Wedding Frame and Yard Sale Frame

When I photograph weddings

at the venue I have been 

relaying on the natural

elements and the cars for

props.

But I decided it was time to 

up my game. I shared the 

banner I made with you a 

week or so ago.

I ordered a frame that photographers

use for backdrops.

Course I am not a big fan

of color backdrops I do 

prefer the natural elements

of the outdoors.

Scrolling through Pinterest I 

found a cool backdrop and

that is when I decided 

to order the frame.

Then it was time to get

busy and make something

like I saw.

I built this wooden

frame, all from scrapes. 

I wanted to attach flowers to it

but how? That is when 

a pool noodle came to mind.

A pool noodle has a hole through

the center of it that I thought

would work for what I needed.

Cut the size I wanted, then I 

cut down one side to the hole

which allowed the noodle to 

be opened up. I then slide

it over the wood.

My mom had a flower arrangement

that I knew would work, and since

I was not using it

for anything, I took it apart.

Sticking the ends of the flowers

through the foam of the noodles

and attaching them.

I bought the small thin board for 

2.50 at Dollar General. It has

some jute to hang it by.

I painted it white, then

painted Bride and Groom on 

it, placed in the correct

position. The jute hanger

goes back to the other side

of wood frame and loops

over a tack to hold it. I 

did that so that I can change

the sign out for another one.

I am going to make one that

says, "guest". Other signs

can be made.

Misty wanted to be

the first to have her

pic made with the sign.

I have an up coming yard sale

this weekend. I 

wanted to make it somewhat fun

so I made a poster board sign

for the 

guest. 

Figured they could stand

behind it and we can take

a pic with their camera.

Wow...will be glad when 

May is over...

I think May has been trying

to make up for all of

last year.

I have been hopping.

I have done 5 weddings.

Three more to come, one

of which I am the photographer.

A sleep doc apt., next week an

eye doc apt. Then the end of the 

month a chiro apt. I had an apt

with an accountant for taxes 

( I normally do but with buying

and selling of a home, I was not

touching it). I had an hour

long massage also. This weekend

a yard sale. Starting Thursday night

with set up. In between, doing what

I needed to be doing here and once

a week to town to work. 

Things can slow down some...

I would be great with that!
