Found this quiz today and thought it was pretty cool, check it out. Now I am not really sure you can determine someones personality by the colors they select but they gave me a pretty accurate review.

The list has begun. I am sure this list will grow but here is the start of all the ish I need to do for the wedding. Honestly…I can’t wait.
All long lists should end with a beautiful image 😉

I have a slight obsession with bunting…I love it. I think it is such a cheap and easy way to decorate. It’s adds a nice touch and people really notice it.
I recently made bunting for Heather’s shower and here is the breakdown.
What you need:
Scrapbook paper (any craft store)
Hole puncher
Ribbon
Start with cutting out the flags, you can get 3 per sheet
Madison was a big help!
Then mix the paper up. I like balance so I created each strand to have one flag from each paper design but you can do it any way your heart desires.
Punch a hole in each corner
Sting the flags with the ribbon. I used 3 yards per 9 flags. You need to leave some excess on each end for hanging.
Cost Breakdown
Scrap paper – 8 designs x 3 pieces of paper each = 24 sheets
AC Moore (on sale) 3 sheets for $1.00=$8.00
3 flags per sheet=72 flags
9 flags per strand=8 strands
AC Moore 8 rolls of ribbon (3 yards per roll) for $1.00 each=$8.00
Total – $16.00
When we got engaged a year and half ago I say oh we’re getting married in 2012, that seemed like forever well September 2012 is only 27 months away. 27 months is still PLENTY of time to plan a wedding but last night we budgeted out how we are going to pay for said wedding and it really started to hit me. I got to go through with this thing…lol.
Wedding budgets are so tricky I’m not exactly ready to share mine but it’s a pretty nice number. I do keep reminding myself that the number includes a 2 week stay in Ireland but it still hard to digest that I will be spending so much on my wedding, especially when I don’t own a house. I also feel like you only get to do this once and why not go big?
My wedding is something I have dreamed of planning for years and I want this to be the event that no one forgets, full of surprises and details that make people go “wow”. Wow comes at a price however I refuse to take out a loan or use excessive credit cards, we plan to pay cash.
So…let the wedding planning begin. This blog is about to get intense and so is my martini intake!

While in Vegas, this beautiful little girl was born. We did a photo session this past weekend and she is so fricken cute and a natural model. Below is the birth announcement I designed.

More from Heather’s shower…
We set up a tent out back so I thought I would jazz it up, I got a thing for long tables. This was really simple to do and very cost-effective. I really feel its little touches like this that make a great party!
I own all the glass but I bought it a few months ago from AC Moore. The great thing about AC Moore is a quick Google search and you can always find a coupon.
5 tall vases were originally $5.00; I got them on sale for 2.50 each. (5 x $2.50=$12.50)
The globes were $0.39 each and for me a great investment because I have used them so many times (20 x $0.39=$7.80)
Flowers – I used two kinds of roses to save money. The smaller light pink roses were 3 bundles for $8.00 and the large roses were a dozen for $5.99. Both purchased late night at my local grocery store. Why late night? Because they are usually cheaper, if the flowers are going to be replaced the next day they discount.
I also layered in some pink tea lights, they were only $1.00
So for a grand total of $35.29 you get this amazing table jazz! Since I already had all the glass I only had to pay $21.30, the glass pieces were such a good investment.
