DIY Bride-zilla - ROAR!

Yeah yeah, I forgot the link again.  But yesterday I posted on Weddzilla about my little DIY meltdown, and it's actually quite amusing (if I do say so myself)!

Go check it out, and leave me some comments - I haven't really been feeling the love from anyone other than my Aunt lately, lol!

Shower Me Baby!

In my Weddzilla Post from yesterday (I know, I know, I'm the worst at remembering to link to it) I talked all about my recent Bridal Shower and showed off how I got my DIY skills from my Mom, lol...enjoy!

Sorry I've Been Quasi MIA

But life has been nutty lately!  Seriously, I feel like I'm losing my mind - way too busy!  And, I didn't even get seriously started on my invitations last weekend so this weekend I have a date with a 4-pack of redbull, my cricut, and my printer!

But anyway, it looks like Weddzilla is finally getting back into the swing of things, and my post about my shoes went live today - you can find it here!

I also had my first fitting this past Monday, so I promise to be back soon with a post about that!  Don't hate me...life is just too busy right now!

Weddzilla Monday - Late Again!

Yeah, yeah - we all know I suck at remembering to link to my Weddzilla posts on the days that they go live!  But this one is really cool (if I do say so myself), it's about the paper flower pomander topiaries (yeah, say that five times fast) I made over the weekend.  And it can be found here!

And look, even Gabby tried to help out...

Personal Photo - She only likes to have her "good side"
photographed, she won't look straight at the camera!

Why do I always forget to do this!?!

I forgot to link to my Weddzilla post yesterday, and it's a pretty awesome one...

It's about making stand-alone shepherd hooks to hang my lovely ribbon flower poms off of, and it can be found here!

I never have to make another ribbon flower again...

And thank goodness for that!  Good golly was that a tedious task, but, I'm officially done making ribbon flowers and they have been transformed into pomanders!  Seeing that it's Monday, you can read all about it (and see my lovely creations) on Weddzilla...Happy Memorial Day!

Progress Photos!!!

I've officially completed the first 2 months of Turbo Fire - woohoo!

I didn't feel ready to take photos after the first month, but I did take measurements, and here's the change from May 1st to today:

	5-1-11	5-25-11
Chest	34	33
Right Arm	10.5	10
Left Arm	11	10.25
Waist	28.5	28
Hips	36	35.5
Right Thigh	21	20.5
Left Thigh	22	20.5

Not too bad, if I do say so myself!  Luckily, I did take pictures on the day I first started Turbo Fire, which was March 19th (not March 11, like it says in one of the pictures...I'm just too lazy to go change it, hahaha) and here are my before and afters (so far, that is):

You can't really see that big of a change, except for in my back!  Apparently kickboxing rocks out your back muscles!  And you can see that I got another tattoo, lol.  That would be my lovely Gabby's pawprint!

My post for Weddzilla today isn't going up until 9 pm, so I probably won't link to it until tomorrow.  But if you're just dying to read it, I'm sure you can figure out how to find it on your own!

Big Fat DIY Fail...

It has officially happened.  I 100% failed at making tissue paper pomanders.  Even my cat was ashamed of them.  But, while Charles the cat teased me about my massive DIY failure I came up with a new idea...and you can read all about it on Weddzilla!  Happy Monday all!

Help Me Decide on Pocketfolds!

I'm being indecisive about how to finish my DIY pocketfolds...and I hate being indecisive.

But since it is Weddzilla Wednesday, you can see what I've narrowed it down to here!

And, don't forget to enter yourself in my give-away (on this post)

Yesterday's Weddzilla Post

...just a little late (again)!

I made some serious progress on my Pearl Bouquet this weekend, and you can read and see it here!

Belated Weddzilla Wednesday!

Sorry guys, I forgot to post the link yesterday!  My post can be found here!

Its about being a bride with tattoos, and how to compromise with my mom who would prefer I cover them with make-up for the wedding.  In case you didn't realize, I have quite a few tats - you can see my largest one in my before and after pictures here!

I've been at it again...

And by "at it" I mean being an overly-visual-borderline-crazy DIY bride-to-be...

And since it's Monday, you can read all about it on Weddzilla (but you already knew that, didn't you?)

Engagement Pictures!

So, Bryan and I had our engagement photos taken last August, and I'm just finally getting around to posting about them!

I don't know if you've caught on yet, but it's Wednesday, so you can read my post on Weddzilla!

SUPER DIY BRIDE TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!!

So, I got about a million things done this weekend...and since it's Monday you can read all about it on Weddzilla!

...is it seriously only Monday?

Weddzilla Wednesday!

Today I posted on Weddzilla and you can find it here.
I would also like to take this time to point out the different pages of my blog! Directly above the "about me" section there are tabs for "Countdown to the Big Day" (which has a countdown as well as some pretty awesome timelines/calendars), "Completed DIYs" (pictures of my completed projects with links to the post about them) and "Favorite Etsy Sales" (just pictures of projects that I've done for other people that I really like). You should go check them out!

Oh, and Happy Wednesday...just two more days of work until the weekend!

Weddzilla Wednesday...Just a little late...

Sorry y'all, I forgot to post the link to my Weddzilla post yesterday!  It can be found here!

Weddzilla Wednesday Part 1

So, I had asked the Weddzilla editor if I could do some posts beyond my normal twice weekly posting basically giving people a chance to ask me any DIY related questions, and the first "Ask the DIY Bride" post went live earlier today, and can be found here!

You still have to wait until later to see my lovely layouts though, sorry...

Why Do I Ever Stop Working Out Consistently????

Seriously...I'm such a happier person when I'm working out regularly.  I feel better, I have more energy throughout the day, I'm far less stressed out.  Why on Earth do I ever stop working out?  Well the easy answer is because I get lazy, or busy, or whatever.  But next time I start a Fitness Recap Friday with "not too much to recap today" or if I skip it completely, will someone give me a virtual-blog-slap?  Just be like "woman, get off your ass - you like life a lot more when you workout regularly!"

That's really all I have to say for now.  It's Weddzilla Wednesday and once my post goes up I'll be sure to point you all in that direction.  Just so you have something to look forward to, it's about my sexy layouts for my whole wedding.  As we get closer to the big day, it's getting easier and easier to visualize what everything is going to look like...eeek!

Oh, and just because this is on my calendar and every time I see it I kind of chuckle (not sure why, I just find it hilarious) I'll share it with you...gotta love my Bad Dogs Calendar:

hahahahahaha - Picture from Bad Dogs Calendar
