Like a Kid in a Candy Store…Literally!!
It’s here! It’s HERE!!! 49 POUNDS of candy…I have dreamt of this day since I was about 5 years old. I am in Candyland/Willy Wonka Heaven!!! 
Warning: You may get a toothache just reading this.
Haha! Okay…maybe it’s not THAT big of deal…but it is fun. Seriously – check out the Giant Whirly Pops!! Mucho props to Old Time Candy. The only thing really missing is the candy stick swirls. They couldn’t guaranty that they would arrive in one piece. 
I think I need some of those though, so maybe I ought to find a local source.
Hand Painted Aisle Runner – Part One COMPLETE!
Yay!! After about 4 sessions, or an estimated 8 hours of tracing, painting and
outlining…I present to you the completed part one of our personalized aisle
runner!!!
Ta-Da!!
Now, part two is to finish the monogram section and part three
is to put ribbon around the entire thing. We’re talking over 100′ of ribbon
folks. I’m a little nervous that I might mess up this whole project at the very
end. Stay tuned…
How Sweet It Is Indeed!
I’m kind of a sugar freak and one of our favorite things is to scour the candy aisle for fun treats. So, for our guests’ tasting pleasure, I just ordered a boatload of candy for the candy buffet including: Read more
Who Wants Pink Crinoline? I DO! I DO!
I poke around the Internet A LOT. So much that I don’t know how I ever lived without it! It’s a great source of information – you’ve virtually got the entire world at your fingertips. I find a ton of really fun ideas, many that I will be incorporating into our wedding. I found this site and decided I too, MUST have a pink colored crinoline slip! Read more
Adventures of the DIY Bride: Personalized Aisle Runner
After seeing so many beautiful personalized aisle runners of course I had to make one for our wedding! At first I thought I would do as other brides have done and go to Kinko’s for a large printout of our monogram (or name logo, whatever you want to call it since ours isn’t really a true monogram). However, just the monogram/logo wasn’t enough for me. Oh no; I found a verse I really liked and didn’t have a place to use it yet so this was the PERFECT opportunity! The final dimensions of that area are about 3′ x 5′ so I thought that might be difficult, not to mention expensive, to have recreated at Kinko’s. Read more
Let Them Eat Cake
Mmmmm…..THIS cake:
I think we have a winner. What do you think?
Hong Kong…Here We Come!!!
Too small to read but it says “SPACE HELD” for the International Class we registered for next January!!
I AM SO EXCITED!
There is a chance Andy won’t be able to get off work to go but I am most definitely going. YAY!
Change of Plans
If you recall, Andy was helping me awhile back to create a really neat rotating photo card box. I got the idea from another member of The Knot and it was supposed to look something like this, only black:

Well, let’s just say ours did NOT turn out quite so nice. I was trying to “Fun” it up with some crazy fabric and embellishments and that turned out to be not such a good idea. I had been planning on tearing it apart and redoing it. That is, until I walked in to JoAnn Crafts the other day, turned the corner and saw this lovely box that practically sang out my name:

Hellooo Beautiful!
I love stripes and polk-a-dots so my eyes were immediately drawn to it. YES!!! This was it. THIS was going to be our new card box. To add to my delight, when they rang it up it was on sale; marked down from $12.99 to $9.99!!! I love a sale! It completely made my day. I could not stop talking about my fabulous find for the rest of the day.
Nevermind that I probably spent more than three times the amount on my unfinished mess of a card box project…but oh well. Whatever. I am in so love with this box. Task complete, check it off the list.
