(Picture from bacholette party)

Yesterday I did some shopping for alcohol and more pop and veggies.... and stuff.. got my haircut and made the ring bearers pillow.   a very busy day.  the hardest part though was unloading it all!  Now, there is sooo much work to be done today.   As now.. we can start counting down the hours! 

some things are hard.. like knowing how much alcohol to have.  there will be 200 people.  who knows how many will drink and how much they will drink.  theres alcohol.. hopefully theres enough.  Im worried because there are opinions that think we need a lot more.. but when I was buying it all, I just kept thinking.. who is going to drink all this stuff?   there will be two kegs of beer too.. and a TON of pop and water. 

If theres not enough alcohol, then I will feel bad,  but at least it would be used up then! and I will be glad of that.. because I dont know what to do with it if its left over!  I hired a girl to bartend.  And then.. how do you know how much and what exactly to buy for mixers.. Im not a drinker.. so Ive no real clue.. oh well, it is what it is.  And I dont really want anyone to get wasted there either.

I had to "steal" these pictures from other places!  the ones above of the girls bacholette party and this one of marlaina and her cousin I got off of Tiffanys aunts facebook page.   Isnt this a cute picture?  They look like they are saying.. "whoa.. whats on your head ?"

Marlaina scared us to death last night when she fell out of the highchair.. Im sure you all remember the sick feeling in the pit of your stomachs when something like that happens.  We almost took her to the hospital for xrays, but then she was crawling and smiling again after a while.  my poor little princess pie!  I just LOVE her to freaken pieces!

So, today will be very busy!  starting in just a few minutes, I will be baking~  snickerdoodles and peanut butter cookies!  and then peach cobblers for tonights rehersal dinner.  The cookies are for the wedding reception. 

I've got to go pick Jen up after I make the cookies.  shes going to do my tootsies!  Poor brave girl! my feet are just about 52 years old and they look it! lol!  But Jen is a good girl and she loves her mommy!

the tents are being set up this morning between 10:00  and 11:00, so we'll be spending most of the day and night down the street at my girlfriends house where the wedding will be setting up as much as we can do today.



Alot of it will have to wait til tomorrow morning. so we'll be there at 7:00 am  filling hellium balloons and setting tables.. etc...   LOTs of work!

Im very excited now.. my baby  is getting married and I do love the girl he is marrying.  and.. the icing on the cake.. they are planning on moving out very soon!  woohoo!

Still dont have my computer back.. but hubby said maybe tomorrow morning he will pick it up.  that would be good.. I will need it on sunday!  I'm sure I'll have tons of pics to post!

Happy weekend girls.. be back after the wedding!

Oh.. and the weather??? calling for picture perfect and 73- 75 degrees~  who could ask for anything more!?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

just a few words....

Run run running to keep up!  

 this is going to be a crazy weekend.  But the weather is looking like it will be perfect!  still lots to do.  just need to get through today at work.  it'll go by fast.  training this morning and a program with the boys this afternoon... then I'm off the rest of the week to prepare for the wedding.

still dont have my computer back so I cant upload any pictures!  POOOHEY!  so my blog has to be pictureless and boring for the time being.

HI HO HI HO... OFF TO WORK I GO!

toodles girls!

finally friday!

 
So glad its friday.. only a week to the wedding now.. just was checking the long range weather forcasts... uhh... not looking so great...  now I can kick my worrying into high gear...  yikes!  what are we going to do in the rain...    I'm thinking maybe we should get another big tent!  We already have 2 that will seat 100 each.  there are 200 people coming.  perhaps we should get the third tent for dancing and whatever.  oh dear oh dear!  I need to think positively..   the weather is always changing.. It will be nice.. yes.. it will be.. I'm just sure of it......   (oh dear oh dear!)

