Wedded Bliss

One of my best friends got married this weekend! And it was a fabulous day. Louise looked absolutely radiant in her dress, and there was not a dry eye in the church as we watched Kurtis see his bride for the first time. It was such a touching moment. I had never been to a wedding so well organized and relaxed. Leigh and I arrived the day before to help out with the set up and found everything already done.

The flowers were simple: a few orchids with some greenery, and her bouquet had some added white roses. Also, she used large planters filled with white petunias for a beautiful touch in the church. Everything was simple and gorgeous.

I was honoured to be asked to be one of the bridesmaids, and asked to lead a worship song "Blessed Be Your Name" with Audrey and Ralph. This was especially special as both Ralph and Audrey are planning to move on to new things, and it was the last time we could play and sing together before they left.

At the end of the night, they had a send off, and of course some friends of theirs got a hold of their getaway car and had a little fun. Both Kurtis and Louise were great sports about it though.


Leigh was asked to be the videographer...and had his hands full with working 2 camera angles at the same time. And because of that we weren't able to get many photos taken, but here's one of the four of us together

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
