She is a very genuine person...writing from her heart.
She works very hard and puts her all into everything!

I hope you had a wonderful Birthday, Diana!
Have a great New Year!

The favors are from M. Stewart also.
They are dahlia bulbs wrapped in tissue paper.
We just loved these ideas!

  1. Such wonderful joy written all over your faces. Your daughters are beautiful and I know you are so proud of them as well you should be.

    The photos are great--I love the second blossom one and the cake is incredible. Is that the cake Rachel will have?

    Congratulations to a lovely family,
    Dianne

  9. I also have two daughters, and I love your quote--a daughter is a little girl who grows up to be a friend. Amen. :)

    I shared in all the wedding planning and festivities with my older daughter just five years ago. What fun and joy--and, I admit, occasional stress. Have fun and don't fret over the details.

    God bless!
