Laid Back Farm Wedding

This is how you do a wedding ladies and gents. Laid back, on a farm and surrounding by your closest friends and family. This wedding was set on the Groom's families farm/land. Such a beautiful landscape.

My cute mom & dad. 

The bride painted this!

(As you can tell by that date, this post is LONG overdue)

The lonely solider in the shade is my lovely mother. She was so hot & I don't blame her{it was a scorcher}.

Ah here she comesssss....

The beautiful Bride and her father. {stunning}

A ladder was hanging horizontal over the buffet with hanging vases. Such a neat idea!

Loved her centerpieces! They can reuse the boxes for organizing!

DIY ring toss. {so crafty she is}

 

So intense, if you couldn't tell. Backyard giant jenga = genius. 

The bride in her beautiful dress breakin' it down! Get it gurrrll.

Sorry for the much delayed post, but I've been a busy bee planning my own wedding! AH!

Baby Gender Reveal

Having a gender reveal party?

Here's a different idea than the typical cut the cake reveal.

A good friend in my office was finding out what she was having today! I work with all women, so of course we were all so excited and just as antsy as her. Since it's around the holidays and we have cookies and treats galore in our breakroom; I wanted to do something besides a cake for her. 

I found this lady that took old chenille bedspreads and made stuffed animals out of them for kids. My friend has a Westie dog, so I thought this was PERFECT! 

I tied a blue and pink bow around the neck of the dog and came up with this little rhyme. 

Now that you have healthy baby Kunz (their last name) in tow, it's time to reveal the right colored bow!

I have to admit, that's pretty dang cute!

We took a vote in the office to see what everyone thought...

2 people thought it would be a boy and 5 people thought it would be a girl!

We were all so anxious waiting for her to get to the office after her doctor's appointment! About 9:35am rolled around and we saw her pulling in! AHHHH the patience was wearing thin!

AND

THE

RESULT

The Aisle File Engagement Gift Idea

Here is my quick & easy engagement gift 

"The Aisle File"

The file allows them to keep all of the wedding things in one place. Notes, lists, contracts, invoices, contact info etc. 

Supplies that I chose: 

Last Name initial letter of the newly engaged couple (Hobby Lobby)

A bridal magazine {this one came with a bonus honeymoon guide} (Target)

 Notebook & Pens to start the lists and planning (Target)

2 mini bottles of Korbel Champagne  (Liquor Store)

One magazine file box (Target)

Select Your Tissue Colors {these are what I had on hand}

One for the Bride & one for the Groom

Choose a font you like, print and cut it out. That simple!

I made this tag in PowerPoint. I drew a rectangle and filled it with this picture. Added text to say "Congratulations On Finding your Perfect Match!" Tied it with some string I had and ta-da!

The "H" wouldn't fit in the box, so I left it out to the side.

This is a super easy and DIY gift idea that any bride-to-be will appreciate!

DIY Father's Day Cards

Father's Day is this weekend!

Are you prepared? Do you have your gift wrapped and ready?

Or, are you the "oh sh*t, it's this Sunday?" type?

Here are a few homemade cards that I did in PowerPoint. Super easy! Handmade cards are always the ones that warm the heart! So, to make this be handmade; print out the one of your choosing and place on some card stock or construction paper. Write a little message and voila! Easy, right? My dad has them on his desk in his home office... he seriously loves them! 
TIP: it never hurts to put a recent photo of you two on the inside!

If you have a handyman dad like mine, this card is perfect!

Have a professional businessman dad? 

How cute is this card??

I also made a general Father's Day card for all of the other pops out there!

dad-libs! {awesome}

How fun is this???

All made by yours truly!

ENJOY & I hope you all have a great Father's Day!

TIP:

If you are a DIYer and you make a lot of wreaths out of foam, cut it in half! This will allow it to sit flat against the door and you get to make TWO!

Playing With Vinyl

Over the past few weeks, I have purchased several vinyl decals from Etsy.

Here is my journey of transforming a few items around the house!

I bought a Martha Stewart Vintage Canister, but it came in with "SUGAR" and I was expecting "COFFEE." I got it on sale and used a coupon, so I thought, "I'm just going to make lemonade out of these lemons!" The back side of this canister is blank, so I turned it around and ordered a "COFFEE" vinyl in yellow!

I've never applied a vinyl decal before, but OMG it is super easy!

So easy, I attempted more projects all in the same night!

The BF always, I mean always is asking "Have you seen my keys anywhere?"

So, here is the solution I came up with. 

We ventured out to Peddlers Mall {my favorite place} and I was on the lookout for 2 things: one being an oblong or rectangular white dish. Found this beauty for $2!!

Added the key decals and voilà!

The other thing I was on the lookout for at Peddlers Mall was a cup, pitcher or mug that I could put my makeup brushes in. This task was harder than I thought because it needed to be the right height and have enough room for all of my brushes. 

OK, so she needs a little work....

 So, spray painting I go...

So cute, right?

And SO easy!!
