Hi! I'm Tina an older second time around bride who is a crazy cat lady, adores vintage anything, and loves to bake because it relaxes me. I'm a full time single mom to two boys and soon to be step mom to another! I am so happy to have met my best friend who I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with!

Happily married 🎉

Welcome sign all finished! Let's see yours!
Tina in Do It Yourself, on January 29, 2019 at 6:32 PM

Tina in Do It Yourself, on February 14, 2019 at 5:30 PM

I am making all the boutonnieres and corsages for FH and specific family members. I was always under the impression that boutonnieres look different than corsages, but how? More flowers, different...
