Shower accomplished! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves (with only minor captions, since I certainly can't keep my mouth completely shut).
I'll come back later in the week to give more detail about certain projects. Any requests? What shower details do you want to hear more about?
Pinterest is quite wonderful. It opens you up to an entire world of beautiful images and amazing resources. I love how you can click on most images and be brought straight to the source- you learn where to buy it, how to make it, or who created it. Sometimes, however, you come to a dead end when you REALLY want to find the source... like with this amazing image:
It just puts a smile on my face. I kind of love it. lots. but I have no idea where to get it- HELP! Any idea where to find it? who it's by? have you seen it somewhere else??
HELP!
I love it when small DIY projects actually go as planned, really DIY projects of any size. It's just fun when things work out the way you want, don't you think?
Well, I'm trying not to go too crazy with decorations for B's bridal shower on Sunday, but I really can't help myself. I think I missed my calling as an event planner. At the very least, I can't turn my designer brain off and I... must... make... it...all... pretty....
This is the room I have to work with (the clubhouse at the grooms parent's condo):
It's a little dark, a little formal, and generally in need of some pizazz.
I stopped at Michael's Arts & Crafts when I got home from work yesterday to get some supplies for some misc decorations. The first decoration project I tackled was circle garland.
Supplies:
Once I punched a bunch of circles, all I did was string them up (2 holes in each circle, like a button).
I taped it onto my banister just to see how it would work for the shower and it works like a charm! I did have to space the circles out after hanging, but I love the result. (I also had to enlist Hubby to entertain a playful bearcat who felt the need to paw at my garland. Beware of ferocious bearcats. Luckily there will be no bearcats at the shower.)
I love the way it looks, and I can already see it draped on the banister at the shower. Playful, bright, but still chic.
I wrapped it around a piece of cardboard and taped the ends so it won't tangle until it's big performance Sunday.
Successful, quick & easy DIY projects can really put a smile on your face.
