Take a Leap of Faith

I have soooo much I want to put in this blog but it takes time. So little by little I will add to it. I hope you can use any ideas you find in here or at least you might be inspired to try some idea of your own. Believe me, I have tried some crazy things -including blogging!!! xoxoxoxoxoxox Lynn

The Little Prince

My youngest step son and his wife had a baby 2 years ago and we threw a "little prince" shower for his mom. I made the "cake out of paper mache boxes and used a 3-d stencil paste to make the emblems on them and then painted and coated them with mod-podge. The crown is actually a gold tree topper that I removed the coil from and painted and glittered silver. I made sceptors out of dowel rods, wooden balls, pipe clears and added rhinestones to make them royal!

projects

I made these for a high school volleyball banquet for centerpieces. I used styrofaom, scrapbooking paper, plastic needlepoint mesh(what is it called?), skewers and paint.

wedding

My niece Amy was married at the Easter Seals Camp where she and Matt met. My niece Jill was har maid of honor and I was pleased to help with
the decorations.

cakeplates

They wanted it informal and they wanted cakeplates on each table with cupcakes but the budget was an issue so I came up with the idea of terra cotta pots and bottoms. I painted them, decoupaged them and sealed them with miultiple layers of mod podge. We had coordinating paper for pinwheels for the kids to take to the pier and with the leftover paper we made mini pinwheels with candy sticks as favors.

more decor

We hung their initials in trees to direct people down the path to the pier. Also had
handmade signs to point the way.

Each person took a rock and, as part of the ceremony, threw it in the lake
with a wish or prayer for the couple.
