Keith and Lisa Wedding Day

Our oldest son Keith got married yesterday to a wonderful young woman that I am so proud to call my Daughter. It was a beautiful day for a wedding. They had pictures taken at a local park and then at the church. The photographer was a friend of Lisa's. We are impatiently waiting for them to be finished. My DH and her father did the honors of marrying them. It was a small ceremony with just family and a few friends attending. We then went to Pino's a local Italian restaurant for the reception. We do have a few pictures that my DH and Megan Lisa's sister took and she has also edited them. They are the ones that I would like to share here.

If you are my friend or family on facebook you can see all of them in my photos.








Thanks for letting me be a proud Mom

So Excited

I'm so excited Keith and Lisa are getting married next weekend Sept 19th. It is going to be here at our church and her dad and my DH are going to do the ceremony. Ethan's Lisa's and Amanda's sister's boy is celebrating his 6th birthday the 18th so they decided to get married the next day since we are all going to be together. It will just be family but we are so excited for them. Lisa is everything that I could hope for in a wife for my son.

I made several wall hangings and I would like to share three with you today.

Celebrating

Today my best friend and love of my life are celebrating 38 years of marriage. There isn't a day that I haven't thanked God for bring Jim into my life. He has been there for me thorough sickness and death of my mother and Grandparents. He was there for all the good times and all the bad and I love him more today than the day we said I do. I hope that my kids all have the same experience with their love ones. We are in Tennessee at a Ministerial conference with Dave and Cheryl and having a wonderful time.
Hope you are having a great day for I am.

My Try AT What I Learned From Michelle

This card is one of the cards that I have created using a brayer and the technique that I learned from Michelle. I really love the look that you can get from this technique. This reminds me of a California sunset, we lived in the San Francisco Bay area for 18 yrs and loved every minute of it.

This card is on Stampin Up card stock. The flourish stamps are Martha Stewart, the Palm tree is from Innovative Stamp Creations. the elements and inks are from Stampin up.


This card is using the same technique, this one reminds me of the area where my mothers family lived in Idaho not far from Sun Valley Lodge. In fact my grandfather and his oldest kids (which is my mother and his son) fell and got the logs out of this area for the Lodge at Sun Valley. They cut the trees with what is called a two man saw and dragged them out with horses. They also got a lot of the logs out for Ernest Hemingway's home in Sun Valley. My grandparents, my mother and her brother have passed but we have a strong heritage.

This card is on Stampin Up cardstock, used there inks and brads. The stamps are from Innovative Stamp Creation. Ribbon is from Big Lots and peeloffs from the UK. I really enjoyed making these cards. I have a long way to go before I am any where near as good as Michelle but it sure is fun practicing. I am taking her advanced class the end of August. I can hardly wait.

I hope everyone is having a great day

Donalda
