Why? When you hired a professional?!

I was going to try to scrounge up photos from our rehearsal and wedding day that my friends and family took, cherry picking them from Facebook, Instagram, etc. then I was sent the link below from our extremely talented friend and photographer.  

Enjoy!

Save the Date!

So I'm in a season of life that revolves around a lot of weddings, this year was slower, only three and I wasnt in any of them.  Karla is guest blogging this, she sent it to me.  A little preview below:

Birthday Guest Blogger

My dear friend sent me one of the greatest things ever today - a rhyming ode to friendship!  Sarah's been on the bloggeroo before, but little did she know, she'd get to be a guest blogger today!  

Dont be confused by the pearls, or the fact that she hails from Massachusetts - Sarizzle is phabulously ghetto and a rhyming fool!

Dear Betsy,

 

Its Birthday Time,

which calls for a rhyme.

Im gunna lay a phat beat

Cause you know Im that 'street'

 

You're a pretty awesome person

I never hear you cursin'

Always stylin with class

But give a little extra sass

 

You make delicious cookies

And were kind to tennis rookies

Verse song memories are rich

though always slightly off pitch

 

You caught the Eagle Landing

and your blog is really outstanding

You always make me smile

"Can I stay for a while?" (colbie calliet shoutout- how the hiz do you spell her name?!)

 

Life without you would be sad

So now I will rejoice and be glad

Because 20-something years ago

B Vervys entered the show

 

With all my love

and all my heart

Happy Birthday Verwhizzle!

..its only the start.. (of the adventure of life, that is) :)

 

I am SO blessed :)

Spring Craft

So I’m running a little late on this, but the wonderful and crafty Jennifer has again sent me a little something she put together this spring take a look and maybe make one too!?

1.  Print off each graphic from Graphics Fairy.

2. Use double sided tape to attach them to cardstock or light cardboard to make them more sturdy.

3. Add glitter in a few select spots to highlight.

4. Attach ribbon to the back and hang!  TA DAAAA!

I saw this hanging in her entryway, I felt springier for sure! :) 

Happy Weekend!

FMM - Old Sweater New Sweater

For Friend Making Monday I’m diverting from what Amber and friends are talking about, which is the Super Bowl, and I’m going to introduce you to my friend (and stand in sister) Jennifer. I’ve known her my whole life, idolized her fantastic bangs in the 90’s and have learned so much from her about becoming a gracious woman of God, (still learning)!

Jennifer is so crafty and boldly made the snip to refashion a sweater last week! Here’s what she did -

She started with a turtleneck pullover sweater –

Then she cute straight down the middle and cut the turtleneck off about 3/4” from the collar.

She used 1 1/2” ribbon. She ironed it in half, pinned and sewed over each side of the front opening.

Next she sewed the collar over to make a finished edge.

At this point you have two options: 1 - sew buttons and button holes on either side of the opening. Or if you arent able to get to the fabric store with your two small children 2 – affix a pretty pin or brooch to pull the two sides together. TADAAAAAA!

She’s also been busy making little pins to doll up an spring outfit!

Thanks Jenn for paving the way! Now I’ll know who to turn to when my refashion goes south!

If anyone else has been working on anything and needs a platform for the world, send me an email! I’d love to showcase your ideas!

Happy Monday! Hope it was a great start to your week! :)
