billy balls! or craspedia if you prefer. i did all the flowers for the wedding, which is why i chose something very simple. i bought them bulk from fiftyflowers.com. i ordered 400 of them!!
some things we made: bridesmaid’s bouquet, boutonnieres and my bouquet!
my sister/maid of honor working on our favors. our favors were shot glasses printed with our names, date and a little bride and groom logo. we put yellow m&m’s in the glass and tied it up with tulle.
my nephews got to try on their little tuxes
we made a mess, but it was all worth it!
just got some flowers from work for free! gonna test out the wedding ideas!
thanks to a random post by one of my favorite blogs young house love, i got inspired to convert the two toilets in our house to dual flush tanks and i got mike to do it for me! the conversion kit was cheap and installation was easy. and it’s nice to know we’re saving money and conserving water and we don’t have to do anything special to do it.

favorite halloween decoration so far.
current project: laundry room update
after a few weeks of planning on fixing up our little laundry “room” (more like laundry closet) mike and i finally did it! woo hoo! after getting the materials we needed it only took a few hours to upgrade the space. here’s it is before:
and below the sink:
not so pretty, huh? but add some magic eraser to the walls, a little bit of color and some smarter shelves and here’s our after:
i cleaned up the walls, bought a few things from target and mike installed the shelves and towel racks. to hide the crap under the sink i sewed up a little curtain to cover it all:
and mike put up hooks to hold our broom and mop (so they don’t touch the floor) and towels racks for me, so now we have a place to hang clothes that can’t go in the dryer:
all in all i think it was a very successful “remodel”. i think we spent around $150 for everything and 3 hours fixing it up. now doing laundry will be that much more fun, right?
