anti-slideshow.

for our wedding, my fiance and i wanted to display photos somehow but are anti-slideshow. in the past i've loved the slide show at weddings; its entertaining and makes people laugh, but more importantly i loved seeing how many times i was in it. many of the shows i've seen have been of people who were 10 years younger than i, leaving me with a lot more snaps to play through! so, instead of taking our guests on a trip down memory lane via a 30 minutes show, we opted to create a photo screen to be used as a back drop for the place card table. i started with an old room screen and a cardboard box. i painted the cardboard and affixed fabric with tacks. the final project is pictured below.

great balls of flower.

i am getting married!

the past few months i have been living at hobby lobby and michaels to create wedding craftiness. my latest is the flower ball that my little flower girl ava will carry. because she is so little i didn't want to put the money into a real flower bouquet, so check out what i made with styrofoam, silk flowers, and about 8 sticks of hot glue!
