Everyone is hot on the idea of spring cleaning. Personally, I would rather be outside enjoying the spring weather. But, cleaning must be done one way or the other. I found a way to make the chore of spring cleaning fun!
I pick a date, invite friends over for a Happy Spring Party – then I clean like crazy to be ready. Then the fun begins. I go out and find interesting spring coloured linens and flowers.
I challenge my friends to bring a spring themed food item and sit back to enjoy my clean house with my good friends.
Yes, I now look forward to spring cleaning every year.
Princess Diana Spare Wedding Dress
Did you know that Princess Diana had an extra wedding dress? Well neither did she! This information has just been released – but how thoughtful of the people who made her dress. This stunning backup dress was created just in case her original gown was made public before the big day.
We all know how stressful our upcoming weddings can be – but imagine having to worry about your gown being found out! I know some people think that the “Royals” are accustomed to this type of attention and let’s face it – hounding by the media. But really – to have to worry about your dress being seen before you get to wear it. My heart goes out to Kate.
