More Wedding Favors

Happy Thanksgiving everyone....I am having a beautiful, relaxed morning with my boys and my brother. My hubby has a nice turkey in the oven and my pudding pie is in the fridge. I can't wait!!

So this pic is one of Jacqueline's center pieces for the guests tables. The wedding party's table is going to be set up a little different, big candle sticks y-todo!! I'll get pic's out of that when the big day comes...


These are a few more wedding favors that are made up.

I have right now 70 made up. I am ready to break out with more today! If I have enough candy, it'll be 100 more finished, oh plus 21 more candy canes....then i'll need 9 more favors!!!!

These are mint flavored mnm's...Oh and on all the favors, there is space for Jacqueline to write "Curtis and Jacqueline Baldwin, 2008" which I'm sure will just float her boat....

So as you can see, I am trying to put out more than a few different types of wedding favors for Jacqueline's wedding. I have 2 more weeks to get these all done. PRAY FOR US!!

Christmas Boutique

Hi, I just wanted to do a quick post to put some new pic's out for you all to roll through. I hope that these are inspiring to you at some point in you life. I have some images in my head that I would try at some time or another. Like a picture collage using a cupcake pan for the frame. Pic's go back inside the cupcake part and everything else is decorated...and a shadow box turned into a paper wonderland with snowmen riding down the snow hills...

We could all dream that we have the time to play like this, can't we? So here is this shoe. I made one cause they are pretty time consuming if you want them to come out perfect. But because of the ooohs and ahhhs, i thought it was worth it. So i'm on the comp now trying to find the template for it and I CAN'T FIND IT!!! Does anyone have any idea where it is? Here is a wooden box, painted and stamped and decopodged with masks that were delicately trimmed out of a magazine by my son and his girlfriend. They didn't have anything to do one day, so being the mother that i am, i put them to work. I said here you go, do a good job! and they did....

Here are some boxes with slides to close the box, some paint cans, a button bouquet, a triangle box, some trinket drawers, and some small office calendars.

Oh and by the way, my daughter didn't pick the sword. It's okay, i was 50/50 on that one myself! Cool, for a 10 year old giving it to his father but not for my daughter's wedding.....

God Bless You All!!! See Ya!

Here are the first wedding favors

So Jacqueline, and whoever else is looking, can you tell what this is? It's kinda hard to make but is it worth it?

But these, OHHHH! I don't have to ask about these. They are BEE-U-TEE-FULLLL!! Totally Christmas....

Jacqueline's Bouquets

These are the bouquets that I am making for my daughter's wedding. It's a Rennasance (sp?) Christmas Wedding. The colors are red, green, gold and silver. For these next pic's, you have to tilt your head so that the beads could be dangling at the bottom of the arrangement. So this red one is Adrianna's...she's special! And this is Alex holding this arrangement away from him. But this is a bridesmaid (sp?) bouquet. There are 3 total of these.

And in this pile, one of them is the Maid of Honor's Bouquets. I made hers a little longer at the bottom.

Here you go Mija!! These are all ready to go. I just have to pack them up. Now next I have to get my nerves together to do yours! OHHHHHH! I'm nervous for that one so I am NOT going to rush it....

Some Pic's From Our Christmas Boutique

Here is a good picture from my our Christmas Boutique. My sister and I put it together. It was a nice one except I think we got rained out. But we still had a lot of fun getting together and visiting with the few customers that we did have. This pile of cards is what was left after about 10 cards were sold. The next two snaps shots are kinda blurry so you might want to click on this and scroll around for a better view... I think the envelope might have caused this blurriness? I don't know but you can still see the color palletes....

I hope you have a day off today and God Bless our Veterans!!! We thank you all for serving our country in this wonderful way....

Merci Card

Here is a card that was soo fun to make. I love doing the sponging technique sometimes cause you can't really imagine what your card is going to come out like when you start. Then you get going and it usually turns out beautifully! I hope the girls keep doing this effect and get the same excitement I get with the outcome.

Enjoy your weekend and may God bless you!!
