Scrapping Weddings

This past weekend, knitSB and I attended the commitment ceremony for friends of ours. It was  a beautiful ceremony, filled with smiles, laughter and love. This couple was surrounded by friends and family who love them both. It was wonderful to be included in the celebration. 

As part of the reception, N&A asked people to create a scrapbook page to become part of their wedding album.  They provided an instant camera, markers, scrapbooking paper, glue, etc. to make this fun for everyone. Of course, they provided some costumes so the guests could personalize the images. 

This is the page that we created.  You might notice that I'm knitting on my socks in the picture.

I think this is a great idea!

Ceremony Party!

On Saturday, February 16, 2008, knitSB and I enjoyed a celebration in honor of our commitment ceremony in England on November 1, 2007.

It was a wonderful day. A few photos can be found on the flickr account here.

Great Weekend!

I had a great weekend. Friday, we spent time putting together some wire bins for my knitting books and yarn stash. I'm actually going through my yarn and culling out what I don't want from stash. I wonder...can I get people to pay me for stash I don't want.

The M's came to visit and we enjoyed a full Saturday of fun. We ended the day with a picnic dinner at Schiller Park to see a version of Taming of the Shrew. I thought it well done.

Sunday, photographerSteve came to town and enjoyed a gathering at Songferret's house. We had a nice potluck dinner and watched A Room with a View. It was the first time I saw it. This was after I worked at my LYS and saw The Prudence Scarf that maryellen started knitting at Knitters Connection in Jun 2007. She finished it and it is beautiful!

After breakfast on Monday, the M's, knitSB and I spent time talking about our "ceremony." It was quite nice. After a late lunch with LJ, photographerSteve, and knitSB, we had my niece come over and allow us to adopt Sophie, the newest cat in our home. My niece's son developed allergies and we're interested in a new cat! I'll let you know how the other two cope with the addition.

A few more episodes of Twin Peaks watched and many more rows knit on a shaw.
