Bio of the Week


As some of you may know. While planning our wedding I was obsessed with this website called Project Wedding. It was a fantastic resource and it allowed me to plan and make my wedding my dream come true. It was what saved my life in planning and probably saved devins sanity as well just for the simple fact that whenever I had a little drama thing happen or a question I could go to the boards and ask and get a response in a non bias way. It was a life saver.

Anyways, on project wedding they pick a wedding each week that is the most beautiful wedding on their and they picked ours. When i found out it felt like i had won and Oscar and it is a complete honor!!

Here is the link to the forum where you can see what people commented on. Here is the link to all of the Bio of the Week weddings and here is the link to my Bio. I still get super excited to think I'm in the club now.

DIY Crafts: Halloween Wreath

Since Devin and I have been living together I don't think we have ever decorated for the holidays. It is something that we always have the best intentions of doing but it always falls though. This year however I'm trying my best to actually decorate our apartment and to be honest our apartment feels more like a home now that we have a dining room table. It is amazing how much that one piece of furniture changes a living space.

Back to decorating, yesterday I went to Jo-Annes fabrics and I swear sometimes I go in there and by the time I leave an hour has already passed and I had no idea :) I bought the supplies to make a new wreath for our front door. I got the idea from Pinterest and they are so simple to make I'm thinking of making one for each holiday then having one that is for the rest of the year maybe switching it up for there of course is one for the Football season :)

I saw this picture on Pinterest and decided to put my own little Halloween spin on it for our front door.

 Here is the steps that I took. The longest part was just wrapping the wreath in yarn. I did it while watching my usual Thursday night TV of Jersey Shore and Greys Anatomy. I think it took me maybe an hour and a half. And not to anyone who is thinking about making these yarn works much better when wrapping the circle. The first wreath I made I used hemp string and took much longer the string had to be over lapped at times.

Getting Crafty: HP Onsies

One of my girlfriends had a baby a couple months ago *actually the baby was born on our wedding day* anyways she is just as big of an Harry Patter fan as I am and i found these really cute onsies online here and on Pinterest and I knew I would have to make them for her.

After work today I'm going to head straight for Joannes Fabric and Target to get some 4 month Shirts or Onsies and the Iron on Paper and make them for her so the next time I see her I can give little fox a present.

I'll show my final product off as soon as I finish it along with the DIY tutorial if I can remind myself to take pictures along the way :)

To perfect!


Again too Perfect!
Who knew I would be such a DIY-er?
