Search for the perfect cake backdrop

I wanted to get a backdrop for my cake table at my reception.  So my mom and I started searching and researching to see what would be the perfect backdrop for my cake table.  Now you can rent a backdrop, but you must put all the material and all of the lights on yourself, you are only renting the stand.  So we were off to see what would be the best option for what we were wanting to do at the reception. 

My mom found these really cool trellises on sale and so we were off to the races.....

The first step was to pain them white since they were just plain wood....


Here is my dog, Snickers watching the whole process....


She thinks she should help out with the painting :)


The next step after we got them painted white, was to put white lights on them so that the light will show through....


I am very focused on what I am doing in this picture...


After the lights were put on the arch, it was then time to put the material on them to give them some color....



I am thinking really hard about where to put my next staples at in this picture....


Here is an idea of what it will look like when we are done with it, still trying to decide if I need to add a bow of white or just leave it all purple now....





For the final picture, you will have to wait until after the wedding when I blog about the cake table :)

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do.  I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that.  There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time.  This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now.  Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?"  Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen?   Now that is something amazing to me.  400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
