{{D.I.Y. Memorial Candles}}

Not having special loved ones there to celebrate your day with you can be really hard. So to memorialize those who are no longer with us I decided to again use an Ashley (Kholer44) D.I.Y. project, because I fell in love with how elegant yet simple her memorial table looked. So here are my memorial candles. They were very easy to make and took me less than 30 minutes.

Materials:

• Vellum Paper
• Thin Glue Strips
• Ribbon
• Small Cylinder Vases (I purchased mine at the Dollar Store)
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Lay out the design that you want on your Memorial candles in a program like Word or Adobe Photoshop.
2. Next print your design making sure that you read the paper instructions to see what printer is safe for the paper (I used a laser printer).
3. Next cut the paper to the right size and wrap the paper around the outside of the vase.
4. Secure the two ends of the paper with a piece of thin glue strip.
5. Next cut your ribbon to size and use the thin glue strips to secure the ribbon to the paper. (I ran my ribbon through my Xyron sticker machine)

I plan on using small LED lights to keep them lit throughout the night (I also purchased these at Dollar Store).

{{BRIDAL SHOWER #1}} Work Peeps!!

Last week was ever so busy but there was a light at the end of the tunnel with a GREAT shower given to me by my WONDERFUL co-workers (Thanks Sherry, Beth, Sharon, Patti & Susan). I had such a great time, everyone was beyond generous. FH was pleasantly surprised when I got home and my Jeep Compass was packed full of gifts, the both of us really appreciate everything! Here are a few pics from the shower::

{{BUDGET Find:: Display Easels}}

I have really been on the search for a great but affordable way to display our table numbers. Everything that I came across and actually liked was just too pricey. So off to the Dollar Tree I went hoping to find some cute frames or photo clips. Well not only did I find the cutest display easels but they were packed 2/$1, eeeeek I was just way too excited. They are so cute and my numbers fit like a glove!!! So if you are anywhere near a Dollar Tree I suggest you guys check them out. They also had great frames, nice votive holders & small cylinder vases.

I am having a dress fitting this weekend so keep your fingers crossed that it still fits like a glove. Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!!!

{{My D.I.Y. Door Signs & Program Basket}}

Here are my D.I.Y. door signs for the Bridal Suite/Do Not Disturb & the Groom's Suite. They were very easy to make, I simply printed the wording on a laser printer, embossed them & added the crystals.

Here is my program basket, I followed the same directions as listed above and just glued the sign to damask ribbon and added it to my basket that I purchased from T J Maxx for $5.99. As you will see there are no programs in the basket yet because I am currently working on them, they are a very detailed design and I want them to be as perfect as possible so give me a week or two to get those printed and assembled.
