wedding snippets



It's pouring today! Perfect for making the grass green before our wedding...yah right! It better not rain on our day!!! oh well such as life

Life has been GOOD!!! my brother just returned from the ship on Friday and it has been awesome having him here. We've had guests all week (Clowes - a family of 4) and Swedish Jossi and her husband Tim were here to visit this weekend as well.

It has been insane around the Ambros farm - but especially around the table. Auntie Susan and Uncle Bob came out on Sat too...and with my brother David's family extended our table far into the living room and on into the kitchen!

Mom has baked 50 dozen buns or something...and thankfully is taking a nap this afternoon!!! Amazing! Sweets, jellies, jams, food lists, and groceries are piling up!

Today I've made our centre pieces and our guest book, as well as various other "crafty" things. And now we are finishing off our party favours - (and by "we" I mean, Leigh and Jason.

I've also set up our front yard - we've painted, and washed the front of the house...Also we have been cleaning the gardens out, trimming the hedges and mowing the lawn (and by "we" I mean, Brent and Crystal and mom)

I've set up the seating plan for the reception, and have finally made the finishing touches on the order of the Ceremony.

whew!

And that doesn't include Harvest... Leigh has been putting siding on my brother's new house! so the excitement never ends here.

Leigh and I are doing well! We are enjoying every minute of this planning. I was mourning the fact that my dream to plan my wedding since I was born will be ending in 2 short weeks (sniff sniff) oh well!

Now to prepare for marriage!

Well, sorry about the last picture not coming through - Dial up is fun...you should try it! I will try another photo. It's Leigh and Evee when he was a fake illegal alien!

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.
