Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Wolfe


Tonight, Wayne & I headed over to Vero Beach to help celebrate our friend Mike’s wedding. The ceremony and location, held on a second story patio overlooking the ocean, were beautiful. Some friends (Trevor, Meredith, Marcie, Ryan & Kevin) were also able to get away for the night so we had fun hanging out with them as the night sped by. …sure wish I’d thought to get a picture of all of us together…

We were really lucky to get away without Charlotte and have some time to ourselves since Sancha and Erik agreed to keep her for a sleepover with her cousins. Thanks guys!!!

Congratulations Mike & Tina, thanks for including us in your big day!

Crafty Teacher/Staff Appreciation Gifts


A few friends have been “gettin’ on me” to include more posts/pictures of my creative endeavors… so here goes.

First up are the stationary sets I made as end of the year gifts for Charlotte’s teachers. I found colorful flat cardstock in two compatible colors, and designed each with the teacher’s name and printed them on my home printer. I added a set of coordinating folded cards to fill out the gift, matching ribbon and the personalized set was complete.


Next up, the appreciation gift I made for the “front office” ladies at Charlotte’s preschool. Pretty self explanatory: five white chocolate ducks…okay six – I thought I might have missed someone and wanted to cover my bases, cute ribbon and rick rack wrapping, a brown tote bag and a quirky thank you note = viola!



Lastly, the project I am MOST proud of…commissioned Cookie Pops! That’s right, in an earlier post I showed the gifts I made Charlotte’s teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. Well, they were a HIT – so much so that one of her teachers asked me to make some for her to give as gifts. What a compliment!! 40 something pops later…and here are the results. Yes, they do taste as good as they look!!!


Charlotte's Last Days of Preschool For The Year


Here are some cute pictures from Charlotte’s last few days in Mrs. Kris & Mrs. Aida’s preschool class this year. Charlotte really enjoyed school and was always so excited to tell us about her friends and fun activities. Even though Charlotte was only going once a week for three months, we feel like she learned so much and could not have had a better introduction to school. We are all gonna mis Mrs. Kris and Mrs. Aida.
