Where are the doves?

Today was my good friend( and co-worker)'s Wedding shower. As you look at the pictures you will see what my focus was (cake and food) LOL! It was a great time though and she got wonderful gifts (especially the new muffin tins and muffin recipe - hint hint, wink wink).

The title of this post stems from a whole lot of ribbing I have given Miranda over her mom's suggestion that maybe she should have a dove theme wedding and the fact that she is going to have real doves at the ceremony - I have bought little dove inspired gifts for her over the last year and today was no exception - I wish I would have gotten a picture of it but she didn't even take it out of the gift bag - it was a lovely heart shaped box w/doves I got at the dollar store - lucky for her I didn't plan the shower as we both know what the theme would have been. My sister Kari (Miranda's high school coach/mentor) and I worked on her gift together and it is a guest book for the wedding. Miranda had mentioned that she wanted to scrapbook one but just didn't think she would have the time. As my sister has made a few of these already this wedding season and I made Miranda's wedding invites and therefore knew the style and colours of the wedding we whipped this together last night.


We were also instructed to bring our favourite recipe as they collected them for a recipe box for Miranda - once again I wish I had taken a picture of our receipe cards because far be it for us to do the simple thing and write the recipes out on plain white cards - nope, we had to stamp the cards, color code all of the writing with her wedding colours(brown and teal) and include ribbon and matting - yep a little over the top, but totally expected from us.

I am very excited about this wedding(September 15, 2007) as I have been helping Miranda with the planning for the last year and I totally believe it is going to be an amazing event - I promise to post alot of pictures from it!
