Wedding Preparations!

I love to make things. I love the little details when it comes to party planning. I like certain things to happen my way. This leads to me doing a lot of things by hand for my wedding. (Of course, I have to mention my awesome mother who has been doing a LOT of work in the other areas!)
First, I put together my bouquet:
Then, Tim's boutonniere:Then lots of others!!
And a flower-girl basket!
I did NOT make each flower by hand... These were decorations from a storefront! I just had to re-string them!

Finally, my friends, we have some jewelry wax. I used this to form a ring for Tim. Which we then used to make a mold out of investment and a vacuum machine, and finally we poured in some gold! I don't have a picture of Timmy's ring yet... I'll leave that up to your imagination!

Some people may not enjoy getting wrapped up in the details of wedding planning... Some people may not enjoy weddings period!
(Heh... I love that I ended that sentence without a period.)

Jono Saves the Day!!!

I found my old Bible the other day, while looking for one small enough to carry in my purse.
Inside, I found a picture that my friend Joel had made for me.
He was obviously enamored of his soon-to-be brother in law.
You can see that Jono, with muscular cotton-candy limbs, has just lifted up a semi to block some huts from the coming rock slide/volcano. One unfortunate guy (with twiggy arms, I might add) stands doomed in the shadow of an escaped boulder!
