The Sweet and Sinister SWAP is now CLOSED! I'm sorry to do this so quickly, but I have 100 participants and that's the maximum number I am allowed to have on the private blog. That is also about as large of a group as I want to handle for partnering up. I hope you understand. If you have an invoice outstanding, please let me know if you do not want to do the swap. If you do, please make your payment ASAP so I can get partners together. What a response!
***However, if you just want in on the Sweet and Sinister blog without participating in the swap, I am creating a blog just for all the tutorials, projects and giveaways without the swap component. This can handle another 100 readers. So if you didn't get in on the swap, but want 3 months of fun and inspiration, that is still open to you for the $10 fee. Let me know at artsy_mama@hotmail.com.
On the homefront, I'm still enjoying lots and lots of family time together. My sister and her family are in town for one more day. Today was extra special, we celebrated my parent's Ruby Wedding Anniversary...
40 years!!!
We went to a garden nearby and enjoyed watching the kids run around and took in all the gorgeous flowers.
Chloe gave Nana a big Anniversary hug!
Here are the girls...myself, my mom and my sister. Love it when we're all together!
We presented them with crowns and handmade t-shirts. My mom is showing the front and my dad the back.
More gorgeous flowers.
And a toast!
I love you mom and dad!!!
Laura and I got a chance to do some more crafting. Here she put together two banners from my kits.
And she made her own Delight picture. Fun!
Happy Day!

Congratulations to them. What an amazing accomplishment. They got married in 1968, and that's the year I was born, so I'd say it was a pretty good year!
ReplyDeleteWow - what nice, colorful pictures. I don't know if my Dad would've worn the hat for photos. Good for him! Love all the flower pics too!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your parents!! They look like a very happy couple to me. Good luck on partnering everybody up. I'm so looking forward to this swap!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to your parents. Wow have you been busy! I love reading your blog.
