Don't leave me in charge ;)

My Best Friend's daughter got married last night. Angie and I have been friends for 26 years, gawd I'm OLD, and through distance and lapses in time we have remained close friends. For me that is an accomplishment! I have been able to watch Jacey grow into a beautiful young woman. I've had the amazing privilege to be named as one of her Aunt's in her life. I've been blessed to see such sweet and wonderful moments such as the day she was born, her graduation from high school, and now her beautiful wedding day. I have had a different view than a mother watching her grow and turn into an adult, but last night when I shared how special it was for me to be a part of that I bawled like a baby. I can only imagine what it will be like to watch my daughter grow up. I am thankful that I have been asked to be a part of these moments. Angie has done a wonderful job raising her kids. With all the mushy stuff out of the way, I should let you all know that in future reference I should NOT be in charge of anything at a wedding!! ;) I should just be a guest. Nothing more, just a guest! I got the brilliant idea to decorate the wedding couples vehicle.....UMMM yeah! I am an over doer from hell!!! I believe that a job done should be a job WELL DONE! Unfortunately I don't think anyone got a pic of the final product, because I made the groom REALLY REALLY mad. But in my defense, I had to leave for about an hour, and when I did it didn't look THAT bad!! I guess the younger kids went nuts when I just left the supplies and left them unattended. There were other adults there too, but none of them would admit to anything, so I was the one left holding the bag(of evidence) literally!!! Hopefully, it will all wash off and then it will all be just a fun memory. I will respectfully decline having any involvement with decorating the car again, I cannot be trusted. ;) I am still wondering if they found the rubber on the gas cap yet....and if they haven't I am wondering who it will be that finds it!! Side note* the rubber on the gas cap came from the Pharmacist when I was buying the condoms....hehehe. Not all the ideas were my own! Sorry for the long post.....the whole reason was to finally post these pics of the quilt I made her. I then made my BFF a quilt which she did not know about. They turned out beautiful. :)
