Friday’s Top Five

October 5, 2012

…moments of this past week (and to come for the weekend).

Hey all, let me start by saying Happy Friday (yay).
Today I’m sharing my favorite moments past and to come from this week/weekend.
#1. A very successful DIY
I wanted the card box on the left for our wedding until I got on Etsy.com and saw its price tag for 165.00. Yea, um no. So, I made my own- for 40.00. Would anyone want to see a tutorial on this, let me know.

#2. This movie was on…nuff said.

#3. Our wedding invitations have been approved and ordered!
Stuffs gettin’ real peeps! If anyone is looking for an awesome designer, you should check out Chocolate Paper Boutique. Mary is such a pleasure to work with (even with OCD people like me) and even though she is based in Cincinnati, she works with people from all over the country! I can’t wait to receive them!

#4. Girl time
I’m headed down to Columbus this weekend to spend some time with my bests and also celebrate a pretty lady’s be-lated birthday with some retail therapy, wine and stimulating conversation.
#5. Fiance is headed to Chicago for his Bachelor Party
Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, all I know is I hope they don’t end up like these guys…

What is everyone looking forward to for the weekend? Or what did you do this week that made you smile? Discuss!

    Happy Friday! This week had a lot of great moments for me too – one being an amazing delivery from J Crew (which I blogged about, of course!) and the other is that my sweet little pup who had surgery on her hind knees last week finally took steps on her back legs! So exciting! ๐Ÿ™‚ Have a fab girls' weekend.
