My one year wedding anniversary is coming up next month!<br />
My darling and I will be taking a long weekend to stay in a secluded treehouse about 1.5hrs from us. We want to get away entirely so we will totally unplug and even read real books (how novel!) as opposed to my nook and his iPad.<br />
I am really looking forward to the time to reset and enjoy each other without school, work, etc.<br />
<br />
In anticipation of our one year, I started thinking about fun paper related gifts as that is traditionally the symbol of the first wedding anniversary.<br />
<br />
I found some really fun ideas!! Whether you and your hunny are interested in adhering to the traditional symbols or not, these are some pretty things to look at.<br />

and Happy New Year!<br />
<br />
I'm in school studying Graphic Design and working full time so I do not have a lot of free time. I did, however, make time to design some silly Galentine's Day cards for my Gals!<br />
<br />
If you don't watch Parks and Recreation, you may not know what Galentine's Day is. The day before Valentine's Day, the girls get together for breakfast without their men and celebrate each other.<br />
<br />
I designed some little cards for the gals in my life using some of the compliments Leslie gives her best friend, Ann, in Parks and Recreation. I also made a PDF for you to print off your own Galentines!<br />
<br />

<br />
My dear friend at <a href="http://gustoandgrace.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Gusto and Grace</a> organized a <a href="http://gustoandgrace.wordpress.com/2013/12/10/12-days-of-christmas-cookies-an-online-cookie-swap/" target="_blank">Christmas Cookie Exchange</a>. Be sure to check out all the other great cookie recipes on the participating blogs (listed below with links)!<br />
<br />
Lebkuchen is a German spice cookie. I have never been to Germany so I don't know how authentic this recipe but I do know that it's delicious!<br />
<br />
I made two different Lebkuchen recipes last year for a party, one was gluten free and one wasn't. Surprisingly, the gluten free one turned out better than the regular recipe!<br />
<br />
<div class="summary" id="intro">
This lebkuchen cookie dough is very easy to work with. </div>
<h3>
<span style="color: #38761d;">Ingredients:</span></h3>
<ul>
<li class="ingredient">1 cup plus 2 tablespoons rice flour (2 tablespoons = 1/8 cup)</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/4 plus 2 tablespoons tapioca flour</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/4 cup sweet rice flour</li>
<li class="ingredient">3/4 teaspoon salt</li>
<li class="ingredient">3/4 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/2 teaspoon baking soda</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/4 teaspoon guar gum or xanthan gum</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper</li>
<li class="ingredient">3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom</li>
<li class="ingredient">3/4 teaspoon allspice</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/4 teaspoon mace</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/4 teaspoon ground ginger</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/4 teaspoon ground cloves</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/2 cup honey</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/2 cup brown sugar</li>
<li class="ingredient">3 tablespoons softened butter OR dairy free butter substitute such as coconut oil</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 egg</li>
<li class="ingredient">Extra sweet rice flour to sprinkle on cutting board (I used regular white rice flour)</li>
<li class="ingredient">For Glaze: 1 cup gluten-free powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon rum OR cream OR coconut milk</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="rP">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Preparation:</span></h3>
<div class="instructions">
Preheat oven to 350° F <br />
<br />
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper, silicone liners OR lightly grease with oil <br />
<br />
Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to thoroughly blend. <br />
<br />
In another large mixing bowl add honey, brown sugar,egg and softened butter. Use an electric mixer and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. <br />
<br />
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat just until combined. Transfer cookie dough onto a large sheet of waxed paper. Shape into a large circle. Wrap completely with waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. <br />
<br />
To shape cookies, remove dough from refrigerator. Use a knife to divide the dough in half. Liberally flour a cutting board with rice flour. Dust a rolling pin with rice flour and roll the dough about 1/8-inch thick for crisp cookies. If you prefer your cookies a bit thicker and softer, roll to about 1/4-inch thick. Dip your favorite holiday cookie cutters in rice flour and cut out cookies. Use a spatula to transfer cookies to baking sheets. <br />
<br />
Bake in preheated oven for about 8-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned and are firm to the touch. Thinly rolled cookies will bake faster than thicker cookies! Transfer to a cooling rack. <br />
<br />
I didn't glaze mine, but if you want to:<br />
whisk powdered sugar and rum or water together until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add a few drops of chosen liquid until the consistency is right for drizzling on cooled cookies. <br />
<br />
Use a fork or small spoon to drizzle glaze on each cookie. Let cookies sit until the glaze sets. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!!<br />

<br />
In getting gifts for some extended family that I don't know very well and not having a huge amount of money to spend, I ended up with simple, useful gifts. I wanted to spruce up the wrapping and presentation to make them a little more fun so I came up with the idea of paper stockings. They are simple to make and, I think, turned out just adorable!<br />
<br />
I got <a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/product/christmas+trees+kraft+giftwrap.do?&from=fn" target="_blank">this craft paper from World Market</a> and used an oversized needle with some deep red yarn to see them together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaOLGBNBSMOEoFfrbEzqU0OYP0ifPSINoZIed84jwd49gffk4tSZrbfHSusRJAJ_op5p0_ns3p4dwetASZQKkSZ9eM1PGW8Lpxs6mgiWv_gSqyC0ugx_CbSN0qAL_ZRO4THczmGXyhN018/s1600/IMG_0100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaOLGBNBSMOEoFfrbEzqU0OYP0ifPSINoZIed84jwd49gffk4tSZrbfHSusRJAJ_op5p0_ns3p4dwetASZQKkSZ9eM1PGW8Lpxs6mgiWv_gSqyC0ugx_CbSN0qAL_ZRO4THczmGXyhN018/s400/IMG_0100.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
Heavy weight paper for a stocking template of your desired size & shape<br />
Craft paper<br />
Yarn for sewing and to make pom poms<br />
Large needle<br />
Scissors<br />
Patience<br />
<br />
Step 1:<br />
Cut a template from the heavy weight paper of the desired size and stocking shape. Make sure you have plenty of room for the things you will be putting inside without stressing the seams and ripping the paper of your completed stocking.<br />
<br />
Step 2:<br />
Trace stocking shape onto craft paper, twice. If using pattered paper, be sure that once you put the two halves together, the pattern will be the right direction and facing out. Cut out.<br />
<br />
Step 3:<br />
Sew craft paper stocking together (with pattern facing out) with the yarn and needle.<br />
<br />
Step 4:<br />
Make pom pom and gift tag.<br />
Here's a great tutorial for making several pom poms at a time: <i><a href="http://www.flaxandtwine.com/2013/03/making-pompoms-in-bulk.html#_a5y_p=952049" target="_blank">Making Pom Poms In Bulk</a></i><br />

I'm excited about giving these out!<br />

This cake is so easy and the payoff is amazing. Of everything that I have baked since I have been married, my husband loved this the most.<br />
<br />
I love cinnamon and, since I had to go gluten free, I don't think I have had one cinnamon roll. I haven't put out the effort to attempt to perfect a GF cinnamon roll recipe so, in the mean time, I'll make this! It's not quite the same but it's a darn good coffee cake and it'll give you your cinnamon fix.<br />
It has a cinnamon sugar layer on top and swirled inside and it gets a lovely crackled top with nice dimension.<br />

My true love gave to me <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Four Calling Birds</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
Here's a couple of ideas.<br />
<br />
Go for set of "calling" cards with birds on them like this darling set.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/84833445/typewriter-hello-card-10pcs?ref=shop_home_active"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Dx3MthcSiWw8-o6euRHfRdoW-igJXvFQpxaI_xNd3kPo5_i-N0pQD_AnD2Fv_J1EDbF672fcLuTCG_2VhOStOITAuj7Ny0vIqXqC1_lkKTaoboNipVKcvYsWyydGfl_2b0PoFXwsFgvR/s1600/il_570xN.425319434_9ijv.jpg" /></a></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/84833445/typewriter-hello-card-10pcs?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">$19.50 for set of 10 via QuillandFox on Etsy</a></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div>
Or a set of four bird plates like these:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>

Once the above set is sold, here are some other options: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/153855206/bird-plates-set-of-8-vintage?ref=sr_gallery_5&ga_search_query=bird+plate+set&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_ref=auto1&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=bird+plate+set">LilBatsInThe Attic</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheMadPlatters?section_id=11114643&page=2">TheMad Platers</a> via Etsy. <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/category/dining%20&%20entertaining/home-dinner-collections.jsp?cm_sp=LEFTNAV-_-SUB_CATEGORY-_-DINNER_COLLECTIONS_&_PLATES" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a> has some good bird plates too!<br />

Make a special French egg breakfast such as Quiche. Try this <a href="http://goat%20cheese%20quiche%20with%20hash-brown%20crust/" target="_blank">Goat Cheese Quiche with Hash Brown Crust</a> from Martha Stewart. (And a special plus! It's Gluten Free!)<br />
<br />
Or find a recipe of your own! If you use a pre-made pie crust or make your own in advance, you can get everything ready the night before and bake it while you get ready for work. Or do what my husband and I love to do: have breakfast for dinner! Mimosas anyone?<br />

As I mentioned, this is my first married Christmas and the first time I've had my own space to decorate. I have finals this week so I've been going nutso getting papers written and projects finished so my hall decking is coming along slowly and intermittently. Our beautiful tree stood bare for at least a week before I had time to decorate it.<br />
<br />
I did make time to make a wreath out of the scraps I snagged from the Christmas tree lot! So maybe I should have been doing homework but a girl's gotta have priorities!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5T4NKXNC5ZES2xHnIJIWQ07Fw9-nQmord7nj6-Ohh7z1zSx9MxeIzpF9q0jw-judT9eQO5-X1Xa5bdpvPrAHApOOiqcqmchxMQf-kAq8t7OccPxizYYQE5IIceopG0jaZROahgSAjFHad/s1600/wreath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5T4NKXNC5ZES2xHnIJIWQ07Fw9-nQmord7nj6-Ohh7z1zSx9MxeIzpF9q0jw-judT9eQO5-X1Xa5bdpvPrAHApOOiqcqmchxMQf-kAq8t7OccPxizYYQE5IIceopG0jaZROahgSAjFHad/s1600/wreath.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I was inspired by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jgosche/3099127882/in/photostream/">this wreath</a> that I found on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/caitnel/holidays/">Pinterest</a> and figured out how to make it happen with what I have.<br />
<br />
In addition to the cuttings from the tree farm I gathered some sticks and <strike>stole</strike> trimmed some holly from the bushed in front of my office building.<br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
Wreath frame (if desired)<br />
Florist wire<br />
Greenery of choice (it uses more than you may think so get plenty!)<br />
Sticks<br />
Heavy duty scissors or wire cutters<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 1:</span> Lay down a sheet or newspaper for a work area and clip greenery to smaller pieces that are ready to be wired on to your frame.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbeiW-UAMfgOY6Q8bnc1jsAvk9vPz013dlkHIEBrt7w7bLbgNfXuCMj9KlPPWWFWkz2wfStjkwx6tH2UhF8E38EZVLTTr3QZ43RGfPUHf6CTz_bnWmvOc_t7425SS0kRUVGLAwTVveSYyI/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbeiW-UAMfgOY6Q8bnc1jsAvk9vPz013dlkHIEBrt7w7bLbgNfXuCMj9KlPPWWFWkz2wfStjkwx6tH2UhF8E38EZVLTTr3QZ43RGfPUHf6CTz_bnWmvOc_t7425SS0kRUVGLAwTVveSYyI/s1600/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 2:</span> Start with wreath frame or wire some sticks of roughly the same length together. Do your best to make sure the frame is very secure.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd0oeng-mh-g7qZI1-hvcTuYHUxhVu135v5yvcWBOeFCQz7n-ytOeKE_AOv2oAOXHElMwT-tRvWjQPhzurjaHhyelCrHOWP2Xn7RiwI900rOBzT0ZjpxCzXOBCoEKf3ufd1pc1wjBpyJQF/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd0oeng-mh-g7qZI1-hvcTuYHUxhVu135v5yvcWBOeFCQz7n-ytOeKE_AOv2oAOXHElMwT-tRvWjQPhzurjaHhyelCrHOWP2Xn7RiwI900rOBzT0ZjpxCzXOBCoEKf3ufd1pc1wjBpyJQF/s1600/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3:</span> Begin wiring greenery pieces onto your frame. It is best to keep all your greenery facing the same direction, rotating your frame as you make your way around it.<br />
This step should be where the fullness of your wreath is determined. I didn't make mine as full as I wanted here so I had to keep adding greenery later which was much harder to make look good.<br />
The more your greens overlap, the thicker and fuller your wreath will be.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgarwo-0rs1KJCcKOik0Ey7X3aaWE6g0aBpKcS1LsubHVJ7x_bALNucOFPm4QOsPn-UbMtKxpBSLNHoT0qsfoE7Uiil0MLKNbQMO_urnam-9DHGd2EzJvD4X-sfgeU5HE_Otgxh10MJd_eZ/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgarwo-0rs1KJCcKOik0Ey7X3aaWE6g0aBpKcS1LsubHVJ7x_bALNucOFPm4QOsPn-UbMtKxpBSLNHoT0qsfoE7Uiil0MLKNbQMO_urnam-9DHGd2EzJvD4X-sfgeU5HE_Otgxh10MJd_eZ/s1600/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 4:</span> Wire on sticks.<br />
Lay the sticks on your wreath and play around with placement so you know where each one is going before you start wiring them in place.<br />
This was a little tricky to find a secure spot to wire them without smashing the greenery. It should be secure but, unless your wreath needs to stand up to heavy winds, the sticks can be a little wiggly.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 5:</span> Hold up wreath and examine from different angles and fill in any thin spots with more greenery.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 6:</span> Add berries and other accent greenery or additional adornment.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBK5KW1q6plv1d1rP0CKoJuapU8R5eboA80k3jfQ0QUUXi45FQxxEBUsSH5FTTEEYk-JOrh8BLa0vBkUVayLh7ke5DC4-pTAGNYMotELgJWPiHOpQnuvuJEiSsB5cDZBX-cqb-mdAFiDg/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBK5KW1q6plv1d1rP0CKoJuapU8R5eboA80k3jfQ0QUUXi45FQxxEBUsSH5FTTEEYk-JOrh8BLa0vBkUVayLh7ke5DC4-pTAGNYMotELgJWPiHOpQnuvuJEiSsB5cDZBX-cqb-mdAFiDg/s1600/5.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
At this point you can use wire or string to add a hanging tab on the back. I have a wreath hanger that I just hooked onto the wreath frame.<br />
<br />

I want to get this out there before Thanksgiving is over and the world prepares for Christmas!<br />
My extracurricular activities (such as updating this blog) have been seriously hampered by the fact that I am now in school. I am studying Graphic Design at the Art Institute AND continuing my full time job. I am definitely excited for Christmas break!!!<br />
<br />
I had a fall costume party and wanted to share some of the decorations I made.<br />
My goal was to make it fun and fall but not Halloween-ey. I found <a href="http://www.100layercake.com/blog/2011/10/14/a-little-dose-of-fall/" target="_blank">this styled shoot</a> and that was it!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I was so focused on getting my costume together after school and before the party that I didn't get very great pictures of the set up.<br />
<br />
Here are the shots from the styled shoot by <a href="http://lovemesailor.com/#/page/9107/weddings/" target="_blank">Love Me Sailor</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MrCaballeroCreative" target="_blank">Mr. Caballero</a>, and <a href="http://geronimoballoons.com/" target="_blank">Geronimo Balloons</a> in L.A. originally posted by <b><a href="http://www.100layercake.com/blog/2011/10/14/a-little-dose-of-fall/" target="_blank">100 Layer Cake</a>.</b><br />

I mean. Beautiful right?!<br />
<br />
I ordered one chocolate brown and one orange 30" balloon from <a href="http://balloonsfast.com/">balloonsfast.com</a> and these <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IAZOMQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">gold foil baking cups</a>, borrowed all of my mom's silver serving dishes, and decided to make everything else for the decor.<br />
<br />
I plan to write up a tutorial for the balloon tassels soon and will link it here.<br />
<br />
I had orange crush to drink with gold pipe cleaner curls, some beautiful french macaroons that I found at Trader Joe's, a tassel garland made from gold ribbon and tissue paper tassels, a silver bowl of clementines, and Gluten Free chocolate cupcakes (<a href="http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2012/05/23/salted-caramel-cupcakes-recipe/" target="_blank">this recipe</a> but with GF all purpose flour) with salted caramel buttercream icing (<a href="http://www.wearenotmartha.com/2011/09/salted-caramel-cupcakes/" target="_blank">this recipe</a> with coarse salt sprinkled on top).<br />
<br />
A couple other people brought caramel apples and some fall doughnuts and we had a sweet time of it!<br />
<br />
I also whipped up a vanilla cake with the help of a friend's recipe and cake frosting tools because there were a couple birthdays coming up.<br />

For the cake topper, I cut triangles of brown paper, wrote Happy Birthday on them with gold paint marker, threaded them through with white embroidery floss, and tied them to kabob skewers.<br />
The cake is decorated with gold stars and edible glitter.<br />
<br />
I dressed up as Frida Kahlo complete with a light unibrow and mustache:<br />

