Happy New Year! I'm hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's celebration. Mine was extra-special and extra-busy with my daughter's wedding taking place right between the two ; ) Which explains why I've been "missing" for the past several weeks. I've been meaning to share the favors (pictured above) I created for the wedding before now, but better a little late than never.
These heart ornament wedding favors are clear glass heart-shaped ornaments with Silver Glass Stampin' Glitter coating the insides. They turned out really pretty...sort of a faux cracked glass or mercury glass look. I found a great tutorial for glittered ornaments here. They really weren't that hard, just a little time-consuming when making about 200 of them! Thankfully, I had some excellent helpers...thank you mom, Janette and Katelynn!!
A closer view...
After a year of planning and preparing, I am very happy to say the wedding was absolutely beautiful!!! I'm so happy for my daughter and new son-in-law and excited for their future together. I wouldn't be a proud mom if I didn't share a few pictures from this special day...
So Beautiful!!!
Well, we now have two weddings down and one to go! My oldest son, Ryan, was married a year ago in November, but I didn't get the pictures right away and I don't think I ever shared any of them. So here are a few from their wedding (again, better late than never)...
Our last wedding is coming soon! My son, Michael, will get married this April. Yes, that's three weddings in under a year and half!! I'm exhausted, but in a very good way : ) My husband and I couldn't be more pleased to have two new daughters and a son joining our family. We are extremely blessed!!
With all that's been happening lately my stamping and creating have been put on the backburner a bit, but I wouldn't have missed this time with my kids for anything! I hope to re-group and get back into my stamping room very soon! Thanks for letting me share my excitement with you : )
Remember! Today is the final day to order from the Holiday Catalog. Tomorrow is the first day to order from the new Occasions Catalog.
Thanks so much Maureen, really appreciate your kind comments : ) I wish you a Happy New Year to you too!!
