I’ve finally made it to the other side of a whirlwind few weeks. My brother Geoff, and Dacia are finally married. I can’t imagine what state I would be in if it were me getting married, all I did today was nap so far. After being together faithfully for nine + years, I am very excited for them starting their new life together. They are currently on their way to their honeymoon destination. The wedding day was fun, the ceremony touching and at the same time lighthearted, the reception a blast. I was honored to be part of their wedding party and had such a great time spending time over the last week with Geoff and Dacia and everyone else in the wedding. On Wednesday Dacia, the mothers and all of us bridesmaids went to see Wicked at the oriental theatre, “Toss, Toss”. Ha Ha, as I am typing, Come Sail Away by Styx came up in itunes and that was a memorable song that was played at their reception, that and Weird Al’s White and Nerdy, where the guys all did their spotlight dances including danny breakdancing, ahhh the memories.
Sweet, after 2 years of using it continually I’ve only now finally won on blingo. I chose a gift certificate from amazon. So I guess here is my opportune moment to post an invitation for you to win. You know blingo? It is a search engine powered by google, so if you use google you might as well just use blingo and try to win. I think it works like this, if you sign up under me and win, then I win as well because when I was just filling out my info to receive my prize it told me the person who I had originally signed up under won something as well, in fact she has won 43 times since she signed up! So sign up and use it! I remember when I first signed up, everywhere I was going people were winning left and right. I will try and have matt help me put a link over there to the right for anyone who might want to sign up and use blingo. I hope this doesn’t sound like some sort of spam thing.
Anyway, I think it is time for me to return to my regular non-wedding event life and get busy makin’ and creatin’. Later this week I will share with you a few of the things I made for Geoff and Dacia’s wedding but in the meantime, since I haven’t had too much time for my own personal makin’ and creatin’, I will leave you with the above mosaic from my favorites page on flickr from the last month or two. You can find out who all the amazing artists are by following this link.
