Thinking of you

Yesterday was a day spent with a heavy heart. First, a friend of mine's grandmother was laid to rest and shortly after the funeral we learned that 1SGs bestmans mother passed away. Though both these women have lived long lives and their love will continue beyond yesterday, its always heartbreaking.  

 

We were recently cleaning up some magazines that the bestman always sends 1SG and his ma had written tiny little notes on the articles she thought we would enjoy most... brings a smile to my face.  We will embark on the journey to Michigan to lay his ma to rest and be there for 1SGs bestman and lifelong best friend. 

  

Great use of retired ribbon roses, that were dyed Indigo, and adding some pearls seems to finish this off nicely.I could have added a smidge more indigo but the Naturals white seemed more fitting.

The beauty of the Sea

Ok, so as much as I want to tell you about the love story behind this (not mine),I have to give your the short version since it spans... oh... about 5 years...  


How they met: At the beach, he worked as a SCOPES photographer during the day and some nights at some greasy chicken place on the boardwalk. She visited with friends and family quite frequently and though attempted to fight the feelings she had from day one - she knew it was meant to be. 


They kept their romance for 2 summers as a long distance, "see ya when I get there" type of relationship. By the end of summer number 2, she was there all the time and he never minded a bit. 


Fast forward to 6 days ago, she purposes...sets the "beachy" mood in their apartment...

 

and pops THE question...in a way of just telling their story ... 

 

With a moment or two of not knowing what was going on.. he says YES!  And she puts on  his engagement ring... with the impression of "marry me" inside.  

What a beautiful fairytale. ... now if I could get their picture... this would be a great ending to my telling it.. but I couldn't wait much longer! 


Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! Hug the ones you love! 

Indigo moments...

Its such a pretty color isn't it? That Island Indigo???... it mixes well with Limeade and Daffodil... right?   Or have my eyes left me in a world where nobody knows my name?? {just kidding}}



LNS Challenge 129 - Inspiration



I put this together and right away I was like DANG, this color rocks! ... looking forward to using it more...

 I have kept with my promise to make the inside "pretty" in the cards... just keep forget to show you most of the time!  I have even made the envelope "pretty" as well.. "pretty" is the term used at the house when the teens want me to help with something... "make this pretty"...

I must really get working on my photo tent, some of these shots have a lot to be desired... how can I love the color if you cannot see it yourself!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hug the ones you love!
