wedding flowers for Christa & Lars

Me and my sister, Katie, had a very busy weekend! we did the wedding flowers for one of the most beautiful wedding I've seen in a long time! I just loved the way they did the lighting in the tent, and the natural beauty of the surroundings made it perfect for an outdoor wedding! It was a lot of fun to do the flowers for this wedding... lots of work, but fun too!

She had 20 tables under the tent, and the bridal table



this was a centerpiece on the bridal table



and this was a centerpiece on one of the other tables

the bridal table... so pretty!

this was the isle- It was so naturally beautiful it
didn't really need much decor. We just did 4 hanging poms
that hung from shepards hooks, and the two urns at the front.


these were the two urns at the front... I didn't get any shots of the
bouquets or the hanging poms, but maybe I can grab some from
someone else who was there... (hint, hint...anyone?)


so that was what I've been doing for the past several days!

And today I get to go hang out at my nephews/Godchilds 1st birthday party-

The perfect end to a busy week!

Happy Holidays.... ?

I'm not sure why I've been thinking about Christmas lately... maybe because school is starting soon. Maybe because we exchanged Christmas names with my family... or maybe just because I LOVE Christmas and everything that goes with it! It's my favorite time of the year :o) So I went and found some of the cards I made last year and I thought I'd share them

Tylias birthday: PRICELESS!

Birthday cake, balloons, streamers: $25

Hannah Montana pinata filled with candy: $20

dozens (and I mean DOZENS) of water balloons, all filled by me: $2

Seeing the joy and happiness on my first born daughters face on her special day:

PRICELESS!

we celebrated Tylias 8th birthday on Saturday and it was a fun day! We had the typical cake and ice cream and party food. There were balloons, filled with both helium and water, there was a pinata and there was lots of fun to be had!

Tylia asked her Grampa for a special birthday present... a ride on his Harley. And of course he said yes!

I can't believe she's already 8... it seems like the years have flown by WAY too fast! I can't imagine what the next 8 will be like... I'm praying they won't go by as fast, but I'm thinking they'll go faster!

Happy birthday, Matix!

Last night we went to our nephews 1st birthday party... I can't believe he's 1 already! It seems like he was born just a few months ago!

It looks like he and Brielle love each other so much in this pic doesn't it? But about 3 seconds after I took this photo she pinched his arm and he slapped her on the head!! Someday they'll be friends!

This is the gift I made for him. It matches his room... I liked the way it turned out. On the bottom it says "Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak, but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me!

Happy 1st birthday, Matix... May God bless you

in this coming year and always... we love you!

I made this scrapbook page with this weeks sketch from 52 sketches, 52 weeks- these pictures were from easter... Brielle was such a cutie in her new clothes!

And with the scraps I made this birthday card for my nephew

who's first birthday party is this week!

Oh and sorry about the long break... our family was on a little vacation this past week. It was a family reunion for my husbands family... pics soon to come!

Oh baby!

Of all the creative "things" I do, my favorite has to be baby announcements! Theres something about being a small part of a precious new life being announced to the world... it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside- and I just love looking at all the beautiful baby pics, too! Here are some of them that I've made in the last year:

And these ones are of our own little princess, Brielle

pink polka dots

I made this bridal shower invitation recently. I love the look of vintage pink polka dots... I guess its a good thing I have three girls! I've always wanted to decorate one of their bedroooms in this style... someday :o)
