Loving the Light and Wedding Pics.

Well after a few months away we've returned to the relaxing slower pace of Cambridge Bay. As well to the all day all night light, which I LOVE! I feel energized all the time with this light, and have no problem sleeping. While we were down south we tied the knot in Secret Cove at Rockwater Resort, which is next door to where we live in Halfmoon Bay. We had a wonderful wedding, and all the crazy crafting paid off. Heres some photos of our Special Day...ENJOY!

Here's a shot of Ralph, our ringbearer just before he went down the aisle.And here he is taking one of my bridesmaids down the aisle.
You wouldn't think it but these are Nike Air Pumps made by Cole Haan, but really they ain't as comfy as a sneaker.

I worked with our local florist to come up with some vivid, bright, LOCAL flowers and provided our mint julep cups which kept costs down.

Special K and I found these unique vintage goblets with an arctic scene etched in them. We had them cleaned up by our silversmith, and they were stunning....for goblets.


Miriam Haskell from New York, had these puppies made for ME! Thank you Joy!

Watching a slide show prepared by my friend Dar. Thanks Dar!

Our favourite place to kiss, Pier 17.

Here's some votives. I embossed them, well 160 of em. The glow was the perfect amount of light needed. I probably burnt myself 160 times too!



We danced to Dean Martins "Ain't that a kick in the Head"

Under the Apple Tree....Ralphs favourite place in hot summers.

Pier 17, Davis Bay....I love this shot.
Our friend Steph made our cake. I asked for Hazelnut Chocolate and she did an awesome job!!!

My bridesmaids, Shannon, Kassy...Maid of Honor Michelle, Jillian and Andy.

Wanna know how to drive yourself insane?....Handstamp 100 programs, 1 stamp at a time.

I got these done in a week.

Heres Ralphy again.
Another way of driving yourself insane is making tissue flowers...I made 80. I was making these before we came up North.

My flowergirls....Braelyn, Juli and Madison.
My Mom, Shannon, Andy and Kas.The Bridal Party.

Blizzards and Boneheads

We have less than 4 months until our wedding now so while we're stuck indoors due to the blizzard outside we are getting her done and I'm talking about all the crafts and crap. Before we came up I searched for gilded glass votives. The only ones I found were online at 3.95 US each, they happened to look cheap and tacky so it was a no-go. I wanted around 200 so I decided to make my own. They turned out awesome, after burning my hands several times making them I can say they were well worth the trouble. Towards the end on one of my trips into Costco my friend Dar helped me complete most of them. Thats one thing thats been checked off the list. Another is the wedding invites which I designed, well they are done as they are fresh off the printing press. I was going to finish them up here but with the clock ticking my friend down south is finishing them up for us. My printer friend Rob did an amazing job from what I've seen. If you happen to read this Rob, YOU ROCK! So now come the table linens. I have to say somewhere along the line I've come to very much dislike linens at any food/drink establishment, not all are bad but just from experience of seeing a napkin that was still dirty I've become finicky and a slight snob, or maybe a full out snob but whatever. So not last night but the night before we started to get all the sewing done. K had bought me a new Pfaff machine that does EVERYTHING, it has so many buttons its crazy! We still have a long way to go with the napkins we are at 18 with 132 to go and I will embroider them with our monogram once we're done the basic sewing. Next week I plan on getting started on the tablecloths and those will most likely take till the end of January. So while this howling wind which sounds like a locomotive blows through here the town is shut down, which means we are without water until the weather changes :( As well planes can't land so Special K went out and got a few things to last us till our food mail comes in. As for the Boneheads, Ralph and Deo have been playing. The other day we tried to take them both out for a walk which ended up in Deo running wild and Ralph chasing him, and then us chasing both of em..Ralph of course came back and I ended up chasing down Deo. Deo is still pretty thin but he has put on some weight so his ribs aren't protruding through but you can still feel him. He will accompany me when I head down to Vancouver and Ralph will come down with Special K. I know Deos new family will be happy with him. Anyways I need to get back to the sewing and to playing with the two boneheads. Have a great day people!
