Outdoor Wedding Decorations – Luminary Bags

We have a ledge around our top lawn formed by using railroad ties. This made an excellent place to put a decoration.  Eryn found Luminary Bags ( she purchased these at are our local Fred Meyer store) and they can be used with flame-less candles or votive candles.  These bags were very beautiful as the sun set and it started to get dark.

After the wedding ceremony all the chairs were brought up from the bottom lawn to the top lawn and put around the tables that were set-up for our dessert reception.

We set up for dancing on the bottom lawn after the chairs were removed. Our Luminary Bags could be seen while dancing the night away on the bottom lawn or just visiting at the reception tables on the top lawn.

We actually had to gather a few rocks and put inside the bags because they were very light and the breeze kept moving them. These bags are very easy to put back into their container box. They can be used over and over again. Maybe around a sidewalk or on a deck?

Do you have any unique areas in your yard that are just calling out to be decorated? What will you use?

Spring Break = To Do List

Once again “Spring Break” is here! That means getting up, putting on old clothes and playing in the dirt.  I will be working outside this whole week, unless it decides to rain; which, will make this momma really sad. :(    I have been working in the house all winter and I need to GET OUT! 

So…while I was sitting at my sons baseball practice I wrote my “Spring Break” list.  It looks long and some things will take more time than others. I might not get to everything but I’m sure gonna try.

 I have two helpers, one very eager to help and one I bribed with  a promise of something fun for her during the week also. I keep telling them working in the yard IS fun. I think it has to be your yard before it’s fun? :~)
