Something New ... Something Blue

Although brides and grooms tie the knot year-round, June has long been the traditional month for weddings.  I had hoped to do a "full blown" tablescape for you this week using Noritake Marywood china, but my plans changed and I ended up with the Wedding Blues.  I'll share the china with you anyway ...

Click the collage once -- or twice! -- to enlarge it.

Marywood was a popular choice of beauty-loving, price-conscious brides in the 1970s ... and continued to be offered until the mid '90s.  I think its delicate blue flowers, bright white field, and thin platinum band are still stunning decades later. 

Let's do an impromptu link-up, shall we?  If you've ever posted a tablescape featuring your wedding china, add the link at the bottom of this post.  It doesn't matter how long ago it was ... the wedding OR the post.  We'd all love to see it!                                   

By the way, if you haven't yet entered my giveaway for the My Memories digital scrapbooking software, do it now!  (The Wedding Blues collage was made with it.)

I spent a minute today looking at the My Memories blog and saw this ...

I knew just the pictures (and the ONE WORD) to use.  They were taken on my last trip to Brazil with Hope Unlimited for Children.  I wonder how to say this word in Portuguese ...

My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software GIVEAWAY

If you're a local friend (or a blog friend who lives nearby), I'm giving you
advance notice ... so stick with me to the end.

A few weeks ago, while visiting around Blogland, I saw a giveaway for free digital scrapbooking software ... but it had just ended.  Of course it had.  Oh, well.  I'm not a scrapbooker, so "easy come, easy go."  What's the likelihood that I would have won anyway?


But a couple of days later when I was contacted by My Memories (the very same digital scrapbooking company) and they said they wanted to give free software to me ... and to you ... I was ecstatic.  For both of us, of course! 


 So what would a non-scrapbooker want with digital scrapbooking software?  I'm so glad you asked!  Just look at all the things we can do.


Cards and invitations for any occasion ...

Photo albums or memory books like this compilation of love letters I put together for my mother-in-law last Christmas ...

Photo collages ... from a wide variety of templates -- or design your own.  I left the bottom left corner empty so you can see the texture better.

Blog buttons and headers ...

Gift tags, calendars, videos ...
and oh so much more I haven't yet discovered!



The templates, textures, background papers, and color choices included in the software are incredible ... but if you don't see exactly what you want, there are LOTS of fantastic, inexpensive choices available at the My Memories website.

Now for the good part ...
