Herron to Rivera

During my wedding planning, one of the things that I was most "sticker shocked" on was how much wedding invitations cost! I looked everywhere (and I'm talking everywhere: Etsy, Michaels, Target, Pinterest, any online shop, etc.) for ones that I liked that were cute, not too elaborate, and at a reasonable price (meaning not $300-600). I mean, it's a sheet of paper, envelope, stamp, and RSVP basically. It wasn't until I found this DIY that I finally had a possibility for what we were wanting to use for our invites, and I think they turned out great (for a DIY).  2 Invites could be made from 1 sheet of paper. I printed the actual invite on Vellum paper, and then put it over the card stock.  Here's what you need:  FREE Template 1 pack of 100 sheet Card Stock Paper-I got mine from Michaels because it was shimmery but not too blingy 1 pack of white vellum paper (I got mine at Staples) Ribbon in color of your choice Hole Puncher Scissors Half ...

Schoooooool's out. For. The summmmmerrrr!!  (sung like Alice Cooper, of course) Which is completely irrelevant to my life, but I feel like "summer break" should be an excuse to get some things done around the house that have been on the back burner since this little thing called a "wedding" was the main focus for the past year and a half. We've almost been in our new house for a year now come September, and besides our basic furniture and a few DIYs, the walls are still empty, and we don't have really anything going on in our guest bedroom (besides a bed-baby steps here!), or our study (looks strangely empty without all of our wedding crap!). I'm ready to organize, then re-organize, and organize some more! Thank goodness for my handy dandy pinterest board to keep all of my ideas for me. Trying to actually make use of it, instead of just thinking of it. Actions speak louder than pins, am I right?!  So far, only little touches have been adde...

Parden my absence lately; I've been sickly with sore throat, stuffy nose, and fever (complete with chills and aches!). I'm usually about due with one of these episodes around this time of year, so I'd rather get it done with now than have it during a time when I actually need to be feeling at my best.  Last week I finished a DIY project to decorate our bathroom with. I made two of these bathroom stands (and actually I did one a few months ago that I had been using but it had glitter on it and that just doesn't go with Robert's razor and his retainer-ha!), and it's really so easy and cheap! I found the idea on Pinterest aka the Land of the Awesome!  To Begin with, you'll need: 1. Plate (I picked one that had a lot of flat space so things would be level on there) 2. Candle Stand 3. Paint (which I already had-about $1 at Michael's) 4. Painting Utensil 5. Glue of some sort to glue the candle stick to the bottom of the plate (I used Gorilla...
