2 Months to go...

Well, tonight was September 19th. Exactly 2 months til I walk down the isle and become Mrs. Bishop. Lots of emotions come to the surface when I think about that day and what its going to be like. I have most of the MAJOR details hammered out. We have the Ceremony & After Ceremony Celebration site locked down. All the dresses have been ordered. Still gotta help Paul pick out a suit for the big day and working on getting in touch w/a couple of far flung invitees, but all those close to us have been informed and I am working on finalizing the wording for the invitations. Had planned on sending them out the end of this month but its looking like it may not happen til early next month. Going to have our engagement photos taken this coming Tuesday and I'm really looking forward to that! Just have to decide what to wear, lol! Then I'll have a couple do-it-myself projects to keep me busy once I have the pictures printed, lol!

Have to make an appointment next month to start the Pre-Marital Counseling at our church and meet w/the Pastor who will be performing our ceremony so we can discuss what we would like it to include. Gotta go downtown to file for a marriage license and make an appointment w/my seamstress for the final dress fitting. Have to finalize the menu for our "After Ceremony Dinner Party" and decide if I really wanna make all the cupcakes or just get store bought ones. The original plan was to serve different flavors of cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake. I may be crafty, but I'm not a big baker.

I'm trying not to stress about all there is to do and enjoy all that I can about the process but some days that's more difficult than others.  Oh, well...it will all be over in just under 2 months and then I'll be able to relax, LOL!!!

Happy Scrappy MONDAY!! : ]

Good afternoon Blog-world! Today is Monday so that means a new Sketch for you scrappin' challenged like me, lol! This week's sketch comes from one of my FAV sketchy-sources, The Pencil Lines Blog! Have a look...

Oh and this month is the 1 year Anniversary of the start of my Monthly Sketch Challenge on Scrapbook.com. So to celebrate I am hosting a 10 Day Celebration Sketch Contest with lots & lots of FUN Sketchy inspiration and PRIZES!!! Come join us! August MSC/Anniversary 10 Day Sketch Contest







Below is my latest which was inspired by this sketch.

I took these pics a few weeks ago and liked them so much I decided to scrap 'em! The journaling is a few lines from one of my FAV Kenny Chesney songs. The title is the song title too. I drew and then cut out the hearts and folded up the edges for a little dimension, then layered them over the photo to the left and the strip of pattern paper.




I used 2 kinds of fabric trim on this LO-a small black pom-pom and an aqua lace to try to bring out more of the blue in the green-blue background paper. The various rub-ons add a bit more romance to the page and I am glad to be using them up! Thanks for stopping by. : ]

A NEW LO to share...

It seems like my scrappy time has gotten smaller & smaller over the last couple of months. Soon I'm going to be slammed with making wedding preparations & running all over town so I'm glad I finally got this page finished. I started it about 4 weeks ago believe it or not, lol!

These photos are from the trip to Vegas Paul & I took last November.
We had a BLAST at the Top of the World & I can't wait to go back!


The food there was delicious & the views were breath-taking!! Thanks for stopping by, have a happy scrappy day! : ]
