A nation together

So who watched it then, the royal wedding? 
I was amazed at the amount of people who were in London yesterday, and the amount that must have been sat at home watching it.
I watched it, we ended up getting together as a family, my Uncle, Aunt, Nan, Grandad and us 4, all crowded around the tele watching it. Well, I say us 4, James watched part of it then went off to watch/do something else. Wasn't it incredible!! I wasn't expecting to watch it all and feel the way I did about it, but it felt such a special and momentous occasion, the thought that we have just watched a completely normal young woman marry into the royal family. My favourite part, although I never actually saw it, I have just seen little clips and photos, I loved the drive back down the mall in the Aston Martin. The reason I loved it, they looked like a completely normal and everyday couple, that's the sort of thing anyone would do, and it was so great to see :)
It was a very strong reminder yesterday that really, anything is possible. Kate will have grown up, very much like me and many others including some of you, playing dressing up, putting on a tiara, pretending to be a princess, watching Disney films (well, that isn't very me as I'm not a big Disney fan). It just goes to show that we don't know our future, we don't know who we'll stumble into, and which of our dreams may very well come true. They both looked so happy, so joyous, and what a wedding, she can't have ever expected a wedding like that, not in her wildest dreams when she was younger. So, congratulations to them both, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge :)

So, onto some crafting. On Thursday night, I added a girl to the bright background I made about a week ago. I am very pleased with her, here she is

 As the backgroun was very bright I felt it called for a very summery girl, wearing a summer outfit. So I gave her a vest top and demin shorts.

I attempted sunglasses and I am very pleased with them. I used a canvas another member of the class had done for inspiration for the hair, then created some sunglasses to sit up in her hair. I love the words I have written on the canvas, something I really believe in, they read 'True beauty comes from within'.

So, I hope you like her. :D

Bye for now,
