Weddings are Big in any family, and I made wedding accessories for years, along with decorating the receptions for the celebrations of the joining of those in love, with new beginnings.
Penny with a daughter and a niece getting married soon this is just perfect. Downloading and buying. and I feel honored to be a part of such a wonderful book : )
Everyone that makes their own craft pieces is unique in their own right. I have spent years and years making crafts, and am currently working on 30 porcelain and resin angels to donate to the CFC food drive, which I do every year. I have already completed 15 other Angels, and need to complete 20 more before the first of November. I have 2 Art Degrees, but have been a crafter for over 30 years. I never draw a picture of what I am going to do, I just see it in my mind and go for it. Not everything I do works out, but I learn for each thing that I make. That is part of the fun of making something. I still worry that someone else may not like what I create, but you just have to take a risk and go from there. Thank you for your praise Angela, I appreciate it.
Thank you soooo much Ms. Penny ! I will try and post some of my decorations and centerpieces as well. They are no where as good as yours but I do my best. I love all things vintage and I love how you used the earings and old keys. I already own all those things, I collect all things vintage !
I am so glad this book was helpful. And yes there are so many sites. I buy how to books all the time, and a great way to get ideas is to go to the craft stores, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Joannes, that give away "free" how to phamplets. I have made a lot of bouts and bouquets for Stormy's daughters wedding next spring, and the pictures are on JAP, and on Facebook, under my name Penny Hall. Try squidoo.com/...,andmichaels.com/...0147,default,pg.html to name a few.
Penny, this book is a God send for me ! For the past 6 years I have been the Chairwomen over a HUGE fundraiser and auction. I am running out of fresh ideas for the decorations. It is the week of valentines day and I try not to be over the top with the pink and red thing. I have done Pink and silver, pink and red, shades of pink, silver and white. I love , love the black and white idea and have wanted to do that so bad, now I know how to start. I also adore the candles and glass beads on the cover. In fact I already have enough of the beads, votives and different size glass containers to do it. Last year I had 20 tables of 10 people. It was beautiful but I bought 20 dozen roses from a florist supple shop and arranged them ALL by MYSeLF, holy crap, I will never, ever, do that again. It was grueling, they had to be rehydrated (under water, leaves stripped, cut to size (under water) and arranged . Took me forever, and I ran out of time. But I auctioned off each arrangement for $40.00 so they paid for themselves pretty much. If you have any ideas or websites that you think would help me I would sure appreciate it. Thank you so much for making this brilliant cookbook, I am buying one right now ! Blessings, Angela
