Love Hanger

A little surprise gift for Ashley :)

I had seen hangers like this on-line and at Michael's.
But I am to thrifty to pay the price that they are charging.
So what is a crafty person (with no time on their hands) to do…..but make one of course.

So I grabbed a hanger out of my closet (Wayne doesn't need the jacket that was hung from it ;) )
I then pried the wood bar off.
It was quite easy, as it was just held on with a very tiny nail.

I did pick up this thicker wire from the dollar store.

I then shaped the word "Love" out of the wire.

A little trick…I added thin wire (I took the wire from a tiny flower bunch, you could also take apart a twist tie and use that wire) and wrapped it around the bottom of the "L" and the top of the "O".

The reason is, I wanted them to touch so there wouldn't be a gap where these letters touched.

Lastly I used a nail to hammer in a tiny hole for the wired ends to be inserted.

I then added a tad of glue and there you have it…a hanger for her wedding dress.

I think this will look pretty for the photos :)

I hope you all had a very creative day.

I will be up bright and early to help decorate the venue.

Luckily they got it a day early to decorate….this will (hopefully) lessen the stress for Friday!!!!

More wedding prep.

More wedding preparations :)

I was at Ashleys most of the day and evening yesterday working on wedding preparations.

I totally completed the all of the bridal bouquets :)

I also did quality control on all of the wooden centrepieces.

I had completed the centrepieces quite a while ago, but I wanted to check them over to make sure everything was 100%

Then when Ashley came home from work, we worked on adding the moss, greenery and they flowers to the centrepieces.

We just added one of the table numbers we had made earlier to see the length of stick we needed.
Not sure why we picked table number 11 though, teehee.

I hope you all had a very creative Day…..tomorrow I am hoping to work on the Guest book

Dress Alterations Complete

I have been busy making alterations to my dress for the wedding.

Alterations as in resizing it at least 2 sizes smaller.
I found this pretty dress to wear to my daughter, Ashley's wedding.
It didn't come in my size, so with the help of my SIL Darlene, we worked our magic and altered it to fit me perfectly :)
So happy that it is complete…now to look for shoes.

Yesterday was Ashley's birthday, today is my Father in Law's birthday and tomorrow my birthday.
Lots of cake eating this week ;)
Because I have been so busy these last few weeks, it wasn't until we were practically heading out the door to my FIL's house that I remembered I didn't make him a card.
So I went in my stash and picked out a card that had a more masculine feel to it.
I really need to make some generic and masculine cards when I have time.

The last few day's I haven't even tuned on my laptop until after 9:00pm…I think next week I need a computer day, just to catch up on emails, blogs and Facebook, lol.

I hope you all had a very Creative day today :)

I have to say a big Congrats to my daughter Heather….

She passed her test for her G licence, so she has her full licence now :)
We celebrated with an ice-cream :)
Don't you just love the purple in her hair!!!

Another day full of wedding prep.

See all of those flowers….some of them were put to making the wedding bouquets.
Ashley wanted the bridal party's bouquets to look like they were picked straight from the field with quite a bit of greenery.
I will tell you it was harder to achieve this look than you would think, lol.
After 4 days of me playing around with different arrangements, I think we finally nailed it :)
For Ashley's bouquet she wanted it similar to the girls bouquets but with a touch of her wedding colours.
But as we were putting her bouquet together, we got a bit carried away when adding the flowers, lol.
Ashley kept asking me if it was too big. I told her you only get married once, go big, lol.
If I had my way, I would have made it into a cascading bouquet, teehee.

I hope you all had a very Creative Day :)

More Wedding Prep.

Still working on wedding projects.
I have a feeling we will be working on project up until the day of the wedding.

The bad thing is…we keep adding more to our lists, lol.

Luna doesn't look to impressed here does she.
She is watching me work out, lol.
I thought she looked so cute, I just had to snap a photo :)

How can you tell Ashley was home today…her socks were left on the floor, lol.

I have been so busy that I haven't been on the internet hardly at all.
I didn't turn on my computer today until after supper today…crazy I tell ya.
I try to visit you all every day, but am a bit behind..hoping to catch up soon.

I hope you all had a very Creative day :)
