Last Thursday we left for four days in San Diego. Our niece, Breanna, was getting married. Here is a picture journey through our four-days-o-family!
The first night, we walked to a pizza place from our hotel for dinner. Oddly enough, our hotel was right across the street from my dad's old Navy base! It was very odd to think that my dad was here, serving our country before I was even born.
Here are the girls posing in front of an old ship that they have on the little boardwalk on our way to dinner.
Here is our family, waiting for the wedding to begin. It was on Point Loma's Alumni lawn under a huge, beautiful tree, overlooking the ocean.
The aisle, with the pom poms Joy made.
My old potting bench, that I rescued from the trash a few years ago, served as the "wishing tree" table.
Here is my board.
I typed up my words in different fonts and cut around them so that I could lay them out where I wanted them.
After deciding where I wanted them, I picked them up one by one and rubbed chalk on the back of them. Then I put the paper back and traced the outline with a pencil.
If you squint you can see the chalk. Then I painted it freehand. Yikes. It was time consuming. My hand isn't the steadiest, so I outlined the orange paint with a brown sharpie to straighten up the lines. It made it look SO much neater! I used a staple gun to attach brown polka dot ribbon and also added a pumpkin man out of my orange vinyl and my "stretch your imagination" cartridge.
A close up of my not so-handy work.
I think it turned out pretty cute! In case you are not a craft blog addict like me, don't think this was my idea, subway art is ALL OVER blogland! This is just my version. =)
I used mini skewers, I think they would be really cute if you made a fruit arrangement, but these were just for a special snack to break up our school day.
