31 days to go!!!!
so much to do...
I got my Tears of Joy done..(hooray!)
Also worked on a few other projects as well..last week I bought a bunch of stuff at Michael's and Hobby Lobby..I got a bunch of clearance frames...i painted a few out for my Memorial/Loved ones table set up..I even bought a b&w creamer with a black damask pattern on it for flowers on that table as well!

Also we went to an apple orchard on Sunday (may 30th) for engagement pictures..I always thought that we should have done them about a year ago..but never got around to doing it..fortunately we know someone who loves to take pictures and she did a great job..but I'm so super critical of myself its freaking crazy! I guess with me losing so much weight I felt a lot better about stuff, but in pictures I look heavier..so they werent kidding about the camera adding 10-20lbs...but some pictures were really awesome :)

I'll have to get some on here for everyone to see..but i have included pix of my most recent projects :)

Wedding Cake
cake topper!!!
finally found one that reflects our personal style not to mention its kinda vintage and glam too :P

i officially <3 sugar skulls

plus these double as very cool and artsy salt and pepper shakers!!

how cool is that?? My FH just told me today after endless days of trying to find something cheap that was cool and matched our theme..he said to me "If money is whats holding you back, just get whatever is best, don't worry about the money, I'll pay for it!" How sweet is this guy of mine??!!!?! LOL

So after my month long search on Etsy...
here is the result!

...swarovski crystals and all..just enough bling to go with

visit goodydevi 's Etsy shop! and they come in different colors too

Honeymoon
where or where...
Well one thing is for sure we are going to Florida
My brother is stationed in Jacksonville with his wife and we thought we would maybe hit there for a minute then head to Tampa for the Red Sox vs. Rays game (we got the tix on Friday!) then head back to Orlando maybe hit Universal Studios yadda yadda..then head down towards Miami to see my Grandma and Uncles..and enjoy some time with them.. She hasn't been the same since my Grandpa passed little over a year ago...

I know this doesn't seem like your typical getaway but we wanted to get away from Indiana and explore..just spending time with each other
We are driving down so that will be interesting LOL
We are stopping in Savannah, GA. before we get into Jacksonville, Fla. I've always wanted to go there for so many reasons :)

Share a Deal
go to ebay!
on ebay you can find tons of stuff for SO much cheaper

for tears of joy packets...type in "glassine envelopes"...you'll want to get size #3...the pocket tissues fit perfectly into these envelopes

I got 100 for about $5..not bad!
I got a package of 10-10tissue packs (100 total tissues) for $1 at
Christmas Tree Shops...SOOO cheap!

tomorrow I'm off to FedEx-Kinko's to print up my Tears of Joy labels since I ran out of ink for my printer..so much cheaper than a new ink cartridge LOL! My FH says he has a paper guillotine at work that we can borrow to cut the labels nice and neat since I'm not sure how much Kinkos would charge to cut them all out.

if you want loose clear rhinestones..go to Walmart in the craft isle
they will be in a little tube right near all the craft ribbon
