The gumpaste flowers..where they ended up..

The beautiful cake with the gumpaste topper.
 Ana with the topper and side gumpaste flowers.

 The bride's entrance... escorted by her dad.

 Check the bride's bouquet............. 


Check out the bridesmaids' bouquets around-about
the wedding cake.
They all match.

A Trip ...

Can you find at least one hint in either of these pictures 
 of our destination state?

The Importance of Our Choices Each Day

A lovely wedding we recently attended!

 The setting..

 Quiet wonder..

  
Ready and waiting..

The joining...


 Afterwards...
.......................................
There are a good many things which would not be worth bothering about
if I were going to live only 70 years,
but which I had better bother about very seriously
 if I am going to live forever.

Fall

 Walking down our driveway with the little dogs.

 Some leaves near the house in the early morning light.

Later in the day...

We have many trees around our home and therefore many leaves to rake. We have enjoyed the pleasant fall weather the Lord has given us this year.

Gumpaste Flowers

The latest project we have been working on a little each day: making Calla Lilies in hopes to get some realistic looking creations to make a wedding cake topper for a friend.
 This is the initial step of making the shape and letting them dry.

 The color being applied.

 More time to hang and dry.

These are not totally finished..they still need some fine tuning and some Luster Dust application.

Next some roses and berries need to be made to add to the Calla Lilies for the cake topper.

While walking one day...

...the girls captured a picture of Rich and me. 
I like the hues in this photo and the smiles.
