life today

is pretty good.
got a call from the place we applied for a permit to hold our ceremony... it's a go :)
I haven't really shared too much about the wedding plans huh?
I better get on that, I fear though i might just bore the heck out of you...
anyway, i can't really show pictures of my dress because well, mr.handsome reads this blog.
so the suspense thickens. Just know it's a glorified bridesmaids dress and it's classy and pretty. and i loved the price tag. shoes AND dress under 400. hi 5 me please. i feel good.

hmm... small wedding? yes. pretty much we are able to invite family and friends to the ceremony, yet will be holding a small private reception with family only. It's just the way it is. i'd invite everyone. yes, you too :) but handsome and i are happy go lucky trying to save up for a house. and you know what? I think we are going to buy a house! still need to do more research and hunt hunt hunt. but mostly, lots of prayer. i need a space big enough for my little wee studio. I threatened to take over the kitchen if i don't have a space :)
joking of course.

invitations are mainly inspired by MM passport paper line from last year, you remember the paper? swoon right? but ask me if i have finished designing the invitations? go ahead.... *blushes* nope. and the wedding is less than 3 months away. oops.

But here is some progress: Danielle Thompson just released new kits and they are adorable!

hold me

and for the new prompt: wishes over at TAIF

WISH

All digital since: i'm running low on ink. have graphic design withdrawls. hadn't yet tried the digital and wondered if i would like the creative process. I like it :)

i've enjoyed checking out blogs to people who leave comments or follow along. LOVE the work you girls are doing! Talent. sheer talent. it's pretty and inspiring so thank you for that!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported my belladrummer etsy shop. I feel it's only right to give away some of the items up for sale....so, 2 give aways... just in time for valentines! 2 lucky winners will be chosen Monday Feb 9. I'd like to get this stuff into some creative hands :) so leave a comment: (because sometimes i have no idea what to blog about) if you have any questions or suggestions on stuff you'd like me to cover, leave a comment. Or just tell me a little about yourself :) Anything goes (internationals always welcome :)

grazie loves

I'm planning a small (and I really mean small) wedding this year too. My goal is to find my wedding outfit for $200 total. I never paid more than $20 for my prom dresses so I think I can do it!

Deana said...

Hmmm... how about a spray paint tutorial? :-)

sannika said...

I found your blog a couple of weeks ago so almost anything is new for me. I love seeing your creations and hope you won't abandon your blog in the midst of the wedding preparations... Oooh and congrats on getting married :-)

My art journal came this weekend! I just love it -- and all the extra pretty tags! Thanks so much. :)

We're getting ready to start the home-buying adventure. We've been saving for nearly five years -- I am so excited about the possibilities!

Classy, pretty dress high five!!!

Just know that I for one, am NEVER bored by wedding preparation details. :)

What a deal on your dress! And good luck with the house hunt! It's definitely a great decision to get one. I wish Phil and I had our own. You should share more wedding details, I think that would be fun. Like little details you're planning, because I'm sure as creative as you are, you have lots of fun details planned! :)

I had my wedding on the same day. My wedding was small- did I say small? I meant miniscule. Like me and him small! It was also secret! And we didnt reveal that until nearly a year later! :0) No big upsets from my family about the news and my wedding will truly be one I remember I hope the same goes for you!
