Cake topper DIY.

One of our dear couple friends got married this month, and we couldn't be more excited for them!  J was the best man, and the groom was J's best man in our wedding, too.  I've so loved getting to know J's best bud and watching him fall in love has been so fun.  And the best news? They're moving close, well, closer, to us!  They had a small, intimate ceremony at the groom's parents' house that was absolutely gorgeous.  It was the most beautiful day and the event was just perfect.  I wish I had taken more pictures. 

I created our wedding cake topper for our wedding after falling in love with a personalized one on Etsy that was way out of our price range.  This couple asked me to make one like ours for their wedding, so of course I said yes!  I love any excuse to get my craft on.  

 

I can't really say I had a plan.  I just bought some fabric/ribbon that I thought would work and got my glue gun ready.  I'm not much of a seamstress, so the glue gun is my BFF.  

Congrats B+K! We love you!

At the moment.

don't worry, i'm still here! ... just lacking in the posting department and rocking in the living it up department.  here's to catching up!

:: Obsessing over...

summer clothes.  no hair dryer. little or no make-up.  no ironing.  peeing when i please. 

:: Working on... 

curriculum writing for next year.  overwhelming, but sometimes it's good to have a little challenge.  inspired, but exhausted of this stuff!

:: Thinking about...

planning a vacation... for next year.  summer break is just too fun. 

:: Anticipating...

girl talk. this weekend, i get to catch up with some of my old roommates, and a good, good friend who is coming into town for a few days. can. not. wait.  oh, and it's father's day, and i'll get to see my dad, too! (what should i get him?!)

:: Listening to...

E! News.  i need to grow up.

:: Munching on... 

that's a salad i whipped up for dinner for one tonight, and it actually turned out good! (that doesn't happen often).  it's baked tilapia atop a bed of spinach, grilled corn, red pepper, fresh cilantro (from our garden!), flax chips, jalapenos and sour cream. whoa.

:: Thankful for...

my DF family.  after the DF reunion last weekend, i realize how lucky i am to have such wonderful teachers, mentors, friends and family who have supported my love of dance.  as our teacher stated, it was dance that brought us together, but really, it's about way more than that.  i must say, it was kind of scary showing up to the reunion after 8 years.  would anyone remember me? would anyone talk to me? maybe i'm just a nervous freak, but it was intimidating!  it was one of the most fun and refreshing weekends in a long while. 

hope you all are having a good week!
