All Married Now (but I still don't know my name)!

No, it's not a country song.  I just have had a rough time deciding.  But I think I secretly know what it will be, it's just the implementation that I'm having a hard time with . . .

But who cares about that- let's see some pictures!!! Here is just a light smattering of shots from the day.  I plan on writing more about the six weeks it took to plan this wedding and all the craftiness that abounded, from the diy wedding website (now everyone can take a peek!) to the guest-crafted wedding origami invites, to the whale ring-bearer pillows, to the home-made photobooth and everything in between.  But in the meantime, see if you can spot all my costume changes . . .

9 Days Until . . .

Well, where have I been? 

Looking for a ring and getting a bit crafty for a big day that is almost upon me/us. 


The short version: we switched the date and location of our wedding to the beginning of August.  When did we make this big decision?  Five weeks ago.  Yup, I had six weeks to plan a wedding.
 :)

With all the hectic craft-sanity going on I have been trying to do some documentation, so after this whirlwind we will try to decompress and show off a bit.  But for now I leave you with this irony . . .

In a town full of jewelry stores (literally filled, Juneau is a mad summer tourist destination and the streets are lined with the same store in every port, plus more, let's say there are about 40 jewelry stores) I cannot find a wedding band that I love that fits with my engagement ring.  Any fabulous ideas???

New TP On Etsy!!

Ok, my ETSY has been out of commish for months now it seems. Ugh!!  But never fear, just when you thought I would never get anything done, I did something!!

I've updated it with one of my FAVORITE silly thoughts-turned-into-reality.  Do you have those?  I do all the time and usually they are pointless and silly and those are the ones that actually become reality.  All the really good thoughts I have are too time consuming and therefore never come to fruition.  
So for 2011,  thank goodness for the silly little thoughts in the world coming true.

Anyhow, this thought is about going on dates and fun things to think in this new year.  Here is the blurb on etsy for the "Reject Them Sweetly" cards:

Have you ever encountered a friendly mate who swoops in to ask for your number (or more) and all you want is a little tongue-in-cheek card that would "Reject Them Sweetly"?

Well, yippee, we are here to help! A set of 8 unique cards in a dazzling array of humorous acceptance and rejection.

From the "Dearest ______________,
It's not you, it's me.
Yours truly, _____________"

To the "Whoops my phone just broke!"

Or perhaps they do float your boat, then pass them the understated
front: "my number is ____________"
back: "(it's ___________, if you forget)"

Plus 5 more smile-inducing little cards to date by. Cards come in a stylish carrying case made from upcycled security envelopes (patterns may vary from envelope pictured).

Great for bachelor and bachelorette parties- custom cards can be easily created, convo me with details!

Sooooo fun! Hahahhahah, if you want to get some yourself try my store at www.tpalaska.etsy.com, and if you're local then convo me for free shipping/delivery!!