My (now husband) hates the term 'Save The Date'. So we didn't have those to prepare people for our wedding, we had 'Mark Your Calendar's. :)<br />
<br />
I was going to do away with them all together because everyone that needed to know our date early for travel plans, etc. already knew so I considered it an unnecessary expense. However, my darling had such a good idea and was so excited that I liked the idea as well that I felt we had to send them.<br />
<br />
My husband could be termed, what I refer to as, an Über Nerd. He has extensive knowledge of space travel, past and present, listens to lectures and podcasts on astro physics for entertainment, enjoys tinkering with legos on a regular basis, reads comic books (Marvel not DC... heaven forbid you should confuse the two), etc. I love all of these things about him and encourage him not to hide his 'nerdy' interests. (He also is an avid mountain biker, has his private pilot's license, and has other more active (and expensive) hobbies. I love a very multi faceted man).<br />
<br />
With that explanation through, he suggested using a comic book cover with likenesses of us as our <strike>Save The Date</strike> Mark Your Calendar. I had him pick a cover he liked and my art school sister went at it in Photoshop.<br />
<br />
I had it printed on post cards with our wedding date info on the back (I used <a href="http://www.alphagraphics.com/" target="_blank">Alphagraphics</a> and picked them up locally) and we received a huge amount of positive feedback! And my husband was so excited that I used his idea. Win win!!<br />

<br />
I had a very interesting time with my wedding dress. I was hoping for an obvious, tearful, fireworks moment when I put on 'the one' but I never got that. If this is the case with you, don't feel like there's something wrong with you (or your dress selection!). You definitely shouldn't have to settle, but not everyone has that magical moment. I read an article that I wish I had bookmarked that helped me a lot. It said that sometimes what makes the dress special and 'THE dress' is that it's the dress you've chosen to get married in. It's not always the dress itself that is inherently meaningful, it's the meaning you give it. I clung to that when I was going through my wedding dress journey.<br />
<br />
I really didn't know what I wanted starting out but as I began trying on gowns, I quickly started seeing what I didn't want with no noticeable pattern as to be any help at all. I realized that I probably wasn't going to find something that I liked off the rack. It was going to take some customizing before I really felt like it was 'me'. After several dress shop visits, I eventually decided that I wanted a fairly poufy dress with a calf length high/low hemline so I could swing dance at the reception.<br />
<br />
I ended up making an appointment at the last minute for a sample sale at <a href="http://www.blissfw.com/" target="_blank">Bliss Bridal Salon</a> in Fort Worth, TX. The girls that worked with me were personal, cheerful, and upbeat and, since it was a sample sale, the prices were very reasonable.<br />
I cannot emphasis clearly how anti-climactic my decision moment was. When I had the dress on, I felt pretty and comfortable. There were lots of other dresses that I had tried on that looked good on me but were just inexplicably wrong. Basically, this was the first one I had tried that wasn't a 'no' so I went for it! I was so nervous about my decision that as soon as I got in the car I burst into tears. I think it was partially relief at having that huge decision over, but also how unsure I was because I didn't have 'a moment'. My mom didn't burst into tears when she saw the dress, I didn't get misty eyed. I just calmly said, "Yeah. This one's good". And there it was. The material was my favorite part. It had a natural linen-like quality while remaining sheer and dainty. It's hard to see that in the photos.<br />

The dress I bought was several sizes too large and full length with a train so next were the alterations. That in itself was a journey! They made a mistake on the hem and the high and low were not centered. After they removed the whole bodice from the skirt and centered the levels (also waving the fee for the whole thing) I finally had my dress!<br />
<br />
The article I read was right. The fact that it was MY DRESS made it so special!! And my husband <u>loved</u> it!<br />

Aha! I'm still alive!<br />
I've been married for almost 5 months now and it looks like I'm ready to rejoin the world again. :)<br />
I am loving being married and we have been spending all our free time doing nothing together which, after a year of wedding planning, has been EXACTLY what we both needed.<br />
<br />
My excitement has been building about posting all the DIY projects I did for my wedding to the point that I can't wait any longer!<br />
For a little sample of how it all turned out, check out where we were featured on <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/eco-friendly-airplane-hanger-wedding-caitlin-steven/" target="_blank">Green Wedding Shoes</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
It was a huge honor to be featured as I had looked at a lot of the <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/category/real-weddings/" target="_blank">Real Weddings</a> on the GWS blog for ideas while planning our wedding, which basically ended up being my <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/caitnel/spring-wedding/" target="_blank">Pinterest board</a> come to life! (And I'm not ashamed to admit it)<br />
<br />
Of course, I could not have done half of what we did without the help of my amazing friends and family. It really was a group effort. I can't say enough what talented and amazing friends I have!!!<br />

Here is a sampling of our engagement photos!<br />
Our friends were gracious enough to let us do the shoot with their Stearman bi-plane.<br />
<br />
Please go and visit the wonderful, amazing <a href="http://eviemarie.com/" target="_blank">Evie Marie Photography</a>'s site to see the other stunning photos that she has taken! Better yet, hire her for your next photo opportunity! In addition to being over-the-top talented, she is a dear friend of mine.<br />
