My Parents 50th Wedding Anniversary
This time of year, no matter how much I try to plan and prepare, I feel I am ALWAYS behind.
This year is no exception! I am now trying to catch up on my blog.
On October 11, 2014 my parents celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in El Paso, Texas. I traveled to El Paso a few days before to help with the final party preparations. Among them, bake and decorate my parents anniversary cake.
According to my sister, I got the creative gene and she did not. As a result, party invitations and decorations became my responsibility. Weeks prior to the party, I worked with gold spray paint and gold glitter to create table decorations. My sister and I planned the party, it was a labor of love. My brother provided the live music.
Photos was a huge part of the decorations. I created many photo timelines, inside and outside my sister's house. Countless hours were spent at night gathering photos to reflect a lifetime of memories and 50 years of marriage. It was bittersweet. I smiled and also felt sadness to see faces of so many loved ones lost throughout the years. However, I am very blessed and grateful to have both of my parents. I am happy I was able to provide them with meaningful decorations which they and their guests enjoyed.
Over 100 guests came to celebrate. My parents loved spending time their family and friends. We had live music and great food. I loved seeing so many friends and family, many who I have not seen in years. Naturally, I took many photos. A small sampling are posted on my personal Facebook Page. Here is just a few photos; however, on my blog it is mostly the decorative elements of the party.
My family, David, Laura and Alex were not able to attend the party. With both kids at school, especially with Laura being a senior in high school we decided it was better I should go alone. I missed my family not being able to be with me and the rest of my family in El Paso, but there are times when it is just not possible due to school commitments. Also, it is extremely expense for 4 people to fly to El Paso.
One of the 3 gifts I created for my parents. I created 16 x 20 photo collages. This one is from their Wedding Day. The second one was from their 25th Wedding Anniversary and the third from their 40th Wedding Anniversary.
So grateful my parents were able to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary.
They were so HAPPY!

Haute Handbags - I got published!
Lots to catch up on, but first...
I am so happy my vintage embroidered re-purposed clutch handbags were published by Haute Handbags, Autumn 2014 issue published by Stampington & Co.
I received my issue of Haute Handbags last week. I wanted to immediately write a post on my blog about it but I just did not have time until now. I am very happy Haute Handbags continues to publish my work.
Quick update (or maybe not so quick):
After the September A Paris Street Market, June and I went shopping for Christmas fabric to create a whole series of Christmas garlands incorporating vintage lace tablecloths which I dyed green, red, brown, grey. I got busy cutting and sewing the individual garland banners.
I thought I was doing well, getting an early start on Christmas and would have plenty of new items for the October A Paris Street Market. It was not to be.
Mid September, I was asked to substitute teach for 2 days plus I was scheduled additional days here and there as substitute paraprofessional and teacher. Due to unexpected surgery complications, the teacher I was subbing for needed more time to recover. I was happy to help out and continued extending my substitute teacher assignment. My assignment lasted 11 days. In order to have continuity, our school principal asked I stayed on with the same 3rd grade class while other substitutes took the previous assignment I was originally scheduled for.
Love the 3rd grade class, a bunch of great kids! I already had a lot of respect for teachers in general but now I have so much more respect for what they do. I had great help from the other 3rd/4th grade teachers and the school's literacy coach who helped me with lesson plans. I love working at my neighborhood elementary school. The staff is very supportive and I was happy I was able to stay on as long as I could. Thankfully, the 3rd graders have their teacher back and everything is returning back to normal.
During this time, I got very little done with my Christmas garlands. I also started work on preparations for my parents 50th Anniversary Party this coming weekend!
I have worked on creating many decorations and spent many evenings and nights going through photographs (scanning old photos plus searching through my computer files) to prepare several surprises for my parents. It has been a labor of love.
I did manage to get a small assortment of Christmas garlands in time for the October A Paris Street Market. Thankfully, they were well received and will continue to work hard to get them all done by the next show.
Tomorrow, I will fly to El Paso, TX. I will bake and decorate my parents 50th Anniversary cake. Who knew it would take so much time to make the final preparations, including gathering all my cake supplies/tools. I wish my kids and husband would come with me to El Paso, TX to celebrate my parents 10th wedding anniversary; sadly, it is not possible. Hopefully, next week when I return I will get back on track and blog regularly.
Here is a pictures of some of my new Christmas Garlands at this past weekend's A Paris Street Market. Thanks to everyone who came to support me. It was a great show and grateful so many customer purchased by Halloween and Christmas Garlands!
