Christmas Food Court Flash Mob, Hallelujah Chorus - Must See!
To all my followers I want to share this great video clip that was filmed in my hometown of Welland.
It is really such a small world. My neighbour sent me this video not realizing it was filmed in my home town. I watched it not realizing as well until I started reading the comments below it and was just amazed when I realized that the Seaway Mall food court was where this video took place.
I have to say it made me proud of the little town I grew up in. Welland is rich in history with the Welland Canal that joins Lake Erie to Lake Ontario and it's many lift bridges. It is a blue collar town and it's population is comprised of many nationalities. It is also famous as well for all the murals that have been painted on the sides of buildings making it it's own unique town.
But I am also proud of the heritage that I come from. Families on both of my parents sides were all hard workers and helped make Welland what it is today. The entrepreneurial spirit was on both sides as well,
with Pupo's Super Market, still family run,
Mary Luska's Interiors, also knows as MJ Galleries and still run by my feisty aunt at the age of 80,
Welland Trailer Sales, my Uncle Ed and cousin David Luska
and my mom's store, the Madame Shoppe which she had up until the day she died at the age of 77.
So today I proudly salute Welland and the Niagara Chorus for helping us all ring in the holiday spirit.
I hope this video warms your hearts as much as it did mine.
Happy Holidays,
Ginny

Red rose design jacket and wedding invitation
Simple elegance best describes this wedding invitation.
A red rose swirl design Indian paper created the jacket
for this invite. The invite was printed on one of
envelopments paper, ecru linen.
The combination of these two papers and the simple
design lend for a very elegant look.
The jacket was double wrapped with a
dark brown silk rope completing the look.
Brown and red inks were used for the
invitation wording.
We also created a custom save-the-date card
using the ecru linen from envelopments.
A brown swirl design was the main focal point
of this card. A matching ecru linen envelope
with a dark brown lining complimented
this invitation.
The slimline program was also printed on
the ecru linen from envelopments.
Again, simple but elegant.
The use of brown and red inks
were just the right combination to
give the inside of the program
added detail.
Custom styrofoam logo centerpiece
This centerpiece is another sample of
what we can create using Styrofoam,
Mylar tissue, ting and glitter sprays.
We can custom cut out just about any
design, paint it, glitter it or leave it plain
whatever the look you want.
These centerpieces are great for:
sports banquets,
birthdays
showers
retirement
golf events
and so many more.
Custom styrofoam lighted Chicago skyline centerpiece
We created this Chicago Skyline centerpiece
to showcase all the pieces in the wedding ensemble
we did using the Chicago Skyline as the theme.
All the pieces for this centerpiece were
custom cut out of Styrofoam, painted and then glittered.
For extra effect we added battery operated lights
to the skyline giving the feeling of stars in the sky.
The names Sylvia and Andrew were also
custom cut and arranged atop of the skyline.
Some onion grass and Mylar tissue were added
for extra pizazz.
Above a view of the centerpiece without
the custom products that we created.
We can customize a centerpiece for any event.
Give us your theme and let our creative juice
start working and create something fantastic for you!
For those living in the Michiana area
you can see this centerpiece in person at
Brides ala Mode
University Drive
Mishawaka, Indiana
and all the printed pieces
displayed in the photo above.
Custom cut Chicago Skyline pocket and wedding invitation ensemble
for this Chicago destination wedding
that we created everything from
the Save the Date postcards
to the final Thank You cards.
The Chicago Skyline was the theme throughout.
The save the date cards were printed
on a heavy creme color card stock.
The address side of the card featured
an outline of the Chicago skyline
while the front of the card featured
a picture of the newly engaged couple
framed within the Chicago skyline,
starting the theme for this destination wedding.
The formal invitation was created using several layers of card stock,
alternating a shinny black lacquer card stock with one of
envelopments papers called Dove.
The layering created a very formal look.
The contrast of the shinny black and creme made
for a grand appeal.
The invitation was placed into a custom cut pocket.
The pocket was created using a shinny black lacquer card stock.
The edge of the pocket was custom cut to the shape
of the Chicago skyline for a very unique,
one-of-a-kind invitation pocket.
The back of the black pocket held
the other wedding cards:
response card
transportation and accommodations card
welcome party invite
brunch invite
This classy slimline program was printed
on envelopments dove card stock
keeping in the same theme as the invitation.
A black velvet ribbon was tied around this
slimline program that was folded into
a tri-fold for a very rich look.
below a view of the program partially open
a view of the program fully open
The thank you cards featured the Chicago skyline
and we also printed them on
the envelopment dove card stock.
We even created custom labels.
One label was used on coffee packs that were placed
into mugs as wedding favors.
The other label was place on water bottles and
included in their welcome baskets for their
out of town guests.
Let us create a
one-of-a-kind invitation ensemble
for you!
