It's pumpkin time
Since I am homeowner now, I feel that I am required to keep a pretty wreath and/or decoration on my front door. So far, my collection consists of a pretty summer wreath and now this beautiful fall basket thing. We've already designated a spot in the attic to keep these pretty items so that I can pull them out with every change of the season.

Bird house!
My beautiful and talented friend Lisa Brown provided me with inspiration the other day. Actually here's the chain of events: Lisa posts a picture of a birdhouse she painted on Facebook, I comment on the photo, Lance sees my comment on Lisa's photo and suggests that I paint a birdhouse, I paint a birdhouse.
Here is the finished product!
I used to do arts & crafts stuff all the time...and then I grew up, got a Master's degree and started a career in Accounting. Yayyyyy, adult life rocks! But for real, once this whole wedding thing is over and before I move on to making babies, I hope to rekindle my artsy side.

Nail Envy
In an effort to "use" my own nails for the wedding, I bought OPI Nail Envy to strengthen my nails. I've been trying to grow them out, but every time my nails get long and pretty they start to break.
I'm not sure how long it will take, or if it will even work, but here is the before picture (and a nice shot of the bling bling) with the first coat of Nail Envy:
Hopefully there will be an "after" shot for this story!!

Wedding planning update
Yet again, I have failed in blogging duties. I guess I get wrapped up in reading everyone else's blog, that I forget to write in my own. Every morning before I begin "working" I have a daily ritual. I check Southern Savers, Saving Your Cents, and my friend's blog Married Filing Joint. Every morning. My friend Kathryn is a great blogger and I aspire to be like her one day. Maybe after all of this wedding planning fun is all over with, I can focus on the blog.
The wedding to-do list is slowly becoming shorter. I've ordered invitations, twice. The original invitations say 4:30 p.m. and the new ones will say 5:00 p.m. This was not due to an error on the print shop's behalf. It was due to my crazy, yet wonderful, Mimi who convinced me to change it to 4:30 to begin with and then decided we should have stayed with 5:00. The only good part about this is that I will have 150 seals to put on the peanut brittle wedding favor bags. Trying to think positive here.
I did some research on the marriage license, and I found out some great news!! If we can provide documentation on our marriage counseling, we will only have to pay $16 compared to the normal rate of $58. I feel sort of guilty trying to get a deal on our marriage license, but hey, you gotta cut costs some way.
So invitations, wedding favors, guest book (oh I love it!), DJ, wedding music, flowers, dresses, tuxes..all that is taken care of. Oh, and the honeymoon! Lance and Callie will be leaving on Sunday, November 21 for a 7 day Caribbean cruise. Very excited about this!!
Our engagement photos turned out better than expected. I will get the entire DVD of pictures tonight, and I can't wait to see the rest. I will post the ones that I love the most on my next post. But for now, here is my favorite thus far...
Oh, and I'm looking for ideas on my hair. I have this idea of getting a messy up do sort of to the side so that my pretty pretty flower will stick right in. But for now, this is the best idea that I can find.
Ok, that's it for now. More wedding planning to happen this weekend so I'll be sure to post again soon!!
