Wedding Center Pieces

Here is what I made for my daughter's wedding center piece for each of the 25 tables since we couldn't use candles. I made 32 of them for the wedding, I am finally done with wedding stuff except curling ribbon will be placed all around the center piece and table. Each place at the table will have a fan and a wedding favor tin with mints in it.

Wedding Items


Here is the Fan we made for my daughter's wedding of the Wedding Party, on the flip side I used a cuttlebug folder , the tins I used the SU Scallop punch, the 1 3/4" round punch, and the Thank you was from a retired SU set called Brides and Babies. I filled the tins with pastel dinner mints (all 200 tins) and made 200 fans! After I got these made I made 32 center pieces, we found the idea in a DIY Wedding book that we found at Joann Fabrics. We had to come up with something besides candles since where she is getting married can' burn candles.

She's All That (in Mellow Moss)


I decided to make this card in mellow moss instead of the pink passion I did for my daughter's bridal shower card. I really like the colors better but she has hot pink for her colors of her wedding so we used pink. It is a lot preattier in real life.

Happy 4th of July


Went to my friends "Lake House". We had a great time. We had a BBQ, visited with friends and family, even met some new friends. We had a nice relaxing day.
Here is a picture from their kitchen window that I took a couple of years ago...what a lovely site! This picture was taken during the winter so you can image how lovely it was in July. (didn't have my camera with me, hope someone else took lots of pictures to share with me!)
Rick (Papa) took the kids canoeing, they had fun! They especially enjoyed the part of him flipping the canoe at the end of the ride. Yes after 2 hours of perfect canoeing he let everyone out of the canoe and reached for the dock and he flipped himself out of the canoe! After that he decided to swim across the lake and jump from a rope that hangs out over the lake. The 3 kids (5 years old and younger) loved watching him swing from that rope! Now he gets a new cell phone and eye glasses out of the deal!
