It's finally here...Wedding week! My son comes into town tomorrow and then we start a crazy, jam packed, wedding week!
Speaking of jam packed, my little house is bursting with all of the decor and projects we have worked on for the last 6 months
This is the corner with the rehearsal dinner decorations. The dinner will be at a little outdoor cafe around the corner from my house...Yikkes, lets hope we don't have any crazy weather events!
This corner holds all of the decor for the outside morning wedding and following brunch reception....I can't wait for the omelet station and mashed potato bar..Doesn't that sound great!
Here is a few more wedding projects I haven't shown you, the future DIL covered these letters from Hobby Lobby with moss
And her Mom made these cute little coloring book kits to occupy the kids that are attending
And I made 15 Tussie mussies that will be filled with baby's breath and roses and hang at the end of each row
Before I leave ......
.......I had to share this with you, I found a long dress to wear to the wedding, but since it's a morning wedding I took it to Nadia the seamstress to hem. I wanted it hemmed just above the knees, but Nadia informed me in her Romanian accent...... "Oh, no, it cannot be just above the knee because the top of your knees are WRINKLED"....What!!!!
Come on, like I don't have enough wrinkles every where else..... Now I have wrinkled knees!!! Oh for cripes sakes ladies, go check your knees....So, here it is HEMMED JUST BELOW THE WRINKLES!!
I'll be back as soon as I can with wedding pictures!
I'll be back as soon as I can with wedding pictures!
Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Creating!

hahahaha, what? wrinkled knees....so funny!!
this wedding is going to be soooooooooo beautiful!
Be proud of all you have done dear Carol! This will be a momentous occasion and enjoy every second of it. Lovely decor. Adorable kids kits. Wrinkles...Pffff! We have earned each one!! Blessings to all...
I can't wait to see the wedding details when it comes together, you've done a fabulous job and can't wait to see your dress it looks beautiful. Wrinkled knees ??? I sure wouldn't have considered that detail !! :)
Circa 1940s, those wrinkled knees were the cats meow! Contests were held and prizes awarded to women whose 'knee wrinkles' resembled tiny faces!
Never mind your so-called 'wrinkled' knees..everyone has those..but she's right as far as style goes..that is the trendy length...
Love your tussy mussies..and looks like your son is marrying into a creative family, which should bode well for future creativity!
Have a wonderful time, Carol...don't work too hard, dance lots!
Too funny! My knees AND my elbows are like wrinkly little elephant skin...yuk! This is going to be such a beautiful wedding - enjoy every minute! Then breathe...

Looks like you've got all the pretties under control. Best wishes to all of you!
Wrinkled knees? You cracked me up with this one! One nice seamstress you have there, lol! The wedding decorations are so pretty!
First of all . . . I think your knees are perfect, LOL
There is something very delightful about a morning wedding. I have never attended one, but it sounds wonderful.
Everything is so lovely and there is so much thought and love that has gone into this celebration. Congratulations to your family and God bless you with a perfectly wonderful day.
I will be watching your site for photos.
Best wishes,
Connie :)

Carol,
Oh...I just can't believe she told you that about your knees...if she could only see mine. LUV those sweet tussie mussies and your future DIL did a great job on the letters.
Blessings,
Linda
Oh my goodness, what a thing to say about your knees...your dress and knees look just fine to me:-) After all the preparations, it's just about time. Your creations are gorgeous and I love those mossy letters and the coloring book kits for the children.
Oh wow, you are ready!! Good luck with everything. I know it is going to be a beautiful wedding.
Dear Carol,
Wishing you a Lovely Day.

Teresa

Welcome to the Wrinkled Knee Club. You are now officially a card-carrying member!;>)
Everything is looking wonderful. How very, very exciting to have this Blessed event going on this week. I can't wait to see more pictures- xo Diana
So excited!! I loved watching all the stuff unfold and love the new stuff. That is a WONDERFUL idea about the coloring books, btw. Brilliant! Everything looks wonderful, and I'll bet if I saw those knees, I wouldn't see a wrinkle on them.
BTW, I happen to have had a morning wedding, and I think they are the best ever.
Give yourself the gift of a wonderful, blessed week, and if you see a blonde behind a large, potted plant, just ignore her. She's harmless.
Such pretties. And I'll be your knees are quite pretty, too! I just cracked up when I read that part. Have a wonderful time!!!♥♫
You look like one organized mother of the groom!! Enjoy the festivities!
Jane
I LOVE all of the things that you have created and can not wait to see the Wedding pictures!

