Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Mel's Bridal Shower!

I was so excited to be able to help host a Bridal Shower for my good friend Melissa last month!

It was so much fun putting together these goodies:

The shower was "Kitchen" themed, so I went for prizes that would go well in the Kitchen, soaps, lotions, candle and notepad set and two handmade aprons! I fell in love this this First Corinthians tissue paper at Hallmark, so I lined a basket I had laying around with it for some extra presentation flair!

I also made Strawberry Jam for favors. Then I used the cricut to cut card stock circles out and then used my favorite flower stamps to emboss the tops in her colors, purple and green. Very joyful! The card topper just sits between the lid and the ring. Then finished it all off with a little ribbon around the ring in a coordinating purple ribbon.

Here are the lovely people who won the aprons. I asked them each to pose for a photo:These aprons are the easiest things and out of fat quarters- who doesn't have a few of those laying around their sewing basket?? Using my serger, it takes longer to iron and cut the fabric than it does to actually sew it...
Look at all that loot girl! Somewhere in there was an ice cream maker and a crock pot- two things she really wanted!

Ryan: I just want you to know, you are marrying this:That's some "sisterly" love there :)
Finally, a serious pose with the Bride-to-be and her two bridesmaids.

I'm really looking forward to the wedding! Happy Bridal Shower to Melissa!!
