I do......

I got the wonderful opportunity to make a few things for another wedding this last summer and am finally getting around to showing you:)

 I met the beautiful bride, Katie through a friend and she asked if I could do a few pieces she had envisioned for her wedding. She had such a beautiful wedding with so many creative and beautiful details. I was even more excited when she told me that the amazing Haley Sierra was the photographer! Click on her name for her blog, or HERE for her website. If I had it to do over again, I would FOR SURE have used her. She captures the day so amazingly. I am in awe everytime I see a new shoot she has done!

I just did a couple chairs and a door for her, but make sure you click on the website above to check out the rest of her amazing day! (under Weddings:Taylor and Katie)

Heres the door she used as the entrance to the ceremony:

And heres one of the chairs. She used it to put these beautiful blankets on for the guests.

Dont forget to check out Haleys work. Youll be glad you did.

HAPPY SATURDAY!!

I always cry at weddings

I did some signs for a wedding recently. One that is coming up very soon here, in Hawaii!! So jealous. Someday I will make it there:) I learned a lot with this custom order. I love love love my cricut, but learned how hard it is to find just that right font you want. And buy!! Each font is almost $60! I have since been reading up on buying an attachment that allows you to send anything online to your cricut, but not sure if it works for mine. 

Anyhoo, I cant wait to see these in wedding photos. But for now, here they are:

For the backs of the bride and grooms chair:

For the wedding and thank you card pictures(please excuse the mess on my counter:)

                                             For the wedding and then at home after:

And for the backs of the chairs:

And a chalk board:

Congrats Analee! Cant wait to see the photos and hope to see you at your reception!

Macie Grace is turning 6!!

I cant believe our little girl is 6 this week!!!! Where did the time go?!! I remember bringing her home from the hospital, her first bath, her little badger baby cooing sounds, cuddling her up in her blankies….oh the memories.

I know, even though I say I don’t, I like to have my birthday be MY day. Brandon and the girls make my meals, get me things, do whatever they can to make it MY special day. So I want the same for the girls. I want them to remember their birthdays as special days. I want there to be traditions they look forward to and cherish. This year are in Vegas away from most of our friends and family, so I don’t want Macies mind to be on that. We are having a little party with just us and her grandparents ( thank goodness for them), but we are going all out. Well, $20 all out. No, really! I am challenging myself to only spend $20, but make it big. I have so many supplies already and so many ideas floating around in my head (and on my pinterest board) So, I'm going with the motto: “why buy, when I can make” Now on the third hour of making the giant ‘6’ pinata I was seriously questioning this motto, but I forged on. I have made a bunting banner, a pinata, tissue paper flowers, cake stands, cupcake flags, painted trays and frames and still have lots to do. Brandon is also making a slideshow to music to show at her dinner. She chose hamburgers, hot dogs and fries as her bday dinner. I cannot wait for Wednesday and to show you all the pictures of the result. I want to show how much you can make without the party store. I think homemade is way nicer looking too. I'm also hand making some gifts for her. A quilt, a mermaid costume for her doll, a chair and a birthday tshirt. Here is the shirt for her to wear on her birthday to school.

Who wouldn’t want to wear a giant number shirt???? Well, I guess at a certain age you wouldn’t, huh? Please no one make me a giant 3-0 shirt in 18 months. I may cry. But, 6 is cool.

We also made cookies for her class tomorrow and cupcakes for the party.

Heres a couple sneak peaks at her bday preparations. Ill be back in a few days to show the party.....cant wait!!!

You getting the color theme here?

Happy Birthday tomorrow baby girl!!!
