Wedding Photos

2012-04-28T17:26:00.002-07:00

on Sat April 21 my son Mark wed his lovely lady Rachel (Madison's mommy). The wedding was beautiful, Rachel looked stunning in her wedding dress, Mark looked fabulous in his tux. Rebecca and Jordan were beautiful in red, Rod and Chris looked great in their tuxes too! Sebastian looked so grown up as he walked his mom down the aisle. We can't forget little Madison who wore a lovely white dress for the ceremony and a red dress for the 'party'. as always she was adorable. The services were performed by Evelyn (Rachel's mom) and were lovley. Everything about the wedding was wonderful. It was a joy to see their family and friends there to support them.Meadow Gardens had everything done so nice and the food was yummy. The photographer took lots of pictures and the D. J. played great music. Much happiness to the new 'Mr. & Mrs."

Belated Happy New Year!

2012-02-27T17:49:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone,
Sorry I've not been available lately....life kinda gets the best me sometimes. My migraines are still acting up even with meds...oh well.
I've been having fun making scrapbooks. My son, Mark and his lady, Rachel are getting married in April. I'm having a bridal shower for Rachel next month so thought I'd start a wedding album for them. I've set it up so they can choose what photos they'd like to use, after that I'll put the photos in and finish the album for them.
I've also made my very first chipboard album. It's for Madison & her mom & dad and again I've left the photos out so the parents can choose which ones they want to use. I think it turned out very well.
We had our 2 grandson's Alex & Thomas for the weekend and Alex helped me paint the chipboard (he did a great job too). Below is the album I made, let me know what you think of it!
