Amazing friends, I am SO excited to be hosting another CRAFT JUNK GIVEAWAY!!!! It has been too long, but this one is GOOD, y’all! (My friends in Canada are eligible this time too!!)
This is my way of saying THANK YOU for stopping by each week to see what I’m working on. It means the world to me!
First, I am thrilled to announce that my baby brother and his beautiful new wife’s wedding went off without a hitch! I haven’t talked about it much at all, but I have been working behind the scenes for the last couple of months getting things ready since we were hosting it in our back yard.
I also got to be the photographer so I thought it would be fun to share just a few photos!
Here is the set up in our yard. They bought the garden arch and my new sister-in-law and I went shopping for all the flowers. I put them together to hang on the arch, then draped tulle on either side:
It worked out perfectly…oops except when the wind had it’s way with that tulle. Nothing could rain on this parade though!
Aren’t they the sweetest?
We got a lucky break in the weather. July is usually super hot with high humidity here on the coast of Virginia, but it only reached about 85 on Saturday.
They each have a little one of their own…cuties!!
I also got to make the bouquet and boutonniere.
I love my brother so much, and his new wife is just the sweetest, kindest girl you’d ever meet. It was such a joy to be able to play a part in making their day extra special.
Many blessings for a long and happy life together! I hadn’t planned to blog about their wedding or I would have taken more photos of all the details!
Now, who wants to win some awesome craft junk??
Can I get a WOOT WOOT??
Here’s a closer look:
There are several of my favorite Dixie Belle essentials in this box:

- One 8 oz jar of Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint
- One 16oz jar of Dixie Belle Clear Coat in Satin
- One 8 oz jar of Dixie Belle Gator Hide

Jeannie Wallace says
I was so excited to see that the junk giveaway was back, but then I read about the wedding and saw the photos, and I swear I almost forgot what I was originally excited about. The photography is amazing, but the layout and positioning, is beyond my words. These shots of the happily ever after board, first including their children, and then just each other, were so sweet and captured my heart. You did a fabulous job. You should be very proud. You should do an entire blog just about the wedding. Maybe pat yourself on the back JUST a tiny little bit lol. Congrats to the lovely couple and to you on a fine job with all you did for the wedding.
Christy says
Wow you are so sweet, Jeannie, thank you! I was quite nervous about taking their photos because I’m used to taking photos of things that don’t move LOL! I’m so pleased that they turned out and their day was just perfect! XOXO

Cecilia from Georgia says
Christy, you did a faboulous job with the flowers and photography of the wedding. As a retired floral designer (ha! ha! florists never retire) I can honestly say the flowers are perfect. July outdoor weddings are tough! The last one I did was in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL and it was brutal. My niece had 7 attendants and he had as many with all the mothers, etc., AND the reception at another venue!!! I am too old to keep up the pace, especially in this heat. I guess you had the reception in your home…I would love to see the pictures of that too! Well, gotta go enter the give-a-way!!
Christy says
Thank you, Cecilia!! That means so much to me…I am not a professional by any means lol, but I had fun. I was lucky with it being so small as there were no attendants on either side. The reception was at our home also, inside and out. We have a pool, so all the kids were able to swim and enjoy that. It was very casual, and we got a lucky break in the weather. I would not want that job as a profession…sounds stressful!! Good luck on the giveaway, my friend!! XOXO

gwen says
wow! that’s a lot of comments! any chance you can reverse the order so our “Speak Your Mind” is at the top? i’ve almost forgotten what i wanted to say!
smart move NOT using that pink, it was too close to Pepto Bismol for me! i love the beachy look of the stripes and i can’t say that i blame you for keeping the second one for remotes, etc. however, i’m just not that organized! i love its shape! good job on both!
Christy says
Sorry about that, Gwen! Yes the pink wasn’t doing it for me at all either! White always wins lol. XO

SALLY A TODD says
Christy, I enjoy seeing your make-overs and am trying my hand at it, more so now that I’m retired. I do have a couple “complaints,” however, and one is maybe due to my computer ineptness: entering the giveaway contest and not being sure I actually entered. (I don’t do much social media). I try to jump through the hoops, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I actually hadn’t. No. 2, it has taken me about 10 minus to to get through all your “accolades” and the same problem exists going through it just reviewing your website on a regular basis. I’m wondering if anyone else has the slow response just getting through it.
Christy says
Thank you, Sally! Sorry about that! It looks like you are entered though! XO
Barb mathers says
I loooooooove your posts! Thanks for doing the giveaway! Fingers crossed 🙂

Thank you, Barb! It’s my pleasure! Good luck to you! XO

Phyllis says
I just found your blog this week and I am hooked. I am also a do-it-yourselfer and a trash-to-treasure king of girl. Some of the prettiest things in my home have come from the curb or the thrift stores and as you know with alittle imagination they can be brought back to life again. Hoping one day to get the courage to do it for profit. They say, “find something you love to do and it’s not called work”. Thanks for sharing all your talent and inspiration. The giveaway is the bomb.
Christy says
Thank you so much, Phyllis! I’m so glad you found me. Some of my favorite things even came from the trash lol! It’s amazing what we can do with paint, right? Good luck to you on the giveaway… I know you’ll put it to good use! XOXO

Amelie Deschenes says
You are so talented it’s crazy! I have lots of furniture/ things I picked up in garage sales that I will make beautiful again! The only problem is that I don’t have room in my house for any of those items!!! Will try to figure out something… it’s not easy to sell when you live in a remote village on the east coast of Québec Canada!!!
Christy says
Thank you so much, Amelie! I imagine that would be difficult living so remotely. I hope you find a solution so you can enjoy creating! XOXO
