Mothers Day 2011

Happy Mothers Day to Everyone. I had a very good day with my family. Had dinner with the hubby, kids, mom, Larrys parents, brother ,sister in law, and their kids. Missing was Larrrys sister and Coreys girlfriend River.

Last week I decided that I would make something for all the moms in my life. I made Sugar scrub it was very easy ( but don't tell  LOL ) I love the Bath and Body works version but mine is much cheaper and works just as well !! GREAT to shave legs with !!!

Hope your weekend was great and looking forward to a GREAT week ahead,

Wedding shower decorations

 know this shower was  a week ago I have just got pics up loaded . Life keeps getting in my way .

 I did this shower for a couple from church. Her colors were pink and brown. I started with the banner with  those colors in mind. But then aftrer reading blogs and being inspired I wanted to use the pom pom flowers in bright colors so now my delima was pulling brown into the table and back drop. I hung ribbons with the bride and grooms name on them. in pink and brown. The night before the shower I decided I wanted to make dipped marshmellows ( just to add a little more brown to the table ) so the box was covered with handmade crape paper from plastic table cloths ( and finished 10 mins before the shower)so much for being prepared!! But the final touch that was needed Everyone loved them !!

GOD IS GOOD

Today my oldest  longest time friend had a double mascotomy CANCER SUCKS !!! ( BUT GOD IS STRONGER !!!
But all went well and Donna is doing great , they were able to start reconstruction and put in 1/3 fill !! this means not being cut on again and  a shorter road to the "stripper boobs" as they are affecitionaly being refered to as now.
Suzie had to be at home with the babies as Lindsey is having contractions so I was unable to be there for the surgery but went to the hosiptal as soon as I could after work. It was wonderful to see her doing so well and so aleart. We talked and talked. I am so  glad I was able to visit with her all alone I am selfish like that !!LOL
I see a pink , Survivor scrapbook in our future !

I have laughed, cried , and learned so much in the last few days just reading the blogs. There are so many talented people out there.

Today, Larrys work has left me alone so I am off to SHOP !! I don't have any money or really need anything but I also don't want to clean house so I will shop. I want to check out some thrift shops today to try out some of the new things I have learned on blogs.

New photo Group

Started a new group this week at Lets scrap, Photography. I am super excited ! Got my camera last year and have been trying to learn how to really use it to the fullest but can't figure out by reading the instructions so I am hoping this class ( group) helps. I want to learn more so I can produce better scrapbook pages but more than that so my children and grandchildren will have a good (not blurry and with heads intact LOL) veiw of the world through my eyes.
Stay turned for more to come !

This week I went above and beyond "using you stash" I was asked to make deorations for the Spring Creek Church Potato Craft Fundraiser a siliant auction event /baked potato bar lunch . They decided that they were tired of the flower deco that we usally had so the idea was placed to do potato woman, mother was in that meeting, the next thing I know I am getting a call and she is saying ."Well we decided to do something differant this year, and I am at Walmart buying th stuff now to make Potato women, but I have something both nights before the event on Sat so can I bring this stuff by work for you and you make them" I am not good at telling mom no, so I start brain storming....... ok I started freeting but ...... fast forward to 7"00 that night I find my self at the scrapbook table working with potatos and paper,material, ribbons, boas, ect.... all day Friday the mind kept going forward. Mom wasw summoned to see the completed works . She laughed as much as I had making them. I grow attached to these "women" very quickly, I named them and made sure they were dressed to fit their personalities.
The one pictured here was names Mrs Spudvavoon , my daughter in love even had the nerve to say she looked just like me !!! Whatever !! : }}}
Next year we will have the same event but the plan is to have a Beauty Pagent with everyone making their own entry ... Oh I cant wait !!
