A Royal wedding ... I must take a moment to reflect back to my youth and the streets of  London...It was a family of six, equipped with their view boxes. Royal groupies ...as it were, among the noted 650,000 curbside spectators. That glorious summer my parents had been given a flat in London, the only stipulation had been if they were to go they must take the children. 

It was an amazing adventure, one I shall never forget . 

At the announcement of William and Kate's engagement, I happen to suggest that my family attend THIS wedding. The family all looked at me like I was a nut and absolutely crazy...I am sure after they witness the incredible 24 hour news coverage one of my 4 bright stars will admit that going to London might not have been such a bad idea after all. 

 As the years passed since my memorable trip, I always had  a strong connection to the royal family and particularly to Diana. Tonight on the eve of this royal event ...all the world will stop and pause for a brief moment and marvel at the future King of England, a son of a Princess ,who has achieved his mother's dream.

"Spring is a gift to our spirit and our creativity. The wealth of inspiration that comes from this wonderful time of year is unlimited. After the gray days of a long winter, we welcome the fresh air, the warm sun, and all of the beautiful flowers that unexpectedly bloom. What better incentive to create and decorate!
