Time Keeps On Slipping Into The Future!

Had to make a trip back to my hometown in Bucks County today; my heart was broken when I saw that this famous Bucks County Bridal Shop was torn down.  That lady was around my age when I got my wedding dress there!  Life is slipping by so fast!   This was the place to get your dress back in the day.  Mine was on the sale rack...and was simply perfect.  My mom tried to talk me into a cheaper one, but when my dad heard about it later that night, he came into me and talked to me about my dress, and then said, go get the one you want.  I remember feeling like a princess in that dress....no one has ever called me princess, but I sure felt like one that day. I think my dress and vail all together were $800.00.  It still hangs in my closet.  Thanks Again, mom and dad!

Inspired Again~

     I've been inspired recently to get back into hand painting furniture, it's something I did in my 20's, and 30's before baby #4 and homeschooling.  I am so grateful for my God inspired, entrepreneurial mind cravings..it's all I have really.  I wish I went to college...I think I would have done well, and for years I felt inferior because I didn't go.  However, as I look back on it now, I can see that all along the way, the Lord has been faithful and used different people in my life to encourage me and prod at me to do the things I am good at, or,at the very least the things I enjoy!
     There is so much I want to do in life and I am so blessed to have a family who supports me in the things I get my hands into.  I always wanted to be an interior decorator and I am really....but I do dream of being 70 and getting my diploma, so who knows.  Till then, being the motherboard here in my home, available to my family is where I stay....but who says I can't have two businesses, right?

Barn Weddngs Make My Heart Sing~

Last week I helped coordinate a wedding and reception at a barn which is nestled in a little piece of God's country, in Elizabethtown, Pa.

Brittney's Hope is a non-profit foundation that helps children with special needs, sibling groups and older children with adoption.  It's a beautiful story all the way around.

In Full Swing~


Well, I'm full swing with weddings and just can't get enough.  I love meeting with a Bride-to-be and hearing all her dreams, then helping her figure out how to make that happen!  This job never get's boring!
