Vintage Wedding

My DS's church wedding ceremony was traditional and sacred.

The reception was a big celebration.   It had a vintage theme in an elegant venue with music, dancing and laughter.

All the careful thought, planning and work made the evening magical.  I don't have a daughter-in-law... I have another daughter.   Have fun you two and live happily ever after.

Mason Jars, Pennants and More

This past weekend my future DIL had a bridal shower in her home town with her family and friends.   It was a vintage theme with lots of creative decorations.  Pennant signs were in every corner.  The most popular item was the mason jar filled with layered dry ingredients needed to make chocolate chip cookies (minus the wet ingredients).   Everyone received one for their shower favor.

This is the shower card I gave Emily

LIFE = 2 years sober

I sent this card to my nephew, Rhett, in recognition of his 2 year milestone of sobriety today. His family and friends are so happy that he chose life. He is planning to buy a home in the near future and that never would have happened if he was not sober. We are so proud of him. He wrote an email today and in it he said, "I remember Amelia today and how strong she was, she's my inspiration."
