What the postman put through our letterbox today!

A couple of weeks ago I began a dialogue with someone I had met through one of the groups I belong to (BBEST) whose shop is called Clingingimages.  Here you are able to purchase designer window clings with stained glass effects.  This seller has many in her shop but also enjoys custom designing.  This is exactly what I wanted.

We have a window half way up our stairs in which the previous occupants of the house had placed some clings.  These over the years had faded and, although still attractive, I wanted something more akin to our own taste with a design with our stamp on, so to speak.  After several communications to describe what I wanted, giving the dimensions etc I received an email with a selection of clings from which I could choose.  How cool was that?

My husband and I decided which one was our favourite and placed the order.  Without further ado the clings were produced to exactly the size I wanted and followed the description beautifully.  So, when they arrived today I just couldn’t wait to open up the envelope.

There, beautifully packaged with full instructions on how to apply, remove and care for the clings, were our new clings!  Straightaway, I cleaned the window panes so that they would be squeaky clean and allow me to place the clings carefully where I wanted them. 

I so enjoyed working on the ideas for these clings and this was made all the more enjoyable an experience with the great communications prior to settling on the final version.

Now to stand back and admire!

A very auspicious day!

You can't help but feel the electric excitement that is not only engulfing America but the world too! Today will be one of those days which we will all remember. Today, the 44th President of America is to be sworn in. That in itself is important. However, more importantly, this is the first time that a black American has had the opportunity to enter the White House. I remember, not too long ago, all the demonstrations we followed on the news about the troubles in America. To think that a few years down the road the picture has changed. There will be many who are still alive and remember the dark days. Today, there is enlightenment for all of us, not just America! A new hope and a new adventure.

There will be many problems inherited and many more to solve but with resolution, integrity and a new hope these will be overcome in one way or another.

I tried to see if any of a team I am passionate about had any items to commemorate this special event and found the follow:
