Exciting news everyone...I'm ENGAGED!!! Crazy stuff, right? It happened the same day I last blogged- and I figured I'd post on here what I've accomplished so far & share the ring for those of you who may not see it on facebook! I'm such a lucky girl- Curt designed the ring himself- the one I had wanted wasn't available anymore, and he didn't really like similar ones, so he designed the setting & picked out each diamond- so I have a one-of-a-kind ring, which makes it even more special!

| Wow! It's hard to take a good picture of a ring!!! |
And for months now I've had a vision of creating a little surprise to ask my friends if they'd be a bridesmaid in my wedding. I got the idea from pinterest, not going to lie- but I only saw one pin, and whoever had put the present together was much more crafty & had more money to work with than I. But I still wanted something fun- you only get to do this once! So I bought some cheap, fun, colorful leis, mini plastic martini glasses, and then a bag to put them in....and below are the results! I wrote the bridesmaid's name on the "glass" and thought we could wear them for the bachelorette party-hows that for thinking ahead ;)

This whole project cost maybe $15, then the money to mail them to 4 different states-luckily they are light!
And I couldn't leave the flower girl out, so I improvised hers a little bit, and to personalize hers cost an additional $1- TOTAL for 6 bridesmaids & 1 flower girl, plus postage- LESS than $25!!!
 |
| Perfect for a 4 year old girl, right? |
 |
| Bought a flower-mirror party favor for 25 cents & added her name to it- a flower for the flower girl!!! |
Now here's hoping I can continue on my creative ways to help keep costs contained...but I'm soooo excited to do more crafty things!
I tried 3 new recipes this past week too, so I will promise to try and post those on here soon! If I don't before the weekend, hope you all enjoy the long weekend with Memorial Day & kick off summer on a great note :)
