Wedding Album . . . CHECK!

So I've never been that into formal wedding albums and when it came time to organize the thousands of pics we had from our wedding, I knew there had to be a way to incorporate them all into something more fun than formal. 

Thanks to our new amazing MacBook Pro, I created an amazing hard cover book with iPhoto. While it took me three hours to sort choose and then purge some of Chris Bendet's gorgeous pictures I am proud to say that in 3-4 business days we will have our wedding album! 

This was the one post wedding to-do that I dreaded the most. I'm fairly sure that peace in the Middle East could have been negotiated faster than the upload from our old PC to Shutterfly. Not anymore! Thanks to a dear new piece of technology, and to a man with the second best taste I know, these pictures literally flew from file to iPhoto faster than I could pour myself another glass o' champs.

I love a little over-exaggeration, it just makes life more interesting. The understatement of the year would be that I am a bit of a drama queen. 

Update: We loved this so much, we ordered copies for our parents as gifts. Yep, lazy on my part but they loved it and frankly, so did we.

Call Me Martha

Yesterday I did crafts.  Sorry . . . I almost vomited in my mouth a little.

I needed to do something super random to jump start my week.  While crafting was not originally on the list, it was the first thing that came to mind.

After a quick, hour-long trip to Michael's, I had my supplies.  A note on  Michael's, that place can suck you in!  Have you ever walked every aisle.  I can officially say I have.  Duff from Charm City Cakes has his own fondant and baking line.  Even Paula Deen has a party supply line complete with a "Ya'll" and "More Butter" phrases printed on cupcake liners.  I wonder if those cupcakes come with a side of diabetes?   I was in Crappy Crafty overload and totally had to resist buying it all.

Thankfully, I didn't.

Back to my Martha-moment . . . Here she is, my one and only creation.  Who knows, I might just do it again.  I love a headband and not because of Blair.  XOXO, I know too much about Gossip Girl.
