Sympathy Card

Hi ladies,

Well Jessica & I had a very busy day Thursday & didn't get home till 8 pm. We had a bad time with her veil yet again, but this time my daughter was so upset she ended up crying, poor thing, I felt so bad for her. She bought her veil at David's Bridal, she loves this veil. It's a mantilla with lots of lace, pearls on the lace, not cheap either. Well anyway her dress is ivory so she got the ivory, when we went to look at her dress & she put it on it ended up being too dark it didn't match, so we went to the store & exchanged it for the white one (no other choice & her dress is light ivory). So when she went for the fitting Thursday this veil was too white, she didn't want to give it up cause she just loves this veil, so the saleslady at the store where she bought her dress told her they had a mantilla that's not as fancy & they could make it almost like hers but minus the beads. So before ordering this we needed to find out if we could get our money back. I called David's Bridal & no refunds all sales are final, they did come out with a new color called "Light Ivory" great that one should match but its NEW won't arrive for 12 weeks, her wedding is in 6 weeks...ugh!!! Nothing they can do so come in & try other veils, I told Jessica lets go back to the store, another 35 minutes away (we were there in the morning getting my shoes) & see what we can do & she just lost it & cried! Anyway we went back there & the lady that we first had that helped us at the very beginning when we were looking for gowns helped us out. She went into the computer & looked all over to see if we could maybe track one. GUESS What? She found one in the WHOLE ENTIRE COUNTRY in Burbank California! Now she called to see if they would part with it, since it is the newest color that was the only one in any store & yes they were going to help us out & ship it to Massachusetts for Jessica! Thank God for Patti the sales woman that we had who is one terrific compassionate woman!!! So the veil is on its way & we should have it next week. Jessica's stressful day turned out well after all. My poor daughter ended up with a headache after all this, like she said, she did everything early so that she didn't have to stress about anything but 6 weeks before the wedding this had to happen. It all turned out great, so keep your fingers crossed, this one should match cause its in between the two shades we already tried. Like Jessica said no matter what she is using this one she doesn't care what it looks like! So sorry that I went on so much & burned your ear off, I just had to let you know what our day was like!

Okay, now onto my card. I needed a sympathy card last week & came up with this design, I like the way it turned out. So until tomorrow or Monday take care & enjoy the weekend! Thanks for stopping by today & listening to my ramblings!

Pregnant Bella Card!


Hi everyone,

It's a beautiful day here, the sun is out & its not too hot, its just right, now that's my kinda weather! Hope your having a great day & spending some of it outside, as for me I'm going to go upstairs after this post & finish cleaning my room & the bathroom upstairs today. Then maybe, just maybe if I'm not too tired I will wash the windows in Jessica's old bedroom. Well enough of that & on to my card.

I made this card for Danielle (one of the bridesmaids) she found out a few weeks ago that she is pregnant...how wonderful is that? I was so excited for her & wanted to make a card to send to her, I knew she would appreciate it. She loved it!!! Congrats to both you & Andy! I was really happy the way this card turned out, so enjoy. I'm also posting a card that my friends daughter made for Jessica's shower. Sandi needed a shower card & asked her daughter to make one for her & it is gorgeous, so I thought I would share it with you. Have a great day & thanks for visiting today, I really enjoy your company! Come again!

What a beautiful gate card, I luv those hearts! Thanks Janis for making this wonderful card for your mom to give Jessica! She loved it, Jessica loves stuff like this she's very sentimental! You are one talented lady!






I love how the two hearts hold this gate card together & then separate to open the card! That's gorgeous!

Shower Centerpiece & 2 Cards

Hi everyone!

Well a quick post to show you the rest of the shower projects & the 2 shower cards that I made for Jessica's bridal shower. I will have another shower card that someones daughter made for Jessica's shower, it was a beautiful design on the same gated card design that I made for the invitation but with a nice twist to it! So after I post that card tomorrow that will be the end of the shower posts & we will be back to regular cards. I still have lots to do for the wedding so I won't be posting everyday. I promise we will get back to normal once the wedding is over. Thanks for stopping by today & have a great evening.

This is the centerpiece that I made for the gift table & I'll tell you it looked lost on that big table. It was filled with pink & silver wrapped dove & Nestles chocolate hearts & it spells out her name "Jessica". I love how it came out!






This is a flap card that I made for the gift that we brought to the shower & had my niece's name on the envelope. Remember she thought she was going to her cousin's bridal shower & the gift was really for her. Inside this gift was the Bride sweatshirt jacket & 2 tank tops that say Bride in hot pink & the other one says Just married in black, they both have the words in rhinestones



The inside of the card I put a poem to my daughter that I found on the Internet



Made this card to match the Shower invitation, but the fold is a little different, instead of a gated card the fold is off to the left side

Sky Diving Pictures

Hi everyone!

Hope your having a fabulous weekend! We had a ball yesterday at the Newport airport, everyone was raring to go sky diving & they had a blast!!! This was Jessica's wedding gift to Steve & Marc bought them the video, they will get that in about a week. Marc & Sarah each got a video too & we're all going to Marc's house to watch them when they all get their videos. They all want to do it again & make it a yearly thing...can you believe it? I think their all out of their minds. But that's the dare devil & youth talking, I could never do what they did & I truly admire them for doing it, especially the girls. They were scared but were willing to do it for their man...gotta admire that! It was sunny but cloudy. Jessica & Steve were the first ones up & when they came down & told everyone how awesome it was well I think it put everyone else at ease. Nikki & Brian (bridesmaid & best man) were next up & were amazed at how much they enjoyed it. Then Marc (my son) & Sarah (girlfriend) were last. We waited & waited & waited but alas the guy came out & told us they were not jumping this time because the clouds closed up & there was no opening for them jump. So they landed & we waited for the clouds to clear up a little. We waited about an hour before they went up again & finally got to jump, they had a blast & loved the scenery coming down. Oh did I tell you that they free fall for 10 seconds at 140 miles per hour...that's some drop, to me that's just too scary! 10 Seconds is a long time but they loved the rush! So I guess we will be doing this again next year! Enjoy the slide show & thanks for stopping by today! Have a great weekend!
