Here are pictures of the flowers and decor for my cousins wedding. Not a bad wedding gift if I do say so myself. She had a beautiful day and I am so happy for her!

Brittany's dad Charlie walked her down the aisle to Bob Marley.

Britt's parents, Uncle Charlie and Aunt Sherry hired a steel drums band for the reception. My cousin Morgan was the MOH. Sophie was the flower girl, but looked more like the bouncer in this picture. Ben and Joe were the ring bearers...but started laughing and giggling so hard they never made it past the first row of guest. Instead they ran a few hundred circles and ran back into the building. What a day!

My favorite picture also taken at the wedding is of my mom and her four sisters and my grandma Betty. Pictured left to right is: Aunt Julie, Mom (Janice), Aunt Gail, Aunt Donna, Aunt Rachel and Grandma Betty in the front.

Blushing Bride's

Hi again everyone. Missed you all! I have finally began to settle back into my crazy life. my summer was busy with moving from Minnesota to Washington D.C. and my cousin Brittany's wedding. I have been working on the stationary, flower and decor arrangements and bridal shower since last winter. I am pooped to say the least. The wedding was August 30th and was at the beautiful Loch Haven Lake in Roanoke, Virginia. I think I did a pretty good job helping her have a beautiful day! I am currently putting the finishing touches on my new craft room and will have some pictures of my "crib" soon.

Gifts

Hi everyone! I have had a super busy week! I finished a cards gift set for one of my friends and have been chasing around my three babies! Don't you just love spring...minus all the allergies and wacky weather! I just read Kathleen's blog and felt inspired to post another little diddy about what's been happening. Jayson is in D.C. now and house hunting. Wish us luck...Northern Virginia property prices are out of this world. I am here with the kiddos just trying to survive until Thursday. The card gift set I made was totally fun and I used a child's shoe box and went from there. I used all kinds of pretty papers and of course Stampin' Up!'s great card stock, rub-ons, inks, and punches.

picture frames continued....

Here are the rest of our projects and also the finalized save the date for my cousin Brittany. You may notice a sticker overload on the hunting frame and wonder..."why so many, less is more..." just note that I aim to please and my aunt loved the stickers...maybe there was something in the adhesive...who knows!

Picture frames and Glitter

My aunt and I also made these adorable picture frames for family. I had a lot of fun and still am removing glitter from every inch of my house. The 4-wheeler frame was one of the most interesting to do. I had to paint each of the pewter charms so they would match his 4-wheeler and gas can! For all these frames I used Stampin' Up!'s ink and a hodgpodge of paper and ribbons and of course my fav...Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Up! glitter! More pictures of the frames to follow!

Two weeks of Stampin and Scrappin'

Hi everyone! I have been so busy the past couple of weeks. My family and I are re-locating to D.C. in 44 days and my husband and I flew in my Aunt Rachel to help with the babies while I sorted, packed and worked on getting things ready for our move. After the babies were off to dreamland my aunt and I crafted until the wee hours of the morning most nights and these are the beautiful creations...gifts for cousins of mine and family!

2007 Wedding stuff

So here are a few photos of the Lewis' wedding last year. My best friend Anne married a great guy named Jimmy and I was called the "Long Distance Wedding Planner". I flew back to Virginia and made over 200 cupcakes and a surprise three tier polka dot wedding cake and I even made a special monogram topper from copper wire to match. I created the beautiful invites and helped in whatever capacity she needed...yeah...b/c I'm cool like that:)!! Anne and Jimmy wed on a very hot day, by the James River...Beautiful!!!
