Update...



Remember this nifty little gadget?
(See my post on March 26th.)

For the "newbies"... back in March
I bought my friend here. A gal I
work with has one (different than
mine) and she tracks her steps with
a group at her church.
Well, I became curious and wondered
"just how many steps did I take a day."

As of today with the total from March
up to last night I have --

Taken 362,629 steps
Gone  144.88 miles
Burned  24,016 calories

Each night I write my daily totals down.

Woo hoo!

School keeps me busy, so it will be interesting
to see what my totals will be over summer
break. I'll have it on don't you fret.

On May 19th I will have had my friend for
two months. You would be surprised how
you will push yourself to get those totals
you want. If I am shy of the 10,000 steps,
you can find me walking my hall or around
the kitchen just to get there!

The Wedding Gift




I went for something a little
different for the gift.

Ta-Da, it's a picnic basket
with a big turquoise(ie)
blingy bow! That was fun
to make, cause I ended up
blue glitter all over the place
in our hotel room plus on me
too! The liner is in blues, greens
and yellows.


 

Inside, we filled the basket with
all things "pinicky". A tablecloth,
four reusable plates in blues and
yellows, 4 clear plastic tumbler 
glasses, paper napkins, clear plastic
wear, wipes, hand sanitizer, a food
tent, glow sticks (for fun), a first aid
kit,  A can opener/corkscrew and an
ice pack.




Happy picnicing to
the newlyweds!

If you missed the wedding post,
go back one post.

Here Comes the Bride



Hello friends, I am back
and we will spend some
time catching up over the
next few posts.
If you remember, near the
end of the challenge, I was
away for a bit. We took a
trip out of town to Oklahoma
to see my niece get married!
The photo above shows the
letter to her new last name, it
was projected above the altar.




Here is my niece Jennifer
her groom Shaun and her
parents Cindy and Gregg
my sister-in-law and brother-
in-law. The bride's mom is
Mr. Ken's sister.




The altar with the unity candle.
In the choir area behind the
altar you can get a glimpse of
the candles placed in the
rows.



In the reception area, this table
held a a bucket of streamers,
pens and questionnaires that
Jennifer and Shaun came up
with for guests to fill out
as the reception began.
The streamers were giving to
guests right before Jennifer
and Shaun left the church.

 


Here is one of the many tables
in the reception area. Their
colors were turquoise, yellow
and red. Each table was sprinkled
with candy wrapped in these colors
and in the middle of the table is
a blue cloth with a glass teacup
overturned on it. Under the glass
is a yellow flower and on top of
the glass is a red votive candle.




The wedding cake--I think it
speaks for itself. The draping
IS frosting though it looks like
fabric.




Chatting with guests. Love this shot!




Time to cut the cake.




A whole lot of loot for the
newlyweds. They are going
to open these sometime after
the get settled from their honey-
moon in Florida.

Jennifer and Shaun designed
their own invitations and the
questionnaires.

Next post will focus on our gift
that I made.
