Activity for Shannon Giraffes.

Phew it's been a busy 2 weeks. The wedding itself went off with minimal issues. It went by way too fast. I think the only thing that went wrong was the amount of no-shows!! We had 180 confirmed (this was of course including people that said they...

I'm really happy to have one more DIY checked off my list, now I only have a gazillion more to go, but each one is a labor of love. I made it out of three paper mache boxes that I painted white then layered with lace. After which, I just added the...

Is it a good idea to make a card box or buy one from ebay or amazon or somewhere? I found a lovely one on the internet for $65 but I don't know if I could make one cheaper

Paul, my future husband, used my Nana's diamond and band, had it melted down, reshaped, and added diamonds around the side to make petals for my flower ring. He designed it himself and it's so perfect for me. I love that he took my Nana's hammered...

Favors?? Mine are 2 piece favor boxes with candy on the inside. What candy shall I put inside?

So, I'm kinda dumb when it comes to flowers. I very strongly considered not having ANY except 1 small bouquet for me, which I would end up tossing later. I finally decided to have SOME. My own bouquet is a combination of white calla lillies and...

Are y'all doing a wedding favor? What are you doing if so? I can't decide!

Here's a picture of my dress. I unfortunately forgot to get a pic of me in my veil and headpiece (the veil is just past shoulder length, and the headpiece is a jeweled headband, no fancy jeweling on it. just sparkly) I'm at a loss for what type of...

Went to get manicure today and was noticing some of the women’s nail choices and made me think of what I’m going to do with my nails for our vow renewal next year. Today I got a bright red, but not sure if I want to get a bright color like that, or a...

FH and I finally got a baby! Well at least with fur baby :3 We have been missing a little extra something in our lives for a while and I have been going on and on about wanting a fur baby. He finally caved and we got Katara, originally Figaro but we...

After reading that post yesterday about what your engagement ring (cut of the diamond) says about you, and seeing that marquise was not even mentioned, and then posting something to that effect, I was surprised that no one else piped up. I know I am...

bridesmaid dresses

I'm so excited to finally be able to post a pic of my shoes. Ordered them yesterday and they shipped. So excited. Anywho, here's my dress and shoes. No pics of me in my dress yet. It's being made and started in January. Let me see yours

Unfortunately I don't have a picture to share with you all, but I went and had my makeup done at Sephora yesterday. I wanted to do a trial run, just to see if the products they use there would really last ALL day for me. I don't plan to spend that...

I've made some decisions that I feel don't follow proper "wedding etiquette" guidlines. And the funny thing is? I don't even feel bad (at least not for most of them) I did not block off any hotels for OOT guests. I asked someone to be a BM because I...
