wedding crafts

Now that the wedding is over and I have a bit of time, I can post some crafts I worked on. Since I had a bit of time to plan, and plenty of inspiration from wedding blogs like greenweddingshoes and 100layercake, I had a lots of fun. Sadly my camera started malfunctioning so I was only able to take a couple shots for now. Hoping to get my camera to get fixed and back in my hands...or possibly buy a new one?


I painted my own cake toppers that I bought from etsy to look like us and used yarn on the platform. I tried to use them whatever crafts I could with yarn. I bought the wooden letters from Michaels, cloth and felt from Joanns for the corsages and invitation supplies from paperandmore.

I also got a great gift from my bridesmaids that I don't think I would ever use because they are so pretty. I think when we move into the house, I will frame them and put them in the kitchen.

Phoenix's 1st birthday

This past weekend Charles and I went to Phoenix's first birthday that was garden themed and it was so fun! There was a taco truck, a moon bounce, crafts,a piƱata, face painting and lots and lots of treats. Most of everything was put together by her hard working mommy and loving aunties, including the bee and flower cake pops shown below.

Personalized grab bags for the goodies 

















Fun, family, friends and good food. What more could you ask for? Happy birthday Phoenix!
