Flower Power


I admit it. I used to hate. carnations. Really. I thought they were the cheesiest, tackiest, most cheap-o flowers on the face of the earth. That is, until I discovered how they look in clusters. Check out this post from the fabulous Eddie Ross. If you aren't already addicted to his blog, check it out, and you will be. I promise.

Any-hooo, I ordered tons of carnations for my DIY wedding flowers. I plan on making centerpieces and a bridesmaid bouquet out of them. What do you think? Did Eddie Ross convince you to love carnations, too?

Aisle Decor Inspiration (I am lacking!)

Ok, so it's three weeks until my wedding (HUH? How did THAT happen?!?), and I am seriously lacking ideas for decorating the church. I think all my time, energy, and resources have gone into DIY and reception details. **sigh**
These two pictures are all I got! I love them both, and, lucky for me, I think they will pretty easy to do. Great. My to-do-list just got a little longer. What do you think? Which do you like better?
(not sure were I got the pics, but if they are yours, please let me know so that I can give you the proper credit!)

New Etsy Listings

I have a couple of new listings in my shop! One of them will look familiar to you.... I've decided to list the thank you cards I made for my bachelorette party. My friends all loved them, so I thought maybe others might love them, too.... and maybe someone will love them enough to buy them! Included with the thank you cards are lined envelopes and envelope seals. Not a bad deal, if I do say so myself. :)

The other new listing is for a journal decoupaged with the vintage newsprint I found in my garage attic. Remember me telling you about that? Here's one of the journals I made. Visit my shop to see all of them! I LOVE feedback about my stuff! Let me know what you think!

It's Taking Over My House!

Anyone else's closet look like this? It has been completely taken over by wedding STUFF! Everything from the gift bags for the girls, the cardbox, the tons of candy for the candy buffet, the pomanders (and I could go on and on....) is stored in here. And you should take a look under my bed. I think we are going to need a u-haul to transport everything to the reception site! I am getting to the point that I want my house (and my life!)back. ugh.
