Jim and I were working together at the dining room table which is also used as a craft table, conference table and drafting board. LOL This day we were sharing the space. Jim was doing calculations on blueprints and I was putting some invitations together. These invitation were a great deal of fun to make. I used a screen door die cut kit from
Buffalo Stamps & Stuff.
I LOVE the way it turned out. We have invited 10 of my mother's girlfriends from high school. This group of lovely ladies have been gathering together on a regular basis for over 50 years! I was lucky enough to join them for a few of there parties and I so enjoyed the spirit and joy of friendships that have lasted over the years. They call themselves the Girls with the Grandmother faces. Jim and I with the help of a few of my favorite girlfriends are going to have a dinner party for them next week. I picked this image from
Phindy's Place because she looks just like me. :) Also, one of my favorite parts of our home is my screen door and I added a thin wood welcome sign. I hope they can tell just how thrilled we are to do this dinner party.
The wedding that I have been helping with asked if I could make one of my whimsical cake toppers. Of course I said, sure! They told me a bit about the characters they wanted and here they are. A teacher and a Buffalo Bills fan. They were made with polymer clay and baked as directed on the package.
The place cards were doubled as a thank you (on the back), and held up with wine corks. I sanded a flat edge so that they would stand easily and cut a slit into the other side of the cork. The bride had someone make these lovely wine charms that we tied on. I punched the corners with a fun edge punch and distressed the cards.
Just for the joy of looking at at rose I have include this wonderful scented rose.
This Gerber daisy was given to me by Rox and was planted in a special place to greet you when you come to visit.
