My sister is getting married, I just a couple weeks in fact. And we all know what comes with weddings.
Bridal showers. Lots of them. I think my sister had 7. Or maybe 8.
Luckily, as I am not particularly one to get super excited over weddings or anything wedding related, I was not asked to attend all seven, just two. One hosted by my cousin and aunts. Apparently it is "tradition" for your godmother to host your bridal shower...who knew? Also? If that's true, I am in trouble if I ever get married. My godmother is my aunt (ex-aunt?) who used to be arrived to my uncle (my dad's brother), who isn't anymore. She is sweet, but also...eclectic. And I can't imagine her attending a bridal shower, let alone hosting one.
But my sister's godmother is quite lovely (also, normal) and hosted a lovely shower for my sister. Complete with take home recipe books that she collected from guests prior to the shower (although not from me, I totally spaced out and forgot to send her anything...whoops). Luckily, my sister's other bridesmaids are much more into all things bride and wedding and put together a lovely shower for my sister.
Like I said, the wedding date is fast approaching, so there will be more wedding mania to come. Complete with photos of my dress. Which is taffeta. And fuschia. And has a flower on it.
And if the idea if me in that doesn't just make you beyond curious, then you clearly have no sense of humor.

Crafty Tuesday: Placemats
It should be clear by now that I am a lover of ALL things personalized. Seriously...if I had the time (and a big enough machine!) I would personalize EVERYTHING. And because of that, I seem to feel the overwhelming need to personalize things for other people too. Maybe they also love all things personalized and maybe they don't, but most people are gracious gift receivers, so if they don't want their name on things as a gift, they have been kind enough not to say so. At least so far....
My sister is getting married and she (I hope think) is also a lover of all things personalized. Which makes gift giving for her pretty easy...at least for now. For Christmas I made her some placemats with her soon to be last name.
I don't mind saying, I LOVE the way they turned out!

Crafty Tuesday: Hangers
As I mentioned last Thursday, my sister is getting married. She is a teacher, so is planning on a July wedding before school starts again in August. She made these adorable personalized hangers for all of the people that she asked to be in the bridal party...how cute is this?!

Congrats!
I've said it before, but I will say it again. For so many reasons, I have the world's most amazing coworkers. They are, without a doubt, the most kind, caring, supportive, intelligent, loving and fabulous people around.
One of the big bummers about working in health care is that there is never a time when everyone is off. We are open every single minute of every single day, and that means that there are always people who can't come to events. That's a bummer, but we all know that's how it goes...
A few weeks ago one of my coworkers got married. She had a Sunday evening wedding, which was a first for me. She also had a reception without alcohol, which was another first. And she had Elvis, which was perhaps the biggest first of all.
No. Really.
Her dad dressed up like Elvis and sang. For an hour.
But the wedding was gorgeous -- and we all wish them nothing but the best as they start their married life!
