Happily Ever After

It’s such an odd thing to wake up one day and find that my sweet little daughter…

is just not so little anymore. In fact, she’d transformed into a real, live fairy princess.

On this lovely day of her wedding to her sweetheart…

I hope you’ll forgive the obvious gaps and puckers in my photography. Oh, I did my best to capture so much that was wonderful about the day~

the beautiful decorations and pictures…

our sweet “babies” playing follow the leader…

patient, loving daughters…

a hardworking sister–who made the cake, btw…

and the dearest…

of eternal friends.

I couldn’t help but remember when Jillian was the little girl in the flowery, yellow dress–

being reminded over and over to keep those tiny fingers off Grampa’s pretty wedding cake.

But while I busied myself with snapping shots of as much of the day as I could…

there came a time when I had to pause and just watch for a moment or two…

or I would have missed my baby girl turning into a beautiful, grown-up lady…

right before my eyes.

And truly, no one should ever miss the chance to have a fairy princess take their breath away.

Be happy my darlings in your wonderful new life together. Happy honeymoon.

We love you.

Oh, Ryan…

Just found this video clip of Ryan Gosling when he was just a pup, singing and dancing in his church talent show. I had to share it with you guys because it’s so dang fun to watch him make the very same faces as a kid that he makes now as an adult.

Yeah…he’s one adorable guy.

African Flower Continued

Remember this pretty little African Flower motif from last fall? Oooh, it was so fun to make, and I even got a few emails about it. It’s also been repinned on Pinterest…a lot.

As much fun as all that is–for me–it got even better the other day when I received an email from Brenda over at Brenda’s Bric-a-Brack. Turns out that she really loved this fun little flower and went a step further.

She turned it into a pot holder. I think it’s beautiful and such a good idea!

I hope you’ll let me know if you ever make something from this blog. I’d love to see my creative friends…in action.

Plus, it’s very good for my heart.
