Weekend Wedding, A New Baby and Happy Mail!!!!

It was a big weekend for the Rydells that started with a trip to Texas to attend Michael's brother Matt's wedding! We traveled with Michael's parents Sue and Stan - Here are the four of us having fun on the plane...


The wedding was just beautiful! Here is a photo of Matt and his bride Leigh. Isn't her dress gorgeous?

They had the reception in a park and it was a perfect day for it! Michael and I rarely dress up, but it was fun for this special occasion...!

Don't Sue and Stan look elegant? They are so sweet - great role models for a happy marriage...


and then, to make the weekend even MORE special, Michael's sister Anne & hubby John had a baby - their first!!! We were all so excited that we stopped at the hospital on the way home from the airport!!!

Here she is - little Georgiana Clover - or Georgie for short...
Oh my word. New life is so amazing. And Georgie is beautiful. Anne and John are happy parents and everyone is doing well.

One more thing I want to share with you is the fabulous happy mail I received this week! I was so excited to find out that I won a beautiful journal from a giveaway at The Glossy Project blog. The journal is handmade by Penney Klaproth of Faerie Acres. It is even more beautiful in real life than the pictures showed...


Look at all the detail! The stitching and the beading are gorgeous! So much fabulous texture...

Inside there are tabs and a whole bunch of different kinds of papers...


including some handpainted backgrounds...

You can see more of Penney's handmade treasures at her etsy shop! Click here to check it out! As for this journal, I already have an idea of what I might do with it and I'm so excited to start!

Thank you Penney for a beautiful gift!
