You're BUGGIN! {PT 2 for Naketa}

So... about that God-awful ant bite I had. It went down in about three days. That bite was almost a month ago and you can still see where the bite was. AND there's dry, peeling skin around it. I won't take a pic because you wouldn't be able to see it. It really sucks because lotion doesn't even help it. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles!

Flower Power Continued

In less than an hour, I'll be meeting with the florist at Always Floral. I'm so excited. Well, I'm not sure what to expect, but we'll see. Here are the bridesmaids bouquets that I'll be showing her.

{This bouquet could be found at this wedding.}

{IDK where 3/4 of these flowers came from. If you know, feel free to leave a comment and let me know}

I hope this goes well! Guess I should go take a shower now! lol

Flower Power

Friday I have an appointment with a potential florist! YAY! I will be meeting with Always Floral. This is great, right? WRONG! I don't know anything about flowers. Really don't care for them. I just know that I really want this bouquet:

Or something similar. You can see some of my flower ideas here. You're probably wondering what's the big problem?! Well... the problem is that I don't know/care what kind of bouquets I want for the bridal party! So, I'm thinking... if they have navy dresses {which that's the plan}, they can have some kind of green flower with some white to POP. The florist wants me to bring pictures with me Friday, so I guess I have to get on it finding inspiration. I've been trying, but I get bored with this whole flower search! Hopefully I'll find SOMETHING by then. Wish me luck.

A Piece in the Center

As we all know, I want to do a lot {kinna} of DIY stuff! My venue has centerpieces to choose from, but I don't think they are exactly what I'm looking for. I haven't seen all of them that they have, but I know I won't like them. lol. While looking for vases, I stumbled on Dollar Tree's website. So, I stumbled to their vases. Then... BAM! I saw a vase that I liked AND a whole dang centerpiece!!!

I LOVE this simple centerpiece! It's so simple, elegant, and a little fun! These flowers are called gladiolus. Hopefully they will be in season and they can be green or something! lol. I also like the way the roses looked. I just think roses are real common at weddings and that's not what I want.

Owww, after posting this, I found the flower in green! I plan to start looking for a florist tomorrow!

You Coming?!

I don't recall if I mentioned this before, but I want to make my own invitations. I also wanted to design them. {I do have a friend doing a design or border, too. Just in case I don't like mine.} I think I have it down. All I want to do is change the font, per KP's request, and that should be all. I downloaded the trial Adobe Illustrator, and since then, I've been on a mission to get it complete in the 30 days provided! lol. I have pictures of the invitation I'm using for inspiration and my invite draft.

This is the front cover, with a belly band made of ribbon. I plan to use navy blue card stock and lime ribbon.

The ribbon holds the RSVP card and any other cards in place.

The actual invitation is on the opposite side.

I like how it's like a little book. Here's my invitation so far. {Names and other info taken out.}

I'm pretty proud of myself. Babe likes it, too! What do you all think?!

You're BUGGIN!!!

Monday night, I was sleep. I was awaken out of my sleep because my finger was BURNING!!! I got up to see if I'd some way cut myself or anything. I didn't see anything. I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't because my finger was BURNING! I had to rub it so it wouldn't burn until I fell asleep. The next day, I see that it was AN ANT BITE!!! Yesterday, I called myself doing surgery, trying to pop the little bump and now my finger is super swollen. I'm pissed cause it looks a hot mess! Take a look:

I'm Catching Hell

I'm WIDE AWAKE at 12:28am trying to design my invitations in my newly downloaded Adobe Illustrator trial! lol. I have 3o days to get this right. {I plan on purchasing it...maybe.} So, I have all of my wording in there, but I can't figure out how to make a pretty design! AND I can't figure out how to get a picture of it on here without having all of our personal info showing. I hate that! I'm determined to figure this mess out! I refuse to be defeated by technology! I guess I'll have to get it tomorrow because I think I want to get in bed and finish watching fine Shamar Moore on Criminal Minds! Someone, PLEASE HELP me figure out Illustrator before I lose my mind!
