Why I haven't had a life for the last two weekends . . .

Here's why I have been getting up early on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

A lot of sewing . . .

And a lot of paper crafting (is that what making invitations from scratch is called??) . . .

A couple weekends ago Mama and I spent a crazy Saturday hunting down this fabric:

Who knew everyone and their mother was into green toile besides us?? We went to three different fabric stores, one all the way out in CR (a little road trip for us), just to round up enough of the stuff. Here is how the story ended: two women in an SUV with a new touch screen phone and GPS that we didn't know how to work = we got lost!! What a night!

Here is what transpired the next morning and the rest of the day . . . .

Preppy "Wild Cat" decided she would join us.

Mama spent an afternoon ironing . . .

And I learned to sew! Yay!

The weekend after that was dedicated to paper and putting together our invitations.

We were prepared for a looonngg weekend as you can see. Yum, Sloppy Joe fixin's and Puppy Chow! So much for that dress fitting coming up! :)

Everybody pitched in.

Even FOTB had fun "scrapbooking" with us! He was actually a BIG help and designed part of the invitation :)

We also had some assistance from my Nana and Aunt and Uncle L (PS- Uncle L totally got into it!)

We had so much paper stuff going on we needed a map!

Here's to another weekend of rolling out of bed, hair in a pony and headband! But it's all been worth it :)H
