Oh Christmas Tree

Yesterday my family and I setup and decorated the christmas tree. As we decorated the tree we reminisced about past christmas, our traditions and silly ornaments. Next year I will still join my family to decorate the tree, but Greg and I will be starting our own traditions...

I cannot wait to have ornaments like these adorning our tree....

first physical purchase...

for our wedding (other than magazines)!!!! I'm excited about it... So, I've been working on our Save the Dates - and them style of them is vintage travel postcard... because its kind of a road trip destination. I'm not ready to share them yet, you'll have to wait until after the new year. So - when I was at good ol' hobby lobby and came across a blank photo album with vintage postcards all over the cover I just couldn't resist! I'm planning on turning it into a guest book with Polaroids and such ... (once again I have a vision)... it's not the colors of our wedding - but who gives a crap, it will make a GREAT coffee table book.



I have also begun my collection of assorted teal mason jars. PLEASE let me know if you have one or someone who does, I would love to buy it, borrow it or even rent it!
Isent the teal of the glasses fabulous?

Would you like more info about Save the Date cards? Pearls Events justed posted a nice blurb about them per my request. Aletha at Pearls Events is our 'Day of' wedding coordinator... this means she makes everything we've planned happen smoothly the day of the wedding. She is also available via email for any of my question concerns. LADIES - hire Pearls Events (even you out of town-ers)! And YES - you can afford her!!!

Also - I'm going to be deleting my post on voting for colors. Somehow it messed up the color of my blog and I cannot fix it - so get your votes in now. hehe

designs...

I'm currently working on a birth announcment but in the mean time I thought I would share the programs Megan and I came up with for their wedding a couple weeks back. The design was nothing too complicated or over the top, they were simple - easy - and we wouldn't cry when they got left behind or thrown away.

my first DIY (for OUR wedding)...

Made some tin can lanterns this Sunday… Don’t worry – they are not my center pieces… Imagine them scattered around the outside of the reception hall lining the wooden walk ways… ooo la la!

Enjoy!
Thought or ideas? I not even sure yet what the designs should be... it was just a test.

ALSO -

I'm thinking about a color post here pretty soon... ! Did i really pick colors!?!?!?!?!
