I have to admit it, planning this wedding is so much fun!! I would have liked a little more time to plan some things and to save for certain things like the reception but I am having a lot of fun. I get to do some things that I really love like create, plan , decorate, take some nice beach wedding shots. My friend Niki, the one who did Becky's wedding with me is going to take some photos with us. It is going to be a very fun time. I love watching the wedding shows on tv and then trying to find a bargain way to do everything for much less. I am on a severe budget but I am finding it really fun to be creative. I have all the things that are important to me like my family will be there, the wedding dress is awesome, the wedding chapel is beautiful like a big white dream, even the day June 6th just sounds beautiful to me. After the devestating year I had last year, I needed some relief, some happiness and some good things to happen this year. It didnt start off too good but it seems to be lightening up a little bit now. If I end up having a great summer I will owe God big time!!!

Before picture. It was nice but all white and the grout was getting stained and cracking and some tiles were cracking.

So here it is after we started tearing off the tiles. We had holes in the wall and we had to fill them, adding a couple of days to the project.Kevin and Vern putting in the cut counter top.
Oops no one measured how wide the countertop was and now the door wont open.....back to the drawing board!!
Kevin cutting tiles. The kitties are taking notes for future projects.







Making some progress

Fresh home from one of many trips to Home Depot.




All done and pretty.



All my favorite colors!

I found a really cool online store. She has the best sales ever! She has a dollar section that has items in it that were originally up to $14.99 and I found a lot of cool current stuff for 75% off as well. This is what I got $24.98. I love the wings board book and the cupcake board book. I cut back my spending 90% from last year so it's nice to get a big box in the mail full of great deals!!

I have went back and forth with myself regarding my scrapbooking hobby. I have spent a lot of time and money over the last few years buying supplies. It is something I enjoy. I love the projects I have made. I have found ways to combine my passion for photography and scrapbooking. I came to a point where none of my friends were scrapbooking anymore. I scaled back on my shopping for a little while. I have enough stuff to scrapbook for many years and still not be out of product! I have thought about it and I decided that I really love scrapbooking. I will find new scrapbooking friends and if I dont I will just scrapbook by myself and with my online friends. I will not spend the amount of money I was spending but I will occasionally buy a couple things here and there. I dont spend money on some things other people do so I am not overspending anyways. I dont drink or do drugs LOL I enjoy time alone in my scrapbook room going through my stash and looking through old photos. If that is all I ever do I will be happy with that. Im not going to let it bother me anymore :) I am what I am says Popeye!

That being said, I have to show you some things I love. Every 6 months they come out with a whole new set of stuff.
