The setting is beautiful and everyone is all so grown up. I love watching my youngest with his brother and all his cousins' in the wedding party. They have all grown up together and are best friends... does it get any better. All the little ones look adoreable and yes, I have my kleenex ready - a gift to me from the mother of the bride.
I so planned on showing my painting on the hand made paper but it won't be seen until tomorrow - the morning of the wedding so, I will be posting this to Friday's Paint Party super early Saturday morning! Just want to make sure no one sees it before it gets to the wedding site. Yes, I am sure they have more important things to do than follow my blog right now, BUT you never know.
Thanks to Kristin and Eva for hosting Paint Party Friday!!!
Okay, it is after midnight, I think everyone has other things going on besides this....
So, here it is before going to the framers. Carved in the tree are the bride and groom's names. The date of the wedding and the initials of their two boys!!!
Each guest will be asked to stamp their finger in either blossom pink or spring leaf green to add growth to the wedding tree. Their is one print already on it as Mark's daughter is leaving for Brazil for 9 weeks and will miss the wedding. I will post again on Sunday Sketches the tree after the wedding!!! I hope they like it!
cheers, dana
