I really have so much to blog about but I always manage to forget by the time I get home. So the blog may get flooded some days because I'm make a list on my phone during the day so I can remember lol.
So today I think I'll blog about my Save-the-dates. If you don't already know I am hand-making our save the dates and well I must say they are pretty much the coolest thing EVER!!! I actually found almost all the supplies at Big Lots for waaaayyyyy less then it would have cost at a craft store. I found the most amazing card stock to use for the front piece and I also got the most perfect brads that match for super duper cheap. SCORE!!!!
So the design is called the Viewfinder and it's based off the red plastic viewfinders with the little circles w/pictures we had as kids. I'm pretty sure I still have mine somewhere lol. It's actually fairly simple to make minus all the measuring (oh and cutting circles REALLY sucks!!). At least we(my mom and I) got all the big circles cut already. (Thank you bunches mummy!!! xoxo)
I also really think this is why I can't find an invitation because nothing is gonna be comparable to the awesomeness of the save the dates. As much fun as it's going to be/has been making them, it has made me decide to order invitations printed and ready to mail. DIY projects take A LOT of time and patience. although I have found that crafting is very stress relieving lol. (I even bought a glue gun. Watch out!!) We still have to get our engagement photos done but we're going to get those done soon.
Oh and I just have to add it's so exciting to see an actual date on paper! It just makes it even more official lol, well at least I think so...
