Frame Revamp!

I have been into a crafty mood lately and I had an old frame in my tote of craft stuff, so I decided to revamp it. I always have ideas but then am too scared to try them. But I got up courage and figured if it looked terrible I would just stick it back in the tote. :) I sanded off the words and then put a little bit of cream paint to see if I wanted to paint it cream or the green that we painted our wall. This is what it looked like before...

 

I gave it a few coats of the green I had from painting our bedroom wall and coated it with some clear enamel. I painted a piece of cardboard and put "peace" on it. 

Before I put it all together I made a little yo-yo flower and glued it onto the frame. This is what it looks like now! I think it look pretty good. It is nice and simple but has a little character with the flower. My next project is going to be an entry table...maybe :)

Two Months!

Wow! I've been married for 2 months! I can't believe it. My husband is the sweetest and most understanding person I know. I love him! We haven't been up to much. I am still trying to get our apartment organized and finding a place for everything. I have been looking for an entry table/sofa table for by our door. It is impossible to find one that is reasonably priced and in Utah. I found the perfect one in REXBURG :( but that is a little too far for us... BOO!! I want it! Hopefully we can find something similar here.

I am trying to do a garden but the weather is still pretty unpredictable. For example Saturday was 70 degrees and then Sunday we woke up to about 6 inches of SNOW and it snowed the entire day! A few plants died... but I have one strong cucumber plant and some radishes and carrots! I will plant a few more seedlings here in a few weeks.

I also made a necklace during conference. It took a long time to decide which beads to use but I think it came together nicely and it looks pretty cute!


Nothing else to report. . . :)

Valentine Heart

I made this Valentine's heart.



Here is my husband and our door hanging Valentine heart.

Honeymoon

We went to Midway, Utah for our honeymoon and stayed in a little inn called the Invited Inn. My love didn't tell me where we were going until we were on our way to the temple. It was fun to have a surprise!!


We went and saw the ice castles and it was so cool! It is amazing how people think up ideas and then execute them. Here are some pictures:

My Wedding Day!

I got married February 4, 2011. It was such a great day! I was surrounded by loving friends and family. Here are some pictures from the day!

I get married on Friday!!

So, I am getting married on Friday! I am so excited! It seems like it took forever to get here but now it seems like it has come too quickly!!! Last Saturday we went to take bridal and groomal pictures. I can't wait to see what they look like!

I have a few things left to do like make a clip for my hair, organize our apartment, make a guest book, frames with pictures, and make a DVD with pictures and music. Other than that I think that we are finished!

Am I missing anything?

Wedding Ramblings #3

Well . . . we've been kind of stuck... I am getting pretty nervous about getting everything done. Luckily, I have a friend that is helping me out a TON!!! Thank you Jess!

CAKE!!! I found a picture of a cake that I like. I may do butter cream instead of fondant and have colored flowers. I like it. We are still trying to find someone to make it. Hopefully I will be able to check this one off the list soon.


Catering vs. doing it yourself . Right now this is the big dilemma. I would love to do it ourselves but I don't think that it would be practical for us. With catering it's all taken care of. We won't have to check to make sure there is still food on the table, we don't have to set it up or take it down. We will have to FORK OUT a bunch of $$$$$. It would cost less to do it all ourselves but we don't have the man power and space to have all that food stored. Plus, both of our families are coming from out of town so that will be a juggling act. I can't wait to see them though!!! I miss them terribly!

Flowers and centerpieces. Are the last big piece to the puzzle. I have an idea of what I want. But still working it out in my mind.

We are going to get our announcements done during Christmas when we are up in Washington so you should be expecting yours soon. You better sign up on our form if you haven't already, if you want to get an announcement!

I am sure I am missing something. Let me know if you know what it is.

56 days!!!!
