Just a little Wedding in Arizona

While moving from WA to AZ my cousin called (we were about half way through  Idaho).  Her daughter was getting married... and since I was now going to be in Arizona... and she knows how much I love making things... well she needed help getting all the wedding stuff-s together.  I LOVED IT!!! I love weddings and making things.. and this would give my sanity something else to do besides stress over moving.
 
Here is the cute couple:

and here are a few of the things I made:

baby headbands, bridesmaids sashes

more baby headbands  

Bridesmaids head pieces, (but they actually wore them around their waists!)  CUTE little baskets I found at Target to put them all in! 

 

Then it was on to chalk boards, letters, banners (oh my)

 This is the bride's headpiece:

 And my favorite, the silk 'throw' bouquet!

  More to come!

One of Life's many lessons

Welcome to November

NOVEMBER!!!
Well let me tell you, in Arizona it still feels like August!! or the August I am 'used' to.

Yes, my life has changed and I finally feel like I have settled down a bit to start back up writing on my blog!!

The update:
August 11th we left Sequim, WA (When I say 'we' I mean my mother and me, Rod had already transfered to AZ in June)
August 24th we moved into OUR house in Lichfield Park, AZ
- then the ordeal of opening up a TON of boxes started... and still contues to this day. Here are a couple of pictures from moving day (this lasted for several weeks).

 
In the middle of all this unpacking we had my cousin's daughter's wedding that I was helping with.. then... my dear SIL and BIL came to visit....

BUT today, November first... it is back to unpacking and moving boxes around. (although I do have a full time job that keeps me busy too)

Have I mentioned that we are closer to 3 of our kids and now 4 grandkids!!!  Here's a couple of pictures from Halloween's Trunk or Treat....

 

I'm happy to be back blogging.  I'll try to keep up...but family duties are abounding EVERYWHERE!!!

Finally in Arizona

Well we finally made it to Arizona.  It has been a long and painful two year process.  The saga continues full of lumps and bumps along the way.  I am exhausted physically and emotionally.  I am going to have to have a serious bloggy hiatus to concentrate on this household move, my mother, my new job and find another part time job.

This certainly isn't what I expected, but I guess life never is what you expect.

Here's to the future, hoping it is full of creations, and family times and happy memories.  I'll start back up when things are a little better around here.... I've got some fun things rolling round my brain to blog about.
