Day 26 of 30: It's Friday!!! Well...it's actually Wednesday...

Today is the last day at work until we are off for a long holiday weekend. I don't know why, but that just makes me SO happy!

Plus, I took Monday off too! So essentially I have a whole week off from work! ha!

I do have some much needed wedding things that need to get done. Such as...mailing out our invitations!!! How exciting!!!

I have to admit, (side story...we have a countdown on our desktop of our computer counting down days until the wedding is here) I am getting a little stressed out when I see the number on the computer screen.

Not for bad reasons, but I feel like we should have everything done and NOW! I'm like that though. I like to get it done and be done with it.

I wish I wasn't sometimes.

Do you like my rehearsal dinner bouquet? My girlies made it for me at the shower. It definitely have some character!

I'm off to get some work done. Later tonight I get to bake a few things and then tomorrow I plan on eating a lot! ha!

Not too much though...I have another dress fitting coming up on Tuesday!

Day 18 of 30: Sneak Peek and a little gift...

Here is a little bitty sneak peak at the hotel/direction card that I made to go into our wedding invitations.

I think it turned out perfectly!

Although, it did take a bit longer than I had anticipated. I went back and forth with deciding on using the map or not using the map.

I opted not to. Most of our guests are from around here and I just couldn't get it to work right or look right.

So I made an M monogram design with digital scrap paper and voila! I think I like it even better!

Of course this is only one side of the card...the other side is quite boring, all type no decor!



I also got a semi gift from my Zizi (aunt)/Godmother. She happens to keep getting to go to The View and whenever she goes they usually give something away. She got some awesome things last time, but this time...

She got a $150 gift certificate to Ebags. Particularly to THIS type of bag (I think) on Ebags. And guess who she so generously gave it to?!

You guessed right...ME!!!

I can't thank you enough for it, Zizi Nikki!

Stay tuned to see what I get!

Day 3 of 30: Back to the daily grind

Have I mentioned that if I had the choice, I wouldn't work?!

Who wouldn't though.

My Mister got in on time yesterday from the airport. He ended up getting on the flight that he was originally booked on. Yay for that!!! It's so nice to have him back home!

He had a big day today! He started at his new job and we got to car pool together to and from work. Just for today though.

Yep, we are working in the same office! We're on opposite sides of the building though so we're not working together. It was fun to carpool today!

On another note, I had my very first dress fitting today. It went really well and I just can't wait for our wedding. I can't wait to be off of work for 2 week and to go to Jamaica for a FULL WEEK. Oh what fun!!!

Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching, can you believe it?! Speaking of which, can I keep my pumpkin stuff up for fall decor still or must I put it away and get something more harvesty out? Help, please?

Thanks!

Do you Photoshop?

I do. Well, kind of. Not really. Thank you (SO much) to Mike and Stacey (fbil & fsil) ten times over for letting us download it! Now, if I only knew how to use it...

I've come across many a blog with instructions for little projects, I do still have those to go off of, but unless you really know what you're doing, it's kind of confusing.

So...I had the mister go out and grab me a Photoshop Elements for Dummies book. I've paged through it, but I think I've discovered that I will actually have to read the entire book if I really wanted to understand. I will get it, I just need some time...

I do have a little project that I'm going to start working on with it tomorrow night. I'm going to make inserts for my bridal shower invitations (no I'm not sending them out!) with the information where we are registered at. Wish me luck!

P.S. Any suggestions?!

A little bit of randomness...

This is going to be kind of a random post and now that I look at the pictures I have, well they don't look all too pretty or anything...

I have begun to order wedding 'stuff' and it is all starting to be delivered. I needed a space to put this stuff without it laying around on the ground and getting all dusty, so I borrowed my brother and sister in law's card table and set up camp in our 'office' aka spare bedroom!

Here is an oh so hot shot of it all! Yep, this is where all the action takes place! ha!

I also went to Ace Hardware in search of some Rubbermaid bins to store stuff in so it doesn't get dusty...I mean, we do have 4 month left here people, stuff will be sitting around! :-)

But I came up with this clear and blue one because it was a little bit cheaper and then this cute little cloth bin that I can reuse after the wedding too!

I totally (kind of) forgot that I ordered this. It's a birdcage cardholder! I was going to spray paint it black, but I think I'm going to keep it white and put a black bow on it or something like that! I think it's cute...I love the little hearts on it! I could even reuse this somehow as decor for the home afterwards!

And GUESS WHAT?!?! Our wedding invitations are here! I am so excited! It was so fun and exciting to look through everything!

I thought I'd share!