Here are some pics of the little birthday bear friend that I sent my friend for her birthday.  I think she should have received it today.  I hope!  I hope she gets it before she sees it here.   I have lots of crafting stuff to do for the wedding this weekend.  but I also have to babysit all day tomorrow for torry and baby pie.  its bachelor and bachelorette day.  so Im pretty much thinking I will get nothing done tomorrow.   Sunday will be THE day to do it All!   wish me good focusing.. and good luck!  I will need to get in the zone and be very productive!  maybe tomorrow I will be able to get my craft room cleaned enough to be able to be productive in there.   its a mess right now!
 
so, you know I'm always asking people for prayers.. if you just wouldnt mind sending up a little bubble prayer for perfect weather for next saturday.. Id so appreciate it.   I guess it will be what it will be though.  My will and Gods will dont seem to be lining up together this summer though and that worries me a little.
 
Heading out with Jennifer tonight to go to the homegoods store.  she called me earlier and said they had lots of great halloween stuff out....   uh oh!!  I'll probably be squealing all through the store!  lol! I have to behave though.. really.... Need all my money for the wedding now..... but we'll see... dum dee dum dee dum.. I hope I can control myself! 
I hope I get my own computer back soon.   I will not be able to post any new pictures until I do.  please computer guy.. hurry up!
have a great weekend girlies!

stuff!

Hello bloggy pals!  Been pretty busy.. I dont know what Ive been doing. but it seems that I'm always doing something.   I have lots of wedding stuff to be working on it, but to be honest I have found it hard to do any crafting as its been soooo freaking hot.  I used to love the summer, but this year Im not enjoying it much at all.  I suppose it is partly related to the events of the summer, having and losing Jacob and my son Roberts wedding.

Lots and Lots to do to get ready for the wedding.  Tiffany has been a busy girl making most of her decorations and favors.  I really need to sit down and get busy on the things I'm responsible for.  The clock is ticking!!

This weekend is the bacholorette and bacholor parties.  the girls are going to get mani's and pedi's and then to do some wine tastings.  The guys are going canoeing.  Then they are all meeting back up to have a bon fire and party.    then the next weekend is the wedding.  I think its like 10 or 11 days away.....

I hope it all comes together well.  pray for perfect weather as it is an out door wedding! 

There has been some drama....  but as much as I would like to tell you about it, I suppose it would be best not to put it out here...   I guess every wedding probably has some. 

I just think its their wedding and it should be the way they want it and  as parents we should be totally supporting and helping to make the day as special as possible. 

nuf said about that!

In other news....  if you are doing the witches hat swap, I will be emailing you soon.  I have all the partners picked and am ready to let you know.

OH, and by the way.. my computer is "in the shop" and Im using a loner.  For some reason I am unable to leave comments on a lot of your blogs.  when I get to the comment section I cant scroll down enough to get to the publish button!

that sucks!

okeedokie...  see yas later

peek a boo!

just a little peek at a special ittle giftie for a special little friend whose turning the big 5-0 tomorrow!  My friend Kelly in Ohio.  I cant wait for her to get her this.  I think it turned out so cute.  I'll show the whole thing after she recieves it.  I wish I could show the whole thing now.. but I'm afraid she may look here!

And, I've been meaning to show whats been coming in my mail.  Elizabeth did a banner swap and rallied some girls together to send me these sweet "HUGS".   They make me so happy just looking at them!  thank you sooo much girls!

This one above is from Renee at my vintage mending.  so cute, so Renee, and the little thimble is just the perfect finishing touch!

And from Shirley Hatfield at Zettas Aprons, another adorable banner!  I should have taken pictures of the back of hers too as she did a lot on the back as well, related to her family history.  love it!

And from Deb at Garage Sale Gal, such a sweet little southern belle a perfect  reminder of blogland friendship! 

And from Queen Elizabeth herself,  a sunshiney princess!  when I look at her that song "good morning good morning " comes to mind! 

thank you so much girlie pies!  These have been just want Elizabeth intended them to be, sweet little hugs that came in the mail!

Its thursday!!  woohoo.. almost the weekend!
