Wedding Planning!!

   I have been super busy this past week as we wind down on the final few weeks before my son's Wedding.  I am so excited and happy and can hardly wait for the day to be here!  If you know me well, you know that Brian and Meg have changed their plans a few times and the last plan was to elope, which I admit was very bittersweet for me.   Happily, just this past week, they decided to go back to the very first plans and dates we all talked about for months, only on a much smaller and more intimate way!!  I think it will be a perfect day and I could not be happier!   I love them both so much and look forward to having a daughter in law, as sweet and wonderful as Meghan is.  They are very compatible and truly make each other very happy.

    I know that this day will be very special for them and I'm pouring my heart into everything and anything I can do to make it a memorable day, they both will cherish forever.   The immediate families, dear family friends, as well as all of their best friends will be there to share this special day.  They chose a wonderful romantic beach setting for the ceremony, which I love.  It's a hometown beach that has always been my favorite and one where Brian has spent many summers.


   Their reception will be held outside at Meg's parent's home, which is also the perfect setting for this intimate, casual yet elegant, event.  The wedding colors are Cream, Teal and Coral, which I love and also go so well with a beach wedding.    I am totally thrilled and so happy with these plans and how well everything is now falling into place.  Maybe it will turn out that short planning makes it far less stressful for all.   Instead of a formal rehearsal dinner, we and all the wedding guests will taking a wonderful sunset cruise and I hope it's a lovely night.

    It's been so much fun looking for inspiration and ideas and I find a lot of wonderful color inspiration on Pinterest!  I am hoping I can create their Guest Book and a Card box in these colors and that's what I am working on now!  -- Wish me Luck!

    I am totally having fun with the last minute details and working on a few things that I am putting together for their reception.  After all these months of looking for wedding ideas and inspiration, it's such a joy to see it all falling so nicely into place!


    I hope to be back to my card-making and challenges soon, but for now I am one very happy Mom and my main focus now is on making everything special for The Wedding!!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
