Here are some FUN happenings from this glorious week off!!!!!
My sister and her family and Brodie and I went to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The movie was, well, fantastic!!! I LOVE Harry Potter, so when I found out this movie was in theaters, I was there. I'm trying to get my son to read the Harry Potter books, but haven't been successful! Here is a picture from the photo booth at the movie theater!
My husband and I got married on June 1, 2002! After the big day, my wedding dress was professionally cleaned and properly packed in a box to last forever! That dress has been through a few moves, including our big move from California to Texas. Well, I got to the point where I was tired of it taking up so much space (the box was HUGE)! I wanted to donate it to a good cause. The charity organizations I looked at either weren't accepting dresses or only wanted dresses that were less than 5 years old! So, to make a long story short... my mother-in-law knows someone who makes burial outfits for angel babies. My prayers had been answered!! That was exactly how I wanted my dress to be used!! I couldn't imagine the heartbreak of losing a child, so I wanted to help those families just a bit by providing them with a beautiful burial gown for their angel! Below is a picture of the gowns made from my wedding dress! They're gorgeous!
WE GOT A NEW CAR!! Even though this happened a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to include it now since I am super excited! We went from a 2007 Ford F150 to a brand new Subaru Outback! It's top the line with eyesight, heated seats, you name it... we absolutely LOVE it! Our truck had 137,000 miles on it and was basically a ticking time bomb!
This week has been amazing... I have been able to work on TpT products. I can't wait until Christmas Break now so that I have a lot of time to work on my fun ideas! Here are two that I listed this week, and I have to say I'm pretty proud of them! Click on the photos below to snag these labels!
AND... to top off my wonderful AND exciting Thanksgiving Break... I got a REALLY great deal on an elliptical machine that my principal happened to be selling! I like to catch up on my favorite TV shows (or even re-watch old shows that I LOVE) when I have a few extra minutes. So, my wonderful husband put up one of our old TV's and bought a Roku for me to watch TV while I'm on the elliptical. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone... I love it! (For all you out there with OCD, the TV is off center because that's where the studs were - YES, it bothers me and my husband, too...he he)!!
I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! It's about time to prep for next week!!
Oh my goodness, you are bringing me to tears with those baby burial gowns! What a beautiful thing to do!!

I know what you mean! It was a very bittersweet decision! Every time I think about how my dress is being used, it makes me tear up!
DeleteI agree - I love how you "recycled" your wedding gown - I've never heard of doing this, but I love it! Congrats on the new car! Heated seats = the BEST! Love your argyles in your blog design!
ReplyDeleteThere are quite a few charities that you can donate wedding dresses to. I loved the idea that my dress help those poor families who lose a child so young! I love my blog design! Thanks for the compliment!
