thank you---PINTEREST!

A dear friend of mine has a son who is getting married soon. The bride to be lives in another town, so I offered to give her a shower. When I talked to her about the wedding and things she liked, it was great to find out, we liked alot of the same things. Since I live in a log cabin, a Vintage bridal shower seemed just perfect!  So I pulled out all of my mason jars, china, aprons and then, "thanks to PINTEREST" --a lot of ideas!
First were the invites....
I saw some on PINTEREST ---and so I cut out the mason jar pattern and made up a little verse.....

The menu was the next thing, and because I was thinking "old fashioned." Like when I got married, the menu's included cake, nuts, buttermints and punch.  So the cake had to be a brown sugar vanilla with caramel in between the layers and buttercream iciing.  And it had to look like one I saw on PINTEREST.  But since I have never made a three layer cake ---it was going to be a challenge.  More about the cake later...


Next on the list, was getting my yard ready....and again, thanks to PINTEREST, I had to decorate my pickett fence.
more....to come!

Blogging...

Well, I haven't posted anything in a little over a month, but I have been busy.  To start off my excuse list:
1.  I got sick.  --I RARELY ever get sick...But thank God...I am all better.
2.  Work--extremely busy..Whatever was going on 9 months ago sure caused a bunch of new precious lives!
3.  Planing a bridal shower.  A dear friend's son is getting married in June and I am giving a shower and I love    to do everything...Over the Top!
4. Out of sync.  That's all--Out of Sync.
So with those excuses, I will try to start "blogging" again.
We will see how the next few days go.....
