Bachelorette Party Invitations for Meag

So We're planning Meag's bachelorette party & I put my Cricut to good use today. Here are some pictures of the invitations I came up with for her night out on the town! :) I just love this cricut, it does everything! ..even the envelopes.

so seeing as though I have a one bedroom apartment, my steller craft room is on my coffee table & this is the front of the invitation - check out the skyline!


Up close!


The inside of the invitation:


a special touch added to the back of the homemade envelope!

Invitations

So since I showed you all what my cupcake stand will look like, I decided to share my invitations. Walmart special! Invitations are very expensive, so I bought some plain DIY invitations, and added some ribbon for some color. Not sure if I will do anymore to them, but for now this is what they look like. Now that I have a cricut, it seems only fitting that it somehow be incorporated into my wedding decor!

Right out of the box-- boorrinnnggg:


And after a little ribbon:


thats all. more to come!

Cupcake Stand

So I wanted to post some pictures - before and after - of the cupcake stand I bought and personalized for our wedding. It was too plain for me, so I thought a little fabric could go a long way. I found the perfect fabric at Hobby Lobby! This was so simple to do, and I think it looks great. Cant wait to see our cake & cupcakes on this stand in only 5 months!!

Pre- Fabric:


So basically I just took each tier off separately in order to glue the fabric down, LOVE love love Elmer's spray on glue!! it made it so easy for me.


After: One view


And just another view for you!


and if you know me at all - you will agree that the before was just to dull, i mean, you can never have too many polka dots, right ;) haha

Fall Wreath !

so today it was pouring down rain..and i felt the need to do a craft.. here is what i made. i used one wreath made out of grape vine, one strand of fall garland and a pre made bow (because i cant make them yet myself haha) and i also used my mad skills with the hot glue gun!

here's the final result - -





not too shabby :)

Engagement Pictures

It's been a while since I've last updated but I've been extremely busy. I was on call from Thurs night until Tues at 630am. I've see all hours of the night and had to be fully functioning at 3 am. This is new to me.. but I have to say, when the pager goes off - I wake up ! haha usually with a jump and then I'm out of bed and out the door. Luckily - the money makes it worth it & money is a good thing to have..with the upcoming wedding:)

Brandon and I got our engagement pictures done a few weeks ago and they are posted online now. Here is the website in case you haven't seen them:

The Password is my last name (With a Capital G)

I've also been working on our invitations a bit - Bought some plain ones from Walmart.. purchased some ribbon from Michael's and am now working on making them my own! It's fun. When I finish - I'll post a few pictures so you can see.

That's all for now.

"dont you just love NYC in the fall?"

Two weeks ago I traveled up to NYC with a few girls from work. It was a lot of fun, beautiful weather - perfect fall weather in NYC. We did a lot of walking but we also went and saw Wicked. It was amazing !! !! I'd go see it again. and highly recommend it. . The music was amazing, I felt like a little kid sitting there grinning the entire time:) We stayed right down from Time Square, right in the heart of it all - it was a really fun weekend. Here are a few pictures I took with my phone.
