Warren & Suzanne's Wedding || Part 1 {Ceremony}

Suzanne and I have known each other since roughly the time my family joined the homeschool group (13 or so years ago!!). We've done sports, Bible study, and celebrated birthdays together. It was wonderful to celebrate her wedding with her back in February! 

Congrats Warren & Suzanne -- wish you two a long and happy marriage :)

During the signing, a friend played River Flows in You. That piece should be mandatory repertoire for every pianist! ;)

Those of you who stop by regularly will have noticed that this post is late. Sorry about that. And yes, I have back-dated this post so it will be easy to find in my archives. Admittedly these shots aren't all from the same day; I started snapping on Saturday but never got finished. {Yes, I may have fallen asleep on the couch before getting through my to-do list and then woken up at 1am.}

: : Some cards I made on Friday {partly why I wasn't shooting for this post. Oops} : :

: : And this one gives a better view of the matching envelopes : :

: : Someone talks on a puzzle piece : :
Did you know they make good phones?!

: : My flute : :

: : Sewing time! : :

: : The healthiest cookie recipe ever. Not. :P : :

: : Snow White, anyone? : :
In case you're wondering, my sisters wear this when they swim.

: : Music theory exam booked. Study, here I come! : :

: : My all-time fav cookies ;) : :

: : Abstract or not-so cookies : :
{Are you salivating yet?} haha

Recent Crafty Fun

Mostly my season's greetings cards, plus a few others . . .
So glad I bought Stampin' Up!'s Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set; I just love it!

And this one was lucky enough to get a matching envelope! 

Thought I'd have a go at decorating my own letter paper.
When I finish a textbook for school I like to also finish with the notebook I was using,
but leaving a pile of empty pages at the back of old notebooks seemed like a waste so
started ripping them out to write letters on; I used the guillotine to slice the ripped edge
off. I guess blank paper works fine but I prefer something more exciting (lol) so I tried
stamping it. Definitely some designs turned out better than others :)
And hey, now I don't have to buy expensive letter paper :P haha
Oh yeah, now I have to actually use it, right?
