Wedding Planning Update

The wedding is less than five months away! I can't believe how close we are getting after being engaged for nearly two years. Recent updates include:

• The bridesmaid dresses have been purchased
• We met with the photographer we will most likely hire
• We have meetings with two bakeries to try cupcakes in the next few weeks
• We selected our invitation style
  

Most of the major things are finally starting to come together. We need to actually book the photographer, find a DJ, think about a hair stylist, blah blah blah...

Since we are so close, the DIY projects have started in full force. I have been bringing home items from work every day for potential centerpiece ideas. In fact, I just special ordered a gazillion tealight holders for us. Good thing I have an employee discount!
I also plan on making our guestbook and the flower girl basket. I'm not thinking about too many other projects right now since I already have five nights of school plus six days of work every week on my plate.

We're counting down!

Operation Write Home

With all of the holiday madness going on right now, I haven't had a lot of time to post anything terribly interesting here. I did want to take a moment to highlight an important cause, however.

I have been spending the past few months trying to make some nice cards for an organization called Operation Write Home. This organization accepts handmade cards from crafters all over the country and sends them to the troops that are stationed overseas. The troops use these cards to send back to their families for holidays, birthdays, or just because.

I hope everyone takes a second to check out the website. Think about sending in some cards yourself; they could always use more!
