Dyed Doilies

Dyed Doilies! I got this idea from the great Martha Stewart herself...or her staff members...regardless I love it! I wish I would have known about this for my wedding. I bought a whole lot of them off of eBay so that my little plant centerpieces would sit on them, of course they were still lovely not dyed! But in a few short weeks I am going to be selling in my first craft fair ever and so I have been wracking my brain and trying to turn all of my wedding crafts into something new, this is the start of a doily craft...and I haven't gotten further than what you see here! All you have to do, if you want to dye some doilies, is take a bowl of water with lots of food coloring, then submerge your doilies in it for a few minutes, then hang to dry! Hoping to be inspired by a grand idea for a doily craft...

Pre-Wedding...

So here I am, haven't touched the blog since April. Obviously planning my own wedding, being a mom, working and along with all of my other life responsibilities kept me from doing this. I may or may not have found myself going crazy at times as the wedding crept up, but it was all so worth it. The wedding has come and gone, and here I am waiting on wedding pics. I can't wait to what Rhys has in store for us! Let me just say that our wedding was P-E-R-F-E-C-T! It really was. From my months of crafting, to the planting of my own flowers, then having them die, then buying new ones praying they wouldn't die! We had a great team help set-up on the friday before, then after the rehearsal dinner, my ladies and I went to a condo for the night, where I made them make their own bouquets.Making"] way too much!"] Wedding set-up went smooth...we had a great team helping to make it all happen!

I can't wait to post the photos from the big day...stay tuned:)

Engagement Photo Shoot

We had the pleasure of working with the talented Rhys Albrecht for our engagement shoot. He is also doing the wedding photos! We are super happy with his work and how they all turned out. We showed up for the photo shoot with a million ideas and he let us use them all!

Wedding Progress

So I wanted to document the progress of our wedding a bit...post pictures of my craftiness, and just share it period!

For my 3 adorable nieces, I sent them each a card asking them to be my flower girls....they all said YES!!All of my bridesmaids got this cute card along with a locket that had a secret note inside that read, "Will you be my bridesmaid?"

One of my bridemaids helped me with my 'save the dates'...I am most proud of these so far! Lots of love poured into them!

I designed the stickers on zazzle.com, you can personalize nearly anything on there!

I am so excited to share all of my other great ideas...lots more to come!

Engagement photos are this weekend...
