Celebration in the making

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!  

HAPPY 2013!!!

HAPPY YEAR OF MY WEDDING!!!!

Yes, we put a date on the calendar over Thanksgiving and now the race is on... for me to figure out a wedding and all its details. Its not that I haven't had enough time. We have been engaged for ... hmmm...3 years...I know I know I know... but seriously I wasn't the girl with the 3 ring binder full of details of my "wedding".

So I had to get Save the dates out before Christmas, so all our out of state friends and family would have enough planning time. I didn't make my first deadline...given to me by the 1SG, for a few reasons, a) needed to draft Save the dates in between Christmas cards, and craft shows was more difficult than I imagined; b)the guest list was increasing every time I turned around;  c) the date moved twice due to venue. ... thats my story!  

 

1SG is actively involved with planning. Once the date was decided, he helped choose the colors {eggplant, wisteria, sand and limeade}, decide on the reception venue, groomsmen attire, his ring, designs/ theme of wedding and more.... now once you pick your chin up, also know that he is painting our wedding "guest book" - which more details will follow on that end. 

  

Once I got the save the dates mailed, we discussed wedding favors... after three different designs, 1SG choose the pillow box, which will house chocolates... hello I am like 30 minutes from HERSHEY... not such a stretch for us! Simple for me. Its these flowers that might drive me mad first! 

   

Any advice for me?  

This wedding is a simple elegant wedding. The teens will give me away in a small ceremony on Friday night, and then Saturday is the reception. We are trying to use local resources most of our guests are from out of town, we figure we will support Central PA as much as we can! WAHOO!! 

So I am not really hiding outside the blogsphere, I am just trying to keep on trucking along... May isn't that far away! 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! Hug the ones you love! 

Save the date!

Please note that the verbiage on the following is only showcasing the "Save the date" - therefore it may not be accurate material. I hope that I do not get phone calls from my mother saying "I had to find out from the internet that you are getting married?"  .. so please... though I really want 11.11.2011 as my date to be married, I cannot rush. It is however our anniversary of our first date and it has a nice ring to it... yes?...  These things take time... and money... since that may be what it takes to get his butt half down the aisle.  {wink wink}
Without any further adue:

 I hope for life to let me get back to stamping - since my thumb is healing well! Thank you all for your well wishes and tips on taking care of it. Its still very tender but at least I can temperarily hold on to scissors.

I have looked at the Last Chance items that are good until 30 June... and though I look forward to the new catty, I am losing some of my 'go to' stamps, which is sad.  I just hope that more favorites come my in the new catalog.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Hug the ones you love!
