Welcome....

Welcome to 'Pretty Made's Fancy', the newest follower and member of our mini community here.  What a nice name to have for your blog - I will certainly be visiting again, it looks fascinating.  I really like the bed you have made.

I promised that I would also mention your giveaway on my blog and it is a great one!  Even though it will be drawn tomorrow (1st May) there is still time to enter.  It consists of two lovely components, a pretty veil

And also the bouquet shown in the photo below.  Aren't they lovely?  They'd certainly look good in my Bridal shop, that's for sure!  Though I am never fortunate when it comes to entering give-aways.  But I try.  One day maybe.

Today was my "baby's" birthday.  He was 23.  It is only yesterday that I was posting about him turning 22, and the memories of the drama of his birth 13 weeks early are still fresh in all our minds.  The 17 weeks that followed with him in NICU, undergoing 7 operations on his brain are also fresh in our mind, and again we give thanks to our Lord that He had His hand over Nathan all the way through.  Nathan went through many crises during that time and the next ten years, and he is truly a miracle child - well, I can't say child any more, can I lol?  We are more grateful than I could ever express for the joy our children have brought into our lives, including him.  And today was a chance for us to remember how fortunate we are, even though it was spent preparing for our trip.

I promise that I'll post some photos of the house soon - it was going to be tonight, but it is now midnight and time for bed.
