Wow! What a whirl-wind the last week has been. We are finally back in the freezing Midwest, after spending 9 days in the lovely Texas weather. Abby's wedding was so fun. She was a gorgeous, poised bride. I miss her already, and can't wait to spend more time with my new "brother"!
Now, since the gifts have already been given, I can show you what I had been working on for her shower. I have really been wanting to try freezer paper stenciling, and of course I had to try something wayyy too detailed for my first time. But it turned out so cool. I made her this shirt from a picture I stole off of Greg's myspace page:
Here's the original:
If anyone is interested in a tutorial for the stencil thing, let me know. But there are already some great ones out there. My next stenciling project will be of Emma's face. Can't wait to try it!
Emma was darling as a flower girl, and fairly well-behaved, too. (She's only two, she's only two, she's only two....this was my mantra during the ceremony.) Everyone loved the dresses.
My time in Texas was a blast. I had been really home-sick for all my old haunts, so I made time with my mom and grandmother to hit some of them before we headed back. We went here, here, and here. There were some other excellent things that happened in Texas (presents!!), but I'll have to wait until I get pictures of them all. Thanks for the great trip, everyone!
