area of Victoria, Australia who can do specialty multi tiered wedding cakes, made in the brides choice of Royal Icing coverage, at a reasonable price, please do send me a message! All recommendations would be highly appreciated!

Thanks for visiting now! 

Take Care, Kindest Regards
