These boots were made for walkin’…

right down the aisle. I may have mentioned it before, that I have done a lot of work to help my good friends with their daughter’s wedding.

I have put my graphics skills to good use. Designing invites, and gift tags, the wedding program, the seating arrangement, bridal shower decorations. There has been a lot of crafting going on, floral arranging, succulent planting… you name it. We managed to finish a week early. Hallelujah AMEN!

And that is not even the half of it. The men folk have planted and and cleared, and built. And during all this, the blessed couple was also in the middle of building their home! The wedding will be in their back field.

A few of these, and a few of those… click to zoom.

And now with only 3 days to myself, I am starting on my gifts for the bride and groom. I know, I know. But I must work well under pressure, because the first one came together faster than I had anticipated.

It is a down home country, outdoor wedding. And these are the boots the couple will be wearing. The mother of the bride received the photo in a text. I knew instantly, that it would be a memorable… memory.

The big day is this Saturday, and we are expecting triple digits. We are all saying prayers for cooler temps. Still work to be done…. better get to it!
