Thrifty Thursday!

I had an amazing thrifting adventure yesterday.  
I went to three stores in 1 hours, spent $5, and got all of the following:

6 mason jars
7 votive holders 
2 candlestick holders

Not bad.  

From the mason jars and candlestick holders I am fashioning what some people call, redneck wine glasses.  Personally, I will use them for flowers or candle...
 not sure exactly what I want to do with them yet.  

They are super easy to make though...

1. Heat glue gun
2. Apply glue to top of candle stick holder.  
3. Center bottom of mason jar on top of candle stick.
4. allow to dry.

That's it!

Fill with flowers, candles, beverages... whatever you want.

Enjoy!

Taking Some Time

So after about a month long hiatus from any sort of wedding planning, I'm ready to get back in the game.  I know I was barely into the planning process, but I was totally burnt out already!  I think that moving, studying my boards, finishing my internship, and everything else that has been going on really took over and kind of sent my head spinning.

After a week long vacation with my love, Chad, I am ready to start working on things.
This blog is going to get a bit of an update.
I'm going to start adding pics of some projects.
AND right now, I'm going to start toward my fitness goals by heading to a zumba class.

I have a lot of goals to complete in a short amount of time, but I feel more motivated than ever.

You can also catch up on some of mine and Chad's vacation adventures by visiting:

We did find several wines we love and have purchased many bottles, 7 of which will keep nicely until our wedding.  It may not be much, but it is a start!
