Here is my first project for 2011, took me a while but I did it!!! I think I made it to full and one mistake was not wrapping the foam wreath with ribbon but live and learn:) I’m proud of it, never really crafted before this new blog, oh sure I did the samplers but that’s all I did and maybe painted a few things black. When I saw these though in blogland I really wanted to make one.
Now should I keep it here on the hutch? (BTW the computer in the corner will soon be out of there, Mr. K found a roll top computer desk on Craigslist for $200.00 but got him down to $170.00 and it’s in great condition to boot!) Also took out the snowflake dishes and put them done below after I threw out some fabric that I won’t be using, I guess I did a little organizing today too:) I’m vowing to live the motto of “If you haven’t used or worn it in a year, throw it out or donate”!
Or here above the couch? I had a Christmas wreath there and loved it. I did try to make a book wreath but it didn’t turn out to good, after trying this one though I’ll be giving it another try.
Now here are some pics of the wedding, my two granddaughters were flower girls and Jenn, the bride was so beautiful as was the wedding.

The back of their hair, sorry for the blur, guess you can tell I didn’t get a camera for Christmas:)

We had a wonderful time, we arrived there in Greensboro, North Carolina Dec. 30th and stayed until Jan. 2nd. I’ll share pics of our New Years Eve party soon. BTW the wedding was held on New Years Day and the reception was held at the Magnolia Home Plantation, beautiful place and I didn’t get one pic because I was having to good of time♥
I did get this though Samantha and my granddaughter Alex rockin!

A happy Sunday to you!
I’m sure tired today it was one busy weekend starting Thursday night when Michael and Carrie came home from Annapolis. My youngest was best man in his friends wedding, my first outdoor wedding and it was so nice and pretty! Here are a few pictures:
The bride and groom!
The Terrible Towel…all are big Steeler fans!
The Best Man & Maid of Honor!
My son’s and I (Chris & Michael), now don’t forget I have two more kids but they were at another wedding!
The Bridal table…notice her colors, aqua and green!
The Bride’s Maids bouquets! I’m sure they are Hydrangeas.
Floating Candle centerpieces!
Birdcage card holder and guest signing table!
Mr.K and I, we were married 4 years this past May 26th and we both forgot about it until a couple days later…we just blamed it on age.LOL
After church we drove home so that Mr. K could get into more comfortable clothes, on the way back we stopped at a yard sale just up the rode from us, I spied this bench and just knew it would be so pretty painted white with different fabric for the seat…she had $20.00 on it but I got it for $15.00!!! I’ m pretty sure I’m going to take out two chairs from the dining room table and use this instead, that’s the plan right now anyway and yes, I stopped like I was dressed to get this bench. LOL The sun is shining on it in the picture but it’s an orange so it’s from the 70’s.
One more thing before I go, I saw this on this great blog Three Ring Cottage Gina had come up with such a neat Pottery Barn idea! I already had the pickle jar which had been filled with old cookie cutters, emptied it out and bought pea gravel and a candle from Dollar Tree and here it is! Love it, thanks for the idea Gina!
I hope everyone has a wonderful summer evening where ever you are!
Rondell♥
