I attended a wedding on Sunday last. It was a wonderful wedding of friends and I wish them much happiness because they just deserve it!
My gift was a gift card so I did a fancy wrapping...I had no idea what her colors were, so I used pink because I have a lot of pink....I just like pink...
I made crepe paper flowers and a custom handmade tag for this. I wrapped the envelope in a layer of pink lace, gauzy ribbon and crepe paper, then attached three flowers with double stick tape so they could be removed easily...here is the result...
Here is the tag. The little top tag on this one has a small copy of their wedding invitation on the back...
And the flip side is a vintage picture of a wedding dress pattern....
This was super easy and made a card look nicer!
Stay cool...
Love,
SG

Back from the Snow of the Century!
Today, its back to work. And it's Valentines Day. Last year my new hubby bought a Moleskin journal and wrote me a sweet entry in it. The thought was that we would write in it on special days, or whatever days and leave it for each other.
I forgot.
For a whole year.
I forgot.
I apologize.
This morning I wrote in it and left it on his pillow. And I didn't make up the bed. So...if he decided to make up the bed (he is retired), then he will find it.
He drove me to work today. When I got out of the car, I told him to have a plan by 5 when he picks me up.
We will see.
Last year my daughter and I made a bunch of Valentine Tags (see my tab called tags) This year, I didnt make one stinkin' tag. You would think locked up in the house for 8 of the last 14 days, I would do that. Nope, I read 4 books and watched a LOT of tv. Then I decided that it's true...there really IS nothing on tv in the daytime!
So back to the grind, and Happy Valentine's Day to you and your sweetheart!
Love,
SG

Outdoor Wednesday
This is what is blooming in my neck of the woods these days. The dogwoods and redbuds are in full bloom right now, Old Main lawn is lovely and so is Washington Street.
To see more outdoor wonderfulness, go to:
Enjoy!

Outdoor Wednesday, Tags and Easter and Mother's Day and the new puppy...
Check the tags section of my page for pictures of the tags my daughter and I make. I'll put new ones up and take down old ones perodically. These are so simple to make, we use scrapbook paper, shipping tags and public domain images to make them (at least I am reasonably sure these are public domain. These are not any we are selling though, I make them for family and friends to use.) We really enjoy doing these together and we find we are more creative when we sit down together and work on them! Its more fun that way too.
We did have to organize it and get a big tub to put supplies in, because we needed the dining room table for Easter Dinner! When I get my new husband's boxes unpacked and gone through, we will have what I refer to as the "craft/crap" room available. I'll post pictures of the transformation there. I have my grandmother's dining room table in it, its a drop leaf table, and it will be the work table. It was my mother's when I was growing up until she gave it to my grandmother. Then my daughter used it and now I have it. I'll be glad to get a special work room and get the computer set up and re-worked. I gave my new husband the study, which used to be my office/workroom, to be his office/study/den. Its a manly room with that wonderful old fashioned knotty pine paneling which some people hate, but I love. It's my favortie thing in this house I grew up in.
The new puppy at hour house has won everyone over and is the darling of us all. She is so cute! Pictures below..she is a schnauzer mix and has adapted to our family very well. Even the cat is warming up to her and was playing with her last night!
And what does this have to do with Outdoor Wednesday? Well, the last picture was taken outside, of course! She loves to play outside, and has brought a stick in the house..so now we outdoors inside....

Have a great rest of the week!

Wednesday
I don't have a picture today for Outdoor Wednesday, although my daffodils are blooming! I did add some more pictures of some tags I made for a couple of friends.
I'm now making tags for Easter and Mother's Day for my friends. This is a creative outlet I am really enjoying. I am going to try to make sure my friends all get one so they know they are special to me.
Go under my "TAGS" page at the top of this blog to see the new ones. For some reason I am too challenged to get posts on these, so I just update them. If anyone has a suggestion, I am certainly open to them.
I am off next week for vacation and I hope to get out in the yard to do some work. I"ll take pictures!

Outdoor Wednesday
It's just too darn cold outside right now. The sun is out, but its coooold!
So here are some interesting pictures I took a couple of years back when it snowed after the cherry trees outside my office had bloomed.





Cherry Blossoms in the Snow!
