Do you ever make blocks in your dreams? I do and sometimes it's so real I get confused when I can't find them or realize that mmmm ya that could only happen in a dream. I also figure out how to fix mistakes or make something I'm stressing over in my sleep and have to get up and do it before I forget. It's led to some very early mornings for me. It's a good thing I love sunrise and I'm a morning person.

Ladies I am sitting by myself at my sister's babysitting their dogs. Surprised how lonely it is. Really look forward to reading and seeing pictures here. But it is so quiet. That only gives me too much time to think.

Hi Terri, sorry you are lonesome! How about some old movies and handwork tonight? Are the doggies inside with you? Mine is a lot of company....

Let's see if I can find some pictures for you. Not swap blocks, but something....

Shoestring budget... Bought a bunch of cheap glads at the grocery store and made it myself! Also the veil and sash.

Oh mine too. My flowers were also from the grocery store. I made and designed my wedding dress, and most of the brides maids (and my Gma's matron of honor) dress. My gma made the cake and I made the decorations. We (my gma, some close friends and myself) made the food in advance and stored it in friends freezers until the big day.
