So here is a quick peek at my project I"m working on at my mom's house! Isn't it awesome!
When Holly was a young girl she always loved my mom's figurines she had on her wedding cake. (They are now 49 years old!) Anyway when mom moved out east she was going to throw them away and Holly said "no, I want them on my wedding cake". So she boxed them up and labeled the box. Mom brought the box out east figuring by the time Holly grew up she wouldn't want them. Well the other day Holly asked if I could get them out while I'm at mom's house. My sister in law is going to repaint the colors and give the girls new dresses to match Holly's wedding colors! My mom is still surprised she really wants them! And let me tell you, these are plaster figures, not the cheap plastic stuff they have these days!
