Heyyyy Girl!

Heyyyy Girl!

Heyyyy Girl!!!! I finally spotting one of the Taylor Swift UPS trucks! While wearing my special Taylor Swift Keds!!!! It was a complete nerd moment asking the random person to take my picture, sadly he didn't get the shoes in the shot. Ohhhh well. I still spotted one of Ms. Swifts new trucks. The only thing better would have been her actually showing up to any of my wedding festivities that I invited her to. Really, why didn't she respond to my "will you be my bridesmaid" delivery?!?

XOXO

HELP! Hot Glue Gun Recommendations

HELP! Hot Glue Gun Recommendations

Let me start by saying I'm a firm believer in the ability to make anything with visqueen, duct tape, and hot glue. Seriously, think about it, when in need with those 3 things you can fix pretty much anything.

That said, this weekends project (still not finished to share) has forced my hot glue gun into retirement. I know, it's a very sad day but I'm trying to look on the positive side and think about it as a much needed upgrade.

Congratulations Lizzy & Joey

Let me back up a bit before I tell you about the wedding I went to this weekend. The wedding in Detroit was hubs' cousin Lizzy. I'm rather forgetful so at sometime during the summer I wanted to mass order all the upcoming wedding gifts. Lizzy had mentioned at our wedding that she loved the garter football toss and would be copying that for hers. For whatever reason hubs didn't like the idea of sending a football, he wanted to send a crockpot. Fine, crockpot off the registray it's is. When Lizzy called to say thank you she mentioned to hubs that they found an old football in the garage and were going to use it for her garter toss. There it was, hubs had to admit that I was right and a football needed to be shipped out. Problem was that I was completely out of stock of all footballs thanks to the wrong item number being shipped to my house. These footballs has the white panels opposite the laces intease of stacked on one side of the laces. Hubs swore he liked it better with the writing on each side of the laces and begged me to make it that night. Fine, as long as I get to say 'I told you so' while I make it. It shipped out and I didn't really think anything more of it.

Congratulations Melanie & Bucky

When I was in graduate school I shared an apartment with Melanie and 2 other girls. I'm not the best with timely opportunities but this one fell in my lap perfectly. She had just posted a picture on social media announcing her engagement. Knowing first hand she is also a football fan, I knew exactly what I wanted to send for her a congratulations gift. I messaged her to say congratulations and let me know when they decided on a date and colors. Being an overachiever after my heart, she responded with a date and color. I was already working on a football for another couple who wanted the same color. I quickly edited the file to have Melanie's football produced at the same time so I could ship it the next morning. Then one day Melanie tagged me in her engagement pictures! The fact that she loved the gift so much that she incorporated it into her engagement session completely took me back to sharing an apartment with such a sweet group of girls. Thank you to Giddy & Gold for letting us share these beautiful engagement pictures.
