the weekend
friday was a beautiful day for a yard sale! we didn't rake in a ton of money ... but we sold the big stuff (sofa, big recliner, desk), which was good. almost everyone who came bought something, traffic was just slow.
saturday was greg's wedding. it was beautiful. the flowers were gorgeous! some were set in a semi-circle at the front of the stage with the flowers standing a good 18 inches tall - so as they stood behind them to say their vows, they looked like they were in an english garden. very cute. and the fellow who officiated the ceremony was obviously invested in greg & kim's relationship - i could tell he really knew them & cared for them. it's not often that the pastor tears up as he's giving the bride words to say during the ceremony. i love weddings. :)
my ten-year high school reunion was also on saturday. i missed the official event, but got back in town to attend a small "after party" of sorts. it was a lot of fun. mostly a group of people i wasn't very close with in high school, but it was a good time.
i spent most of today crafting with the gals for the popcorn fest. we do these day-long crafting marathons, and i always feel like i should have gotten a LOT more accomplished than i did. today i managed to trim down some photos for framing & make the four bracelets in that picture. i don't think the green one on top is actually done - i need to pick up some more jump rings & add a few more beads to fill in. but at least i did something. being crafty is good.
i'm taking a few days off at the beginning of august to craft. if anyone would be interested in joining me, let me know. you can bring along whatever kind of craft it is that you enjoy or just come to socialize. i wouldn't recommend bringing kids since i'll have sharp objects & small pieces all over the place, but adults are more than welcome. :)
