altered folder

Here's a shot of a file folder I made for a friend who had a Birthday last Saturday...Happy Birthday Kate!!! =D
The weekend was surely filled to overflowing with excitement! With our oldest son committing his life to the LORD and our second son announcing his engagement... the emotions were at an all time high!!! Can hardly believe I'm on my way to becoming a mother-in-law! :0
Oh, and I do have pics of the wisteria, but they're still in the camera, so it will be a little longer before I post a page on them. They were lovely & fragrant!

What Could be More Lovely???

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!!!!! For the first time ever... our Wisteria is going to bloom!!! This plant has been living in our garden for approx. 18-20 years, with nary a bloom! =|
I am soooooo excited! There will be more digi pages coming as it blooms.(LORD-willing) Even if they should all freeze off, at least I know they were going to bless me with their sweet,rare, beauty! LOL

Suppose one of them will burst open by Friday, to bless silver girl with her loveliness for her garden shower?

The pictures, as promised...

My delightful Persian lime tart, on an antique milk glass stand (found at shoppe girl's shop, btw :)). A very easy recipe (thank you, Martha!) and the crust, which is a tart crust, turned out just right, amazingly. I also included a picture of the final product. And I'm very sorry that my camera couldn't capture it any better than what it did.

And a glimpse of what I spent my morning doing - assembling a bouquet of crepe paper roses for the reception. Very time consuming and a little difficult. Ergo, I'm only making one bouquet. :0

This morning MM dropped off an uber-chic invitation for my personal shower. I love letterpress.

And now to give blood this afternoon...(I'm wondering why I did that to myself. Oh well, too late now.)

Some Old Treasures from Eureka Photographers

Just had to squeeze in this newest page I created, especially for my hometown, and b/c today's date is a favorite of mine... b/c it is the number "2" !!! =)

let's see how this works

So now I am officially a blogger. Welcome to the 21st century, Wendy! Here are a few random pictures revealing a glimpse of mi vida loca. The top picture depicting my fav time of day (or night, actually). The second is for Tory - for finally outsmarting the beaver he stalked for weeks. The third, well, Simon is just too stinkin cute for his own good (3 or 4 months old in this one). And since ms. grace dropped the camera on the sidewalk and it now no longer works, I will not be able to post the fantastic pictures that I would have most likely snapped at tonight's wild party.

just FYI

P.S. This is a public blog, krenee & Mr. Social, so anyone may have a look and leave some love! ;)

Why?????? just because I love 2 design!

Well, here it is... the newest kid on the block!

My dreamchild is... a community of artists, dreamers, designers!!! Born of close association to one too many ShoppeGirls Soirees! More on that later!

As a first post I would like to feature the collaborated work of two artists, silvergirl and (for lack of much forethought) shopgirl! =D

(edited May 1, 11:30pm ~ OK, after some thought I would like to introduce the second artist as... gem (b/c she hangs out with pearl!!!) =D

The unveiling of "THE INVITATION"





So begins a cozy little gathering spot, welcome one and all!
