Luke & Craig

 
WHAT a handsome couple!
 
 
On Sept 21st, our son Craig married Luke
and we are so happy and
so blest to have Luke join our family.
What a fun day it was and before we knew it,
it was over and I wanted to do it all again. 
But that’s the way it always is.
I’m still waiting for the professional pictures because the ones I took did not turn out too great and I missed a lot of good shots.  I also was a little busy during the day to be concerned about taking my own pictures.
The wedding was small and intimate and very meaningful. 
There were a lot of tears shed and a lot of laughter too,
both added to the special day that is truly was.
The FUN BUS took us to a park where we took the photos and celebrated with Champagne.  A lot of people danced around the ‘pole’ on the bus, something I’m sure they never thought they’d do.  Me, I didn’t, but the hubby sure did and there’s a photo to prove it.
After a great reception and toasts we were off clubbing. 
By now, my feet hurt a lot but I didn’t care
because I didn't want that to take away from
the great time we were having. 
The next morning, we had a family brunch together.  
Then we took a drive to Banff and wondered around our
favourite sites ending the day with dinner.
I’m sad it’s over. 
Sometimes I wish we’d drag out our celebrations for 2-3 days. 
I think there’s something meaningful to celebrating a little longer.
I’m looking forward to the year(s) ahead,
one year at a time please,
as our family grows both in number and in love for each other.

Little Blue Table

 
 
LOVE this little blue storage table. 
You won’t believe what I paid for it or maybe you would,
depends on what you like. 
I like a challenge so I thought for 1 loonie I could at least paint it.
 
 
AND I did just that.
 
 
FIRST , I painted the edges white.
Wherever I thought I might distress it I painted white.

 
THEN, painted it blue and sanded it down a bit. 
I changed out the doors for these dark plexi-glass ones.  I think that changes the look immensely!


LOTS of sanding and waxing and ta-da! 









 
Have a good weekend!  I hope to go garage saling again. 
The end of garage sales for the season is near.
