…& Hopefully You Luck Out With Nice Weather, Too!
If the clouds appear and it rains on your wedding day, don’t fret! They say rain is a sign of good luck. However, if you do luck out with gorgeous weather, imagine walking down an aisle of pretty little ribbons flowing in the wind…I love it.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Everyone!
…Bam! Just Like That?
Stuck? Me too. I haven’t finalized my sister’s shower decor details yet. I want to get crafty but I’m overwhelmed with ideas. Funny how one day, you’ve got nothing and the next day, your inspiration just flies through the door and knocks you over like a big gust of wind! Graceful, I am not. It’s ok, I’m back from falling off my chair to share these ideas with you…

This is just some of the inspiration that flew through my door and into my lap! Many of the items shown above are ones you can actually purchase if you wish to (I mean, maybe you’re just too busy to get crafty, right? I hear ya!). However, I bet if you looked closely enough you could find a way to create these beautiful decor pieces yourself. All you need is some creativity, patience, time and paper. Ok fine, maybe just a few other supplies too.
To see how to either purchase or create these items, click on the links below the pictures. If you need help along the way, just shout! I’m only a few keys away…we can try to figure it out together. You know, get our “creative juices” flowing. Good luck!
…Imagine The Possibilities!
Found today via Creature Comforts, this patterned tape is like a breath of fresh air, so I knew I had to share! With a variety of colors to choose from, imagine what you could use this for…come on crafty peeps ~ I know you have some ideas lurking in your heads! I love the fact that it can be pulled on and off without leaving residue to scrape off. Perfect!
Japanese Masking Tape from Ginko Papers:
“The tape is made with Japanese washi paper (a fabric like traditional paper) which has been coated. The masking tape is unique in that it can be pulled on and off numerous times and leaves no residue or paper tears.” – Ginko Papers

Love is…awesome. As is the photo above. It reminded me of a picture of my husband and I, which was not professionally taken but turned out pretty cool in itself! In fact, it’s one of our favorites…
