Storybook Wedding


I think each little girl dreams of her

Wedding Day

and I was no exception.
Elaborate, or on a budget,
it can be Perfect!

My dear mom made all the bridesmaid dresses,
and helped me plan my special wedding day.

We met in August and we were married December 28, 1972,
almost 38 years ago.





I did a post last December about my
Red Plaid Wedding.

If you'd like to re-live it with me,
I invite you take a ride in the time machine.



And so began our lives together.
Joined together and kept together by God.
Without Him
we would never have found our way.






We were so young and really didn't know each other very well,
We just knew we were meant... yes,
 ordained to be together.



We have two darling daughters,
that their Daddy has walked down the aisle,
just like mine so many years ago.

And they lived happily ever after...






Please join Stephanie and all the Brides,
old and young,
at
for all the Wedding fun!

Look Familiar?


Do you know where we are?


Yes, we're back in the studio.




And I have a confession to make.




I wasn't happy with the way my photos turned
out for the party last weekend.



If you remember, my walls were gold;
a great color for my kitchen,
but my studio...not so much.



I'd been wanting to paint in here,
since the paint bug bit me.


But I didn't know if we could move the heavy computer desk.(?)



We had our kids here over the weekend,
and since 30 year old backs are stronger than %* year old backs,
we had some help with the furniture.



So I decided to jump in and go for it.
I hate to waste paint,
and I had a gallon left over from the
 Dining Room extravaganza!




Ta Da!!


no more gold.
just my favorite creamy white.



Like I said, I'm happy (for now) with my kitchen color.
I was so inspired with all the great studio spaces,
I just was ready for the change.



I'm soooo much happier.


Everything looks so much better against this light and fresh wall color.




Even Baby is happy!!




Thank you, Kathleen,
for giving us an endless inspiration
of whites!


And thank you, Cindy for Show and Tell
