The Wedding

Sarah and Colby had a great wedding.  The ceremony was perfect.  Our brother Benji was "The Reverend" (which is also his current nickname ; )  And he did the best job (that's him above in the red shirt).  The photo of the cute boy in the hat is my little brother, and little packets with hearts on the chairs was bird seed instead of rice for showering the bride and groom.

I'm going to keep it short tonight, but will post again tomorrow.

Sweet dreams to all of you who are going to bed now.....

Love, Carrie

An Afternoon at the Beach.....

It was just my little brother and I for a good five hours at the beach on Tuesday.  We had the best afternoon visiting the Dungeness Spit!!!  It is a rocky beach covered with beautiful stones, but close to the water we found some sand to lay out our blanket.  The sound and motion of the waves were so peaceful, as the tide slowly came in.  We took time to make a sandcastle, and wade in the cold ocean water until our legs were numb.  Our beach blanket was hot from the sun, and felt amazing!  We listed to music on my ipod, and just relaxed.  The above photo is the early evening sun hitting the tall trees, on our short half mile hike back to the parking lot.  My little brother told me he was very happy we could spend time together, just the two of us.  He has been asking me to take him back every day since : )

Pink Ninja Monday!

A layout for *G*  She is my dearest friend.


My room (at my Mom's) is officially being taken over with delightful goodness.  So far I have a piece of embroidery hanging, magenta twinkle lights, a glass pictcher filled with my freshly picked lavender bouquet, and now this sweet 6x12 layout sitting on my dresser.  Needless to say I fall asleep every night feeling blessed with my visit to Sequim : )


Here are some of the details of the layout.....



I used both the July kits for this layout, *Toast & Bananas* and *Sunday Afternoon*.  I am in love with these colors right now....so fresh, bright, and cheerful!!!

Happy Pink Ninja Monday!

Miss you Gloria!!!

Lovely Lavender!!!

This is my self portrait for July 29th.  It was a great day!!!  

I visited a local lavender field (and snapped some photos), while my sweet mother picked blueberries with my little brother : )









The smell was amazing!  I even picked my own bouquet to take home.....

Have a lovely day!!!
