Wedding Favors

So I wanted to keep favors as affordable as possible and still be something our guests would enjoy. I saw this cute idea of two rocks with the word Love inscribed but they were costly. So then I thought what else goes with rocks? Rock candy! Therefore I found some bulk rock candy off "Oh! Nuts" and for about $75 I received 120 sticks wrapped. I then purchased some ribbon for the bow and went on to Vista Print and made my catchy labels... Love Rocks!






Enjoy :)

Hello old friends

It's been so long since my last post. Time has just been flying by like one of those broken records that doesn't stop spinning! I watched the movie the other night Julie and Julia...I loved it! It was really inspiring publish a blog that people can follow and be interested in and want to check in every day and see what's new! So lately I have been thinking I want to change my blog but to what? I love a little bit of everything so it's hard to pinpoint. I don't know I will give it some more time but any suggestions would be a great help! I enjoy: reading, running, crafting, photography, painting, and the list goes on.

Thanks for your help!

Always,
Vanessa

Wedding Card Box

Well I needed a box for my gift cards at my upcoming wedding. I had this old box that was just for decoration and I didn't know what to do with it until now! I forgot to take a before picture but basically it looked the same except it was just black ribbon tied in a bow.

Here is after I jazzed it up!

I removed the old black ribbon and replaced with a purple ribbon

 and ivory on top with a silk flower all attached by hot glue.
