So Very Blessed
Wednesday, September 08, 2010
Yep, yesterday was my birthday. One more year older, and feeling so very blessed. It was a great day...low-key and calm. Nathaniel and Natalie snuck out early and brought me my favorite breakfast croissant from the donut shop. MMMM...what a special treat!
Levi and I enjoyed a relaxing day at home. It was cloudy and rainy throughout the day which is perfect for me...a great gift from God. I love those kinds of days...I feel energized when it's raining outside. It's a good thing because I was behind on the chores, specifically the laundry. The mountain had been mocking me, so I set out to tackle it yesterday. I believe I did six or seven loads, but I am happy to report we all have clean socks to wear!
Last night, we enjoyed family dinner at home, complete with chicken-apple hot dogs. They may sound bad, but they are really yummy!
It was a great day...the blessings abound. I am healthy and happy and blessed.

Wedding Preparations
Tuesday, September 07, 2010
My baby sister is getting married! She has found her Mr., and they will tie the knot in October. Yes, I know October is coming soon. That means we have lots and lots of things to do. This last weekend, my family all converged at my house to work on wedding stuff. We worked hard, and we worked all weekend long, but it was fun, and in my opinion we got lots done!
We made the list for the caterer, decided on table centerpieces, we made over 80 decorated jar candle-holders, and we decided on serving pieces for the food. The list could go on! My job this weekend was to create the bridal party bouquets. We aren't using flowers, so it wasn't as easy as walking into the florist and picking some flowers. I made 7 bouquets using buttons, beads, pins, rhinestones, felt, toole, ribbon, and paper. Are you wondering what I ended up with? Take a look:
And here are all 7 together on a display rack:
The fabric on the outside is felt flowers, complete with a different center for each one! The pictures don't really do them justice because I think they turned out beautifully...even though I did make them myself!
I hope they are exactly what Kellye wants, and that her day is a beautiful representation of the love she will share with her beau forever.
On a side note, I absolutely LOVE crafting and creating. I love taking an idea and making it a reality. I love working on a project, and seeing it complete! I've got to find a way to cash in on my fun!
