Wedding Flowers Mood Board!

Choosing the floral designs for my daughter's wedding has been the most fun for me.  Here are some of my inspirations:
Votive candles hung from frosted silver branches, which stemmed from large floral base of garden roses, cabbage roses, hypericum berries, and clusters of round, silver ornaments.Tables were decorated with one of three centerpieces: a high arrangement, a medium arrangement, and a low arrangement. Each design featured hydrangea. Because the museum wouldn’t allow candles with real flames, Kristyn created a glowy vibe with LED candle...

Save the Dates!

Needless to say, I am obsessed with weddings, since my daughter is getting married in November and I'm doing most of the planning..  My obsession has led me to the magazine, The Knot and their website, www.theknot.com/.  There are thousands of picutres for inspiration and lots of ideas for DIY projects.  This is where I found a great idea for Save the Date cards.  They show the personality of the couple and they were cheap!
It all started with this picture I took at The State Fair of Teaxs, before they were engaged.  I snapped them being silly and when I started seaching for picutres for this project, I knew I had found the perfect one.
You see the groom grew up on a dariy farm. Haha.

This was such an easy project.  I took the photo and up loaded it to Kinkos and had it turned into a postcard.
I ordered a custom made stamp from Simon Stamps with all the information that I wanted, and just stamped it in place.
        I chose some stamps that coordinated with the wedding invitations and ink in the wedding colors of grey and different colors of green.  I got these at Michael's and Hobby Lobby.
I stamped the design around the message in a casual way and the project was finished!                                                                             
I love the way they turned out.  The cards are fun and different and show what a fun couple they are. Yay, go me!

Fabulous Fabric!


Wow, I really love this fabric by Amy Butler,www.amybutlerdesign.com, so fresh and modern but with a nod to tradition.  I want it, now!


I would love to use these first 2 fabrics in a baby girl's room, with grey walls and white furniture- how fun.  Now I just need a baby girl in the family!

     



Gosh, I love this fabric!  I am picturing curtains in a kitchen or bathroom.


 This fabric just screams dining room curtains to me!
Pillows for sure!

This fabric was the actual inspiration for my daughter's wedding(an earlier post).

Gone with the Wind!

Happy 75th Anniversary...........What a love story.
Scarlett: I only know that I love you.
Rhett Butler: That's your misfortune
Scarlett: Fiddledee dee


Rhett Butler: [to Scarlett] Open your eyes and look at me. No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing badly
Scarlett: I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.



Scarlett: Tara! Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get him back. After all... tomorrow is another day
Scarlett: As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.
