Re-Post: Invitations are out!!

I posted this way back when I was planning for our wedding. I just LOVED our invitations. So I thought I would so with all of you their beauty.


After changing the send out date from the fifteenth to the twentieth and finally to the twenty-fourth I am finished. I think I may have permanent damages to my wrist, but they turned out just as I had imagined. I love them and cannot be happier. I cannot WAIT to start getting rsvp's. Here is the start of the postbox stalking.

All the inserts inside a paper dolly wrapped with red bakers twine. (my fav part)

I hand address'd all 70 invites. In addition to inviting all my guests I also invited the President and Mickey and Minnie mouse. The last perfect touch is the vintage stamps I bought from VerdioStudio on etsy. 

state bird on my back porch

This morning just after I woke, I looked out the kitchen window and saw the cutest, smallest bright yellow bird perched on a branch of the only tree in my yard. I had never saw a bird like it in the wild. I briefly thought it must have been a pet that escaped. I admired it and took a few pictures until it flew away. When SmittenHub woke up, I told him about the cute little bird and showed off the pictures. (Which might I add were gorgeous). SmittenHub proceeded to tell me, it was the state bird. A golden Finch. I googled it and sure enough he was right. At this point not only was I amazed at the beauty of the bird, but astonished that Travis knew that. He is so knowledgeable :) Here is my beautiful bird. I hope he come back.

With all the pressure I have felt lately, I have become a rabid reader LOL. Not that I already didn't love to read but I am up to reading one or two a week. Recently though, I cant find anything that has that pull I need to draw me away from this craziness I call life. Some of my favorites are

I guess lately I have been reading tear jerkers. But really, I am into any kind of book. SOOO does anyone have any suggestions.....
