Our Save the Date Postcard Scratch-offs

For our save the date cards,  we decided to create postcards with scratch-offs. The scratch-offs on the back revealed the date.   We used VistaPrint (http://www.vistaprint.com/) to get the postcard and a family friend was able to give us circle scratch offs to place on the date.   

I also created an electronic save the date for the website for those that we were 

sending electronic invitations to.  I used Adobe Flash and saved it as a movie to upload to the website.

I was not able to upload it for viewing. 

Wedding ~ DIY Projects

In the coming weeks, I will begin posting my adventures of creating my dream wedding.

For our wedding (June 2011), I decided to do a few DIY projects.

1. Design and Print Save the Dates 
2. Design and Print Invitations
3. Design Wedding Website
4. Make Wedding Favors 
5. Make Bridal Bouquets 
6. Make Bridal Gifts 
7. Make Parent's Gift and Guestbook
8. Make Out of Town Bags

There might be more that I am forgetting.  We created a lot of the items for our wedding and hope that my experience can help someone with their wedding. 

BzzAgent ~ Trying new things

I joined BzzAgent about a month ago and accepted a campaign to try some Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner.  A week ago I received a small package with the shampoo. I was so excited to try it.  I am not one to spend a lot of money on shampoo. So I never bought anything that was more that $2.99 or so.

The shampoo and conditioner smell great and have made my hair smoother but I am not sure how it will hold up as a daily use.  I am planning on trying to use it daily for the next 2 weeks to see how my hair is.

If you have used this shampoo let me know how you like it.

A Year of Changes

The past year had a few changes for us.  We finally got married in June and we both got new swim coaching jobs.  I have also completed my teaching degree and am looking for a full time teaching job.  


Crafting was put on the back burner this past year and I finally have the time and energy to begin again.  There are so many projects on my to-do list and pinterest has not helped it at all. 


I will begin to post some of the wedding projects that I did.  Hopefully, it will help someone else. 


Until next time :-)
