Diana' s Space

Self Portrait Saturday!

Hi folks found a little spare time today and have two not very good pics. They are both very busy and the light is not good... What the heck here they are!!!

Yes I do have a little very pink hair. It was done yesterday. I cannot wait to see my DDs reaction. She may say "ok mum, think you should wear your wig this holiday"!!!!

I am staying with my dear friend Roz (Wild Roze) until I fly to England on Monday. Two more sleeps Woo Hoo and then I flyyyyyy....

Thanks for visiting and love from Di!!! XXX

.... and so this is Christmas....

"This time of year calls for December environments - cosy being one of them. Find cosy in your space. The rest of the week will focus on these words: chilly, christmas, card, celebrate (all "C's" too!)"

I have been blessed this year. I attended a 'Christmas concert' at the same little school I visited about 15 years ago when I saw my Godchildren (Kelly and Matthew)  participate in the Christmas concert.

This year I attended with my friend Roz. I am staying in her home before leaving for England. Going to the concert brought back so many memories. Here are some new Christmas memories....

 

I guess that some of you who live in England do not always appreciate what it has been like living in South Africa. Just 10 years ago we had apartheid! Now we have children of all colours growing up together and not noticing their differences!

We still have so many poor children with nothing but times are changing. Think I have to CRY now....

I am blessed so see all these children together in the country that my parents brought me too as a privileged WHITE person just 14 years old; a very long time ago!

Woo Hoo ... and so this IS Christmas....

I'm back in Cape Town for a few days!

Morning all!!!  I have another busy week preparing for my trip to England and tying up loose ends here in CapeTown.

Out for dinner tonight with my friends Roy and Roz.

Lunch with Caz's "in laws" tomorrow.

I have to fit in doctor and dentist to get all my records.

Hairdresser and nails on Friday - a little pampering!!!

Scrapping with the 'Divas' on Thursday night - I have no stash so have no idea what I will do!

Barbecue with friends on Sunday.

Fly to England on Monday... Woo Hoo only 6 more sleeps!!!

Wow How do I get chilly in the middle of summer. I will need to think out the box for this one LOL. And here it is!

Thanks for visiting and remembering me

This is my COSY new home!!!

Had a hectic last week or so finishing the packng, moving to Johannesburg and unpacking. We worked so hard and I am now SHATTERED!!! All of my bedroom boxes and clothes are unpacked, and this is my COSY new bedroom!

All of my living room boxes are unpacked and this is my new living room

My Angel Christmas tree is also up but all of my angels are still not unpacked as they are in my Christmas decoration box which is NOT unpacked.

And now it's back to business. I will be responding to the prompts on HS:MS again from tomorrow. I have missed you all SOOO much!!!

Woo Hoo I am back and have a new home

Morning all.

Well I am literally in my new home in Johannesburg! The packers arrived on Monday and delivered my furniture on Thursday the 29th. I cannot say that I am organised but all of my bedroom and living room boxes are unpacked!. The studio is looking great but so far I have not unpacked any of my crafty stuff!!!

And I have a new home for my blog! We migrated my blog, Caz's blog and IACW http://itsacreativeworld.typepad.com/its_a_creative_world/ yesterday with very few hiccups. It did take quite a while to edit all the posts and setup the 'categories' (labels on blogger).

I have missed you all but should be back with the daily prompts by Tuesday.

The last 2 weeks have been really hectic and I must admit I have not even visited your blogs. All I seem to have been doing is getting to know typepad and working out how to get all our buttons and flickr's on. And testing how to migrate our posts from blogger to typepad! So if anyone is considering the move - I have lots of the answers.

So glad to be back!

Thanks for visiting me and love as always from Di XXX
