Signs and Shenanigans

First off, Holy Cow it's cold! Like windchill below freezing cold and sleet last night before bed cold. Perfect day to stay inside and...work on some wedding signs! Too bad I have work during the day though. 

I've always been into the calligraphy/handwriting/art thing. I used to take art lessons in middle school, and at one point had a calligraphy and paint set. Things kind of shifted and I focused in another direction in the athletic world, so I never really got to "fine tune" anything. And then chalkboards and chalkboard signs became a "thing," Pinterest blew up, I got engaged, started gathering signs and practicing, and Devon caught wind and then asked me to do her wedding signs, and so sparked a hobby that was once long gone.

One side of the drink menu and supper menu (Babe's Chicken, mmm!)

Now the struggle is finding something that I like for April. I kinda started several but lost focus on what type of colors and look I was really going for. I have all of the sayings in my mind, but most of it's jumbled all together and I can't make up my mind (siiiigh). Some of you may have seen the sneak peak I posted a few days ago regarding one of the bigger signs that I found at First Monday in Canton:


I'm most excited about this one, because it's going to be a focal point of our guests before our guests get to go sit (may have just given away the saying).  Now if I can only find matching shimmer sharpies in the colors I need besides gold, that'd be great. If you need signs, or know anyone that needs signs done, I'd be more than happy to get some practice in! The colored markers can be washed off so it's not anything permanent on the boards. I think I'm also going try out Christmas/Holiday themed signs. Those are always fun and can be re-usable each year! Might post a separate post one for all of those, some are still in progress, but have been entertaining to say the least in the improvising department (old eye make up brush works JUST fine on some things!) 


HO HO HO!

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country.  Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands. Robert's ring looks so good against his ...

Happy 2015!

Cheers to the New Years! Hope it was lovely and celebratory and filled with lots of hopes and motivations for this upcoming 2015. I know this year is going to be the best one YET! We spent our New Years at a friends house, who had a great set up (including a DIY photo booth) and festive decorations! Plus a champagne-tasting contest, so we got to try a lot of different kinds of bubbly!  The best is yet to come! And it's so true. Each chapter that we embark on as a human being brings a new day and a new goal and new "best" days. When I was in high school, it was all about graduation it being the "best day," then we got to my 21st birthday, then my college graduation, then one of many relationship's anniversary, then getting my first big girl job and then turning 25, then to being proposed to, and now my next "best day" will be April 11, 2015. And from there on it keeps on and on. Isn't that exciting?  Each day I'm workin...

Yummy in my Tummy

Hope everyone had a great weekend! 'Tis the season for Friends-giving, Thanksgiving, Sweater Parties, and Christmas! We are finally getting to the part of the year where just about everything weekend from now until the end of the year is filled with some sort of activity. Last weekend we had a Friends-giving, and this weekend we had a birthday, a friendly get together, and a REAL Thanksgiving. Fortunately I only had to bring dessert, and figured I'd share a super easy dessert item that I've made 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Normally at Thanksgiving at my Parent's house I am in charge of the dessert items. I can cook just about anything, but desserts and baking are NOT my specialty, so it's a good time to practice. These don't have a "real" name, so I call them Oreo Funfetti Cake Bars, and I found the recipe on Pinterest. Robert and I LOVE Oreos (more like addicted...) and this was right up my alley of ease. What you'll need: -2 packages...
