Wedding Project

Since late fall of 2012 I have been working on and off for a young bride making some things for her engagement and wedding.  It started with invitations for an engagement party that her mom was giving.  Next came "Save the Date" and now the wedding packets.  Her theme has been peacocks and the main color is brown.  (Her last name is Peacock and she is becoming a Brown!) I did not take pictures of the engagement party invitation or the Save the Date announcements. But...I did get some pictures of the wedding packets!   Every piece of card stock sprayed with a pearl shimmer Invitation had a lace punch on each side. Each invitation took 10 punches, two punches broke and the third started to stick!  (more on that later!) Belly Bands for invitations, initial is stamped and heat embossed (these are for the invitations, but the same was made for the packet that will hold the information for the wedding) Packet to hold information for the we

June Anniversary

Four short years ago today, Son #2 became one with the love of  his life.  It is so hard to believe that these four years have gone by so quickly.  Through this union they have given us a beautiful granddaughter.  What a joy it is to see our offspring in the role of husband and father!  I must say, we are very partial to our daughter-in-love.  I can say that she truly is a daughter! Happy Anniversary Jason and Ashley! We love you!   {yes, they do have REAL names!}

Wonderful Weekend

Friday and Saturday was the 2013 Indiana Home Educators' Convention.  Hubby and I have been home educating and discipling  our nesters for a total of 16 years.  This is the first convention that we have ever attended.  It was wonderful!  It was held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, not far from our home. We went with some very good friends of ours while our nesters babysat their four little ones. A few highlights of the convention: It was wonderful to see some of the political leaders of Indiana come and speak at the convention.  What a blessing to know that there are political leaders that recognize that educating children belongs to the parents and are willing to stand in the gap and help us keep this right.  Not to mention a friend of ours, Eric Miller from Advance America  who informs and educates the people of Indiana about our state government and issues that are important to us.  I was able to meet four wonderful, godly ladies that I follow through blogs!  Robin Brook
