Cake, Favours and the like!!

We had a lot of fun making things for the wedding. Lynn, my sister has been collecting cones, leaves, berries and other similar things for the past few weeks. We used them to decorate the tables for an Autumn Theme. The room looked gorgeous.

The favours were brown boxes with marzipan pumpkins, Wedding Day sweet pea seeds and Kendal mint cake in them. The boxes were decorated with silver acorn charms, silver leaves and an autumn leaf. Lynn had made mini pots of bramble jelly for everyone and the place names were finished off with a name tag on a small pumpkin!

The cake was made by a lady in Llandudno recommended by Maesmor Hall. The front of the cake was autumn leaves and the back icing was peeled back to reveal Lego bricks! Unfortunately I have no photo of the back at present. On the tables were plant pots with curly hazel twigs, silk autumn leaves, rose hips and cupcakes decorated as roses.

Jenny and Steve's Wedding

Making table decorations the night before the wedding! Jenny on her phone - Lynn and Marilyn slaving away and Ange drinking tea!

This is my daughter Jenny and her new husband Steve Dowden at their Evening Reception on 5th November at Lowton Civic Hall. They were married on the 4th at Maesmor Hall in North Wales.

Me struggling to lace up Jenny's dress! I'm not too sure about the feathery thingy I chose to have on my head!!! But Jenny does look stunning!

Mervyn and Jenny walking down the aisle! He does look smart in his wedding suit!

Artist Says Chunky Book

Really enjoyed doing these Chunky Book pages on the theme of travel. Above are some of my pages.

Christmas Banner

Been busy today working on my flags for a Christmas Banner swap. My theme was Vintage Snowmen. When I started looking I found that they are a scary lot!!!! Certainly not the cheery character we feature at this time of year. There was even one that was chasing a terrified child with a big stick! Here are some of my flags - I was rather proud of them in the end.

Scrapbooking and More!

This week I have been working on a scrapbook I have been making of events since we moved last January. Such a lot has happened since then. One of the big events was the conversion of a freezing cold partly converted garage into our 'toy room'. In other words my craft room and Mervyn's computer room. This is the page in my scrapbook of the conversion!!!

I've also been making atcs for Ali's swap of Lord Leighton's Ladies. I enjoyed making these and am quite pleased with them.

Artist Says

Ali on Vintage atc has been running an Artist Says Exchange. Those taking part gave instructions daily for additions to atcs. This was fun. Here are some of my atcs.

Cavallini style cards

Been having fun today making birthday cards Cavallini style!!! Quite pleased with them. Will have to try a different theme from flora and fauna next time!!
