A Girls Gotta Have Somewhere To Hang Her Dress!

I've been seeing a lot of the wire-wrapped coathangers that spell out "Mrs" or "Bride" or something close to that effect, and now that they're super popular, I needed to "make it my own" so... I grabbed me some ribbon, and a coathanger, and some beads and got to work!  It's not done yet as I want to add the wedding date and some pearls to the wood, but I love it so far!

 I love how my fairy figurine looks like she's giving it a bit of a kick!

The picture doesn't actually do it justice, but at least it's a bit different than all the wire-bending hangers out there!  

We decided on forever!

Well how about that!  After 4 years of just being "boyfriend-girlfriend" he finally popped the question on December 24th, 2012... That's a whole other story!  (Click here to read all about the proposal that I nearly sabotaged).  Lance and I (I am trying to include him as much as possible!) have decided on a smaller budget.  He's frivolous  I'm frugal.  I win!  I also love to make things, so I figured that I'd make a blog to detail all of the planning details in our two year engagement!

People ask me if I'm crazy for having such a long engagement... My response: No!  I am having such a great time looking through wedding magazines and other peoples blogs, not to mention Pinterest!  Why rush it?  This is supposed to be the best time of my life, and I intend to drag it out as long as I can!  :)

Anyway... Enjoy my blog, and if you're newly engaged, then a big congratulations to you too!
