So I have hopes and dreams to attempt to post at least twice a week. I thought Wednesdays could be for wedding-related things and Friday for everything else. But at the same time, I think restricting myself to certain days might make it a less obtainable goal.
We shall see. I didn’t share photos of my pumpkins and sunflowers last Friday, but they’re growing quite healthily. I’ll share photos tomorrow. I’ve been using the blog to myself keep track of their growth. I’m so excited for them! XD
Or in other words, how I try to work in DIY (do it yourself) projects to wedding-related stuff that isn’t really needed for the wedding.
I have seen those personalized hangers everywhere in wedding photos and I thought “I want that too!”. I ended up finding an easy tutorial on them here.
I didn’t realize people make and sell these. They look like a DIY so I found it funny how people were saying they didn’t really feel like paying $30 per hanger. I made one for each of my bridesmaids and one for myself. The cost per hanger was $2.13 plus the ten to fifteen minutes I spent on each one. And very simple. There was no frustration.
I thought it’d be a good idea for each of my ladies to have one since I’m having them all wear the same dress. If it comes down to the wire, it will be easy to quickly pick out whose is whose. I just need to buy hangers for the two names missing them, but all the ones I had planned to make are done. I wonder if I should make ones for my mom and mom-in-law…
I might end up remaking mine, but all in all, I’m pretty happy with how they turned out.
I can’t believe how quickly these guys are all growing. The photo shows a picture I took this morning before leaving for work and then when I got home around five. This is an exciting project, but at the same time, I’m nervous because unless I turn my whole patio into a planter, I might not have enough room to keep them. /:
I wasn’t expecting them to grow so well! A good and bad thing at the same time. ^^;
Clearly, a stupendous time! Disneyland was just so much fun, from staying in the Disneyland Hotel to our trip between both parks. Then to top it off, the service was amazing. I couldn’t believe it, I felt like a queen with how pampered we were. Adding another bonus, it rained all weekend so we got to walk onto nearly everything we rode. Continue reading
What a blast! :) Can’t wait to share. I just have to say, we made out like bandits. It really was a treat and a vacation that was very much in order. I think my favorite things were the bride and groom mickey mouse ears, the “Just Engaged” pins we got from our hotel and the fact that we rode the Haunted Mansion five times, each time having no line.
We made lots of memories and have lots to share! But there are tons of photos to root through so it might take me a little while to share. XD
Been two months since my last post. I’ve been wanting to blog more, but I keep forgetting. I got distracted with work, being sick, and this:
I’ve been caught up in the steampunky victorian-inspired world of Gail Carriger and her novel series “The Parasol Protectorate”. Heard of it? If not, I’d highly reccomend it, starting with the first book, Soulless.
As such, I’ve been extremely motivated in the cosplay department. Whipped the costume above out during my week of sick unable to venture too far from bed. I’m convinced sickness makes me most productive with cosplay. Still some small details to touch up here and there, but otherwise a completed unexpected costume to wear for Fanime. I even have a bustle! XD
Getting ready for FanimeCon too. I might be taking on more responsibility than the general roving that I did last year as staff. I’m pretty excited. Fanime should be fun, easy, and relaxing. Only issue might be getting work off for Friday. Even if I don’t, I can still be there for the afternoon of the con friday, but still going to try.
Other than that, getting ready for guests tomorrow visiting for my fiance’s Pi Day party. AND Disneyland on Friday. I absolutely cannot wait. It’s going to be so much fun! I haven’t been since Cathleen was born and that will make it 18 years in April. It is a really exciting feeling and one of the only things getting me through this week. Work’s been a little crazy so if I didn’t have Disneyland this weekend, I might be feeling a bit overwhelmed.
We’re going all out too. We’ll be staying at the Disneyland Hotel, bought our tickets, and I’ve snuck in a surprise. Can’t wait to share my good times!
Otherwise, life is good and all is well so look out for Disneyland posts coming soon!
As Erick and I fine-tune our details to our big day (picking the date, setting our budget, assembling a guest list, talking to officiants, etc.), we’ve got a couple of things settled. One such is our wedding colors. I updated the website to incorporate our colors better and also to look a bit more professional. Check it out and please feel free to leave a comment on our guestbook while visiting! ;)
One additional note, if you (and you know who you are) know some of our wedding details, please keep them under wraps if you so feel the desire to leave a comment in our guestbook. We really want to surprise our guests and extended family and want as little influence from others as possible. Hence the secrecy. Just be mindful for us. Thanks!
If you suspected something about the ring, you were right! Erick utterly and completely surprised me on Christmas with an engagement ring. Families are already driving us a little zany, but we’re (at least I am) still on cloud 9 so we’re excited.
Not much to say about the “big day” its self, but I can say we’re planning something pretty big and going to have a lot of fun with it. It’s going to be a long engagement, but we’re cherishing the time and don’t want to rush anything when there really is no need. You can click on the photo above to go to our wedding website where all that “desired” information will be posted frequently. Otherwise, click here.
Wanna see him pop the question? Just watch below. ;)
My collection of holiday cards has grown substantially and it’s so exciting! Do you see yours? Another thing that’s been fun watching change is the tree and the pile of gifts grow under it.
I haven’t really drawn much lately. Even most of the drawings I had done for October were done a couple of months before that. Oran just came out onto my sketchbook page yesterday with an almost pleading look to take back up work on Dreaming of the Moon, wondering where her author is to conclude her story.
