Pinterest Kick...

So the word is out and I am officially announcing that Nick and I are moving to Chicago in two weeks from today. Rumors are true;) We are both super excited to see where the next chapter in our lives takes us!!! With that being said Nick has "grounded" me from any wedding planning, so for the time being it has been placed on hold till we are settled into our new place. With all the excitement around here lately (planning a move, getting engaged and planning a wedding, graduation in May, job hunting, the sad loss of my cousin, etc. you get the idea) its become a little too much, I am not one to take one thing at a time I like to tackle it all at once, but this whole experience has turned into quite the learning experience to say the least; that one needs to identify when the going gets overwhelming things should be handled one thing at a time...UGH. So where does Pinterest, my latest addiction this past year, come in??? Well as we are just about living out boxes at this point, I have dug a little deeper into the site finding new things to put together for our next place...Girls side with me here, a new place means a given reason for new decor and ideas, am I right? So at the moment there are spray cans, various piles of fabric, some odds and ends, etc all over the place, one of my gf's has even been so generous to offer her work space since the itch for creativity has spread like a wild fire to her now too. Yes, I introduced her to the site as well just about a month ago. For those who haven't got a clue what I am talking about, all I can say is go to www.pinterest.com and browse around, you won't understand all the hype till you dipped into it yourself. Below are just a few projects/recipes I have tackled on this past week...

Hamburger Stew...Soooo YUMMY

Created some new thrifty wall art all under $35 

This isn't finished yet, still needs to be studded on the outer trim...

 Aside from all of that chaos lately, I did however do something wedding related in February. I got to attend my first Bridal Expo which was super fun and brain boggling. One day of never ending info was more than enough to get this future bride started. One of my girlfriends came with me and we tried so many different types of cakes (probably my favorite part...hehe), different catering services, looked at various assortments of invitations, saw a Bridal Fashion Show, and so much more. Everything and anything was there, I did get a ton of ideas I would have never imagined out of it, some of which I WILL be using (those of which are hush hush, sorry). But my gosh you go home with aching arms from all the stuff they give you.



Next up hopefulling a IndieWed show...check it out Indiewed.com... For those who know me well I am far from traditional so you will agree this is right up my ally!!!

On that note I gotta go eat dinner and hang out with the dude, hopefully I can squeeze one more blog in before the BIG move...if not, well, I will chat in a few weeks from the midwest;)

Just a little music to leave you with...
