deck the halls with...



Last night I went on the hunt for my elusive ribbon... You see in making my invitations I stumbled on this awesome offset black and white plaid ribbon that just laid PERFECT on the invitations and wouldn't you know that I had only grabbed one spool of it and when I went back to Michaels they were out. Life is just not fair sometimes! So, last night I went hunting. I went to the Everett Michaels, I went to Jo-Annes, I went to Pacific Fabrics and NO LUCK. so on a whim I went back to the original Lynnwood Michaels and guess what! they had restocked! I bought every spool they had! wohoo!

The most fun for me however was walking into said Michaels and realizing that they were playing.....

CHRISTMAS MUSIC!

for reals.

My dad the holiday purist would be complaining to the manager about how it isn't even halloween and then it isn't even thanksgiving.... and on and on. I however did a little jig because it means it's even closer to our wedding! yeah!

I also came to the realization that I am trendy wendy herself. The Christmas things they had out are our wedding in a nutshell. Dark and pure reds, lots of greens, and a tiny bit of chartruese to keep it interesting! all while looking rich and regal. Oh Michaels I do love you.


this is the exact wedding colors, sorry the picture isn't great but the beads are my EXACT colors! Melissa I'm going to go MAD!!!
love the fruit. LOVE the shimmer!


ummmm, have they been listening to my conversations with Mellissa? Just wondering.


love the funky green and the shimmer is AWESOME! oooh candlelight and shimmer! good combo!

greens and berries. gotta love it.


the worst picture ever but the best garland I've EVER seen. Pine cones, pomogranates, apples, pointsettias, wanted to wear it out like a boa.
there's my hint of chartuese! ;)
