an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.
I practiced a flower boutonniere the other night. It was surprisingly easy. Those leaves? They are lemon leaves picked from a tree at Paul's parents house. The ribbon is what will be wrapped around the bouquets & I think it adds just enough color. I'm making ten of these the day before for the groomsman, P, our dad's and my grandpa.
PS : I know it's becoming all wedding all the time around here. It's consuming my time and craft projects this month. Thanks for hanging in there with me. xo.
Lovely!! Please do not feel bad… it’s exciting to read about your wedding, and can’t wait to see the pics after! 🙂

You are not a bridezilla, so blog away about the wedding.
If/when it happens for me, that’s what I intend on doing.
It’s exciting, and a big deal.
I love that you made those, so cute.

I hardly ever comment, but I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of years now and I wanted to tell you that last night as I was getting ready for bed I randomly (quite randomly since I only know you through your blog) thought of you and realized your wedding is fast approaching and I got a big smile on my face. So exciting that it’s right around the corner. 🙂 Congratulations and keep those wedding posts coming!

Don’t feel bad about posting only about your wedding. It’s what’s going on in your life right now and I know you’re very excited, I would be. I enjoy reading your post, It’s my anniversary month so it makes me remember back to my wedding day. Good memories.