Goog luck for the big day I am sure the sun will shine brightly for them. Look forward to pictures.
I'm SOOO excited for you! And YOUR MOG dress? The gem of a hem looks gorgeous at your knees, my dear!

These photos remind me of how tired we were after my daughther's wedding a few years ago. God bless you...and I'm not even going to look at my knees!!
Looks to be the most creative, lovely wedding ever. You've done so many amazing cute things. Have a wonderful celebration. I'm off to check my knees.
Oh, that was funny! It's all in the perspective... I don't have wrinkled knees because mine are too pudgy! I'd rather have the wrinkles.
God bless your wonderful weekend. I hope everything goes as you have planned.
Claudia
LMAO Carol "below the wrinkles", love that brutal honesty!
BTW, it's been an absolute pleasure these past months, traveling this wedding adventure.
This is going to be a lovely wedding. I hope you can relax enough to enjoy everything and everyone.
Blessing to you and the wedding couple, Ginger
Oh Carol, the wedding is going to be so special. All your creations are so organized and ready to go for the big day. I love the tussies for the rows. So glad you found a gorgeous dress. You had me LOL about the knee wrinkles. I am going to go check now!! LOL
Enjoy and best wishes to the happy couple.
Hugs, CM
All your creations for the wedding are beautiful.. it will be a very memorable wedding indeed. Your dress looks quite lovely, I imagine wrinkled knees would not have been noticed. Ha.
Mine aren't necessarily wrinkled, but they both have a knee length surgical scar!!!! Plus the staples used (instead of stitches) gives the scar a zipper look to it!! (I do prefer to keep them covered.) Here's wishing your son and d-i-l a beautiful sun filled day for the wedding.
wrinkled knees????? good Lord..... anyway, ill be brief as i know you are beyond busy:). just want to wish you a very very Happy Thanksgiving. i also wish for you the most beautiful weekend. im sure youre so excited. have 1 of my own dec. 3. anyway, things will go and be beautiful that day. you should be oh so proud of your accomplishments to help the kids. congrats on your new daughter. have a fantastic day. susy
Hey Wrinkly Knees...hahaha, man this is hilarious! I can't believe she said that to you Carol! I hope you have a fantastic wedding week. You have been SO busy! xoxo P.S. I'm sure you have GREAT knees!
I hope the day is perfect in every way--including a few oops moments to make it memorable! Enjoy yourself!
Looking forward to hearing all about it :)
It is all gorgeous...hope you can relax and enjoy!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful wedding journey with us. I have enjoyed every detail and picture! Now time for you to relax and treasure the sweet moments.
Carol- It will all be over soon and you can take some time to get back to your life. The wrinkled knees, I was told the same thing by my tailor when my daughter got married last June. Oh well. You have done so many lovely decorations, just everything. You have truly been kind. I hope they, your son, and daughter in law, appreciate it. Blessings and enjoy the weekend.
Paula Lusk
Oh you are so great!! You and your wrinkled knees! Here she is trying to hide them and you blurt it out on your blog! You really are great! I love all the wedding fun you have been sharing! The moss covered letters are really a great idea, and I can't wait to see how it all went!
Blessings,
Susie
Carol!
CAN NOT wait to see all the photos :)
I say who cares if you have wrinkles on your knees..it's better than fat ones!
xo
Roselle
You should have told Nadia that you are so comfortable in your own skin that your knee wrinkles don't bother you a bit or, of course, you could have said "Oh those? Those are just laugh lines." I have never heard of anyone worrying about knee wrinkles ever.
Carol, I've been thinking about you all weekend, and I prayed for your son and now-official DIL on Saturday. I'm sure that it was a glorious day, thanks in large part to the role you played in planning it.♥
I don't think that I will ever forget your wrinkled knees story as long as I live! hehehe (I just checked mine--they are both wrinkled *and* fat!)
xoxo
