What we're in the middle of.....

The "problem" with loving to create......
How can you buy something when you can make it?

Shower invitations... made by my very talented crafty neice Raimie
Flower girl dresses...sewing by my very talented seamstress Mother (She got all 4 of them put together except zippers & hems in 4 days after I got them cut out for her)


The wedding invitations & card inserts inside....These were mine and Raimie's brainstorm, coupled with Lynisha's talent on the computer & Thanks to joint effort of my sisters, niece & friends coming to my house helping me assemble them.

I did get the envelopes all addressed, filled and in the mail this week.
Today is Jeanne's shower, and promises to be a crazy fun filled afternoon/evening!
Other activities this week included having my grandaughter Kyrie here all week, my husband & oldest & youngest son gone on a job accross the state, a birthday party for my two youngest daughters with 5 other little girls, a shopping trip to Grand Island Friday afternoon after Jeanne, Lynisha & Trey got here for the weekend, and a 4th birthday party (Fancy Nancy/butterfly) for my great neice Felicity with a whole flight of other little girls (maybe 14??) They all dressed up as butterfly's, and it was quite a party! I'll have some pictures of that later next week.

    Probably by the time my youngest gets married then I'll be either aready dead, in the crazy house, or at the least informing her that she has no option but to elope, instead of telling her there's NO WAY she's going to!! At least she'll have enough older sisters, cousins & nieces by that time to help her :*)

    It sounds like you are having fun. There is a lot of stress in doing a wedding and I am almost envious of all your willing help. That does make it a lot more fun.

    You and your family all have so much crafty talent! It is not fair....good luck with all the wedding details. A few years from now you will look back and laugh. You are a strong woman....(don't believe me just look at how many kids you've had.) You'll make it through and just know that we are praying for you.
