This blog is so outdated!

What have I been doing?

1. Obsessing (really obsessing) over the finishing touches to our living room.
2. Printing photos for our bathroom.
3. Making valentines for April Fosters valentine exchange in my new art studio.
4. Poking around twitter.
5. Working out (just a little)
6. Blogging for the new co (and I HATE writing!!!)
7. Cooking alot.
8. Secretly watching reality tv.
9. Trying not to think about weddings and how much i love them.
10. Hanging out with Greg, snuggling with Pixel and punishing hank.
11. Taking a fused glass class with my mom.

another space inspiration photo

I think this bench from ikea is close enough for 39.99

with these picture ledges also from ikea for only 19.99

To buy or to make?

So there are two areas in our home where a set up like this would be appropriate. I love this from Pottery barn but its $379 for just the bench!

I was browsing one of my new favorite mags - Do It Yourself (from Better Homes and Gardens) and came across this fun idea.
I certainly won't be tackeling this before my Art Studio is complete. Perhaps this spring?

Inspiration Board for Jewel Toned Wedding

I created this for Leslie and her Jewel toned (New Years Eve) wedding.
The ring included in the board is her engagement ring (i love it) its plays so nicely with the jewel tone board.

Anyone else want a inspiration board?

The magazine is here!

With poor quality photos on my part... I was rushed with excitement!

Getting Ready

We woke up to a lovely morning full of sunshine. It was the perfect day to get hitched.
My girls arrived at my parents condo. We had coffee, diet coke, bagels and great company while getting our hair and makeup done.
My girls are so beautiful.

Kristen my maid on honor delivered My present from Greg. Pink Tourmaline earrings to match the pink Sapphires in my engagement ring. He's so sweet these were just want I wanted in fact I'm wearing these as I write this post)

Ah... the dress!

In the meantime Greg is getting cold feet. Seriously though, awesome photo right?

My Man... (who hates getting his photo taken)


This picture is one of my favorites of the day. Luke, my brother, helping Grandpa Rizzo with his Tie.

Enjoy!

Rehersal Dinner

August 1, 2008
The Homestead - Glen Arbor, MI

Our rehearsal started at 6pm and we all gathered at the ceremony site. Unfortunately we had to completely rush through due to a storm rolling in. This is something I really regret. I wish rehearsal would have lasted longer than 5 minutes, oh well!

We then headed down to Beppi's a Italian restaurant at the Homestead. We casually enjoyed salad, gourmet Pizza, Oberon, canollies and great company. Thankfully the rain let up and we were able to get some great photos of me and my girls.




The night ended with marshmallows on straws as microphones and rock band at the "state house".
