wordfindmagic custom wordsearch

presentations from past weddings

wordsearch puzzles have been created & printed

for our family wedding

now - i'm thinking - well, creating in my mind

how they will be displayed for

the wedding & the rehearsal dinner

two different puzzles

two different events

two opportunities

to add to the festivities

think i've got it

the wordsearch puzzles

will be wrapped around

the party favor!!

then displayed

in a magical way!

wedding memories recalled

as we make plans for

Andrew & Ashley's wedding

i've had great  joy

working on party favors

for the reception &

for the rehearsal dinner

(feeling great, now that i found a great dress in Austin)

using things from the past

as they begin their future

together

so often asked
where do you get your creativity
i must say i come by it honestly
this is a picture of my mother's family
The Griffins
(a strong, loving, Christian family)
in this picture i am the baby
 in the sweet stroller

photographer, dairy farmer, oil man, rancher, preacher,
school teacher, border official, book keeper,
boat builders, musician, doctor, seamtress,
artists & greats cooks
the list goes on & on with each
generation added

and i must say, i feel that
my skills come from my
beloved daddy
craftsman, artist, photographer
& maker of magic
my adult children possess many
of his skills & talents
he'd certainly bee proud of them
(as i am)

recently i toured the
Waco New Tribune museum
i was impressed by the size
of the displayed history of this
town
this is a copy of the picture that
tells of the photographic talent
of John Bennett Photo
he saw the history of waco
through the lens of his camera
how i miss him

funny how a project can

take a life of it's own

once i began the creating

of magical appliances...

the oven looked really

dull & unjoyful

so my paintbrush turned around

to find another blank canvas

looking like a double oven

oh, it is a double oven, but

dull & unjoyful no more!

i was very happy when

casseroles from the

charming, simply charming brunch

were cooked in the magical ovens -

 the bricks & mortar stayed in place!

(soot & all)

did i post the dishwasher?

(paint fumes must be getting to me)

will stage inside of refrig soon 

in anticipation of creating the second

door panel!!

 

today

all dishes & silver washed

from the

Charming Simply, Charming Brunch

now to find where they go

might just leave the centerpiece

up for a little while

it's way charming

four generations of charm bracelets

grace this glittered tree

plus some other treasures that

sparkle

sparkle like you mean it!!

 

the above tag is one of my favorite sayings

thoughts that have to do with creating

one day i looked at the dishwasher

hum, it was a blank canvas

ugly & boring

in my vintage kitchen

voile

magic

Beatrix Potter,

"I better stay out here, she might paint me."

truth bee know

i've already started on the refrigarater

and the double ovens

oh, my ~ they are looking charming

simply charming

it seems that i've been playing
the refrigerator for the last week
on wednesday
the center piece for faithbook
was a little vintage refrig
from the angelgirls room

little snacks had to be something
that would actually bee
in a refrig
(lemon drops, gummie fruits & swedish fish!)
& leftover invitations put in
the freezer to
charming, simply charming brunch
March 7

 

life's a bunch of great
little things
