Bridal Shower Projects

Here are a few things that I made for my future SIL's bridal shower that we had back in January. I found this polka dot paper and just LOVED it! The wedding colors are blue, white and silver so I thought blue, white and brown would be nice for the shower. I didn't want the shower to look too much like the wedding and brown just looks so nice with just about anything!
These are the Menu Cards. Not a whole lot to them but they were a nice touch at each of the place settings. Each card included a wine glass charm that had the word "LOVE" on them that was made using shrinky dink material.
These are the Centerpieces. Again, pretty simple but I just love those polka dots!! The basket holds a bottle of my future SIL's favorite Apple Wine from Upstate NY, a jar candle, and two wine glasses. You can't see them in the picture, but the wine glasses each have a wine glass charm on them just like the one on the menu cards. One that reads "LIVE" and one that reads "LAUGH". So the "winner" of the centerpiece had a set of "LIVE", "LAUGH", "LOVE" wine glass charms!!

Here I Go!!

I'm going to try to make the most of my lay off and do something that I have wanted to do for a long time...start a Blog! Most of what I will blog about will be my hobby...paper crafting. I'd love to turn my hobby into a "career" someday. Maybe sooner than later?

I know it's going to take a lot of trial and error for me to get the hang of setting up my blog, so please bear with me. I'll try to learn fast so I can get to the good stuff!! Stay tuned and thanks for visiting!!
