My darling Brittany got married almost two months ago. *sigh* I can hardly believe that
the six months of her accelerated planning are over. I tried to help as much as possible – but I
usually just stressed her out when I mentioned things she hadn’t yet tackled on
her “to-do list”. The wedding was lovely
and all of her hard work definitely paid off.
making for a while. [Breaking my blue jay heart]. I have been overwhelmed lately with school,
work (thankful for my new, albeit more stressful position with the firm) and
just life. I doesn’t matter how early I
wake up, or stay awake at night… I just can’t get everything accomplished that
I would like to! –Maybe less Facebook and blog reading should also be in my
near future [probably not]. It is kinda
depressing since I enjoy searching antique stores for, and selling the cages,
but something has got to give, and I am ok with birdcages “giving”. – Hence the
reason I am also so behind in blogging, scrapbooking and a dozen other crafts… c’est
la vie, a girl has to be a grownup and prioritize sometimes… being a “grownup”
is lame.
would be the BEST for Brittany’s cage rather than the normal Kusudama flowers I
usually make. Brittany was using
succulents as a base for flowers at her wedding and I thought these were
lovely! The website for the pin had a
FREE for personal use PDF download for the flowers [score!] so I got to cutting
them out… OMGoodness. They were NOT easy
to make. Lots and LOTS of cutting, did I
say LOTS? and then trying to glue
them – hot glue burns SUCK.
lucky for me I had the PERFECT pink ribbon tape in my supplies to go around the
cage! Heck yes!
She liked the flowers, but wished they were a more “bright” pink – not to be confused with “hot” pink. My co-worker Ashley tweaked the color of the PDF and voila! I had better colored flowers… the only problem was that I had to cut everything out. AGAIN. Thank heaven for my awesome [AWESOME] boyfriend, he sat and cut the smallest ones out on the train with me using his pocket knife – winning!!!
the original ones off the cage; I thought it would look fuller if I just
supplemented with the new ones. I wish I
had ripped them off, dang it.
when I could not fit the Mint and Pink Wedding Birdcage Cardholder, box of pom poms and four days worth of clothes
AND wedding supplies in my suitcase. She
ever so graciously carried the birdcage on the plane in order for it to arrive
safely. She is a gem.
me. I was so preoccupied on the day of
the wedding I totally forgot to get a picture of the cage (doh!) Lucky for me, Brittany’s photographer took this lovely shot:
