Colby and I have been talking (ALOT) lately about how a great title for a movie would be “Shadow of a Goose”. In fact, Colby is working on the screenplay as we speak. So naturally, I worked it into the title of this post. And how appropriately since we’re talking about a little wedding invitation shadow box we stirred up. Last weekend, I had set out on a mission to [...]

No Comments Apparently I have wedding on the brain these days as I have yet another wedding related project for you this evening (the first project was the first dance art). Although this project is a little more hybrid like and includes a little organization and a little wedding. The other day I was trying to organize and store all of the wedding related paraphernalia that we had acquired. I’m talking cake [...]

8 Comments It’s officially, Colby and I have been married for exactly three months (as of yesterday). And we JUST booked our honeymoon and JUST sent all our disposable cameras from the reception to be developed and JUST sent out the last thank you note and JUST made our first piece of wedding related art. Run on sentence say what?! I framed up a pic from our first dance and wrote the [...]

We interrupt this regularly scheduled blog post (it was boring anyway…just rug stuff) to bring you another little sneak peak from our wedding. We got a cd in the mail the other day from some family friends that was LOADED with amazing wedding images. Images and…images and…wait for it…MOVIES! I’m still going through all the great photos and videos but I couldn’t help myself. I had to share one of [...]

For months, we’ve had stacks of RSVP cards from our wedding sitting around. They sat around on our desk for awhile, then migrated to the table where they sat around some more, and finally sat for the last time inside a drawer in the parlor office space. But I couldn’t bear the thought of the RSVP cards being cast to the drawer…out of sight…out of mind…all by their lonesome…in the [...]

10 Comments Lately, I’ve been up to my eyeballs sorting through wedding stuff. Packing up stuff, putting it all away, bring order back into our lives, and most importantly trying to re-purpose leftover wedding paraphernalia. Everything from house plants to table runner fabrics and even these table numbers. What in the world am I to do with 20 table numbers? My first instinct was just to chuck ‘em, but that just ain’t [...]

I’m not ready to give up Wedding Wednesday just yet. I know I’m technically hitched but I still have projects to detail, insights to divulge upon, and shenanigans to share. Can you blame me for not wanting to give it up? A year of Wedding Wednesday posts just isn’t enough! Besides, I have a few post wedding, memento like projects to work on too. So with that Wedding Wednesday stays [...]

Whew! The whirlwind that has been these last few weeks before our wedding has finally come to a close! It’s official…we’re married! I just wanted to stop in and tell you that A) we’re alive and B) we went through with it (no fleeing the alter for either of us) and we’re officially married! Woohoo! We’ll be back later either this week or next week (or maybe both or maybe [...]

Holy craziness batman! And I thought yesterday was nuts…today was like nuts on crack…or bath salts. Sadly, I don’t have alot to share with you today. Today was whoopie pie baking day and despite my best intentions, I didn’t photo document it. Bad blogger…bad! So instead of doing a whoopie pie baking play by play, or stepping you through the latest craft creation, here’s a little snap shot of what [...]

And the full on wedding crunch time stress mode has hit me. Hard…reall hard. Maybe that’s because I didn’t even start to think about the guest book until last week. That doesn’t help things out much. But when it came to the guest book, I had no idea what I wanted, but I did have a pretty clear idea of what I didn’t want…something cheesy. I wanted something that looked [...]
