And, in honor of getting back into something I've overlooked for nearly 10 months, I thought I'd show you another project that I finally resumed (and completed).... after ignoring it for a year and a half!
The forgotten project was my Bride/Wedding Book (I'm not really sure what they are called).
Shortly after I got engaged I started looking for a book that I could have at all my parties (and at the wedding) for people to sign, and to be able to document other special moments during our engagement. But as I started looking for such a book, I ran into 2 problems:
1) All the books I saw were very fancy looking. They were either made of linen, or silk, or some other elegant material. And, while they were all very pretty, that look just isn't me. I'm pretty simple... so I wanted my book to be simple too
2) All the books I saw were really expensive... like, $200 expensive. I'm sorry, but I'm not paying $200 for ANY book!
So.... I decided I would just make my own book. And I really enjoyed picking out what paper and pictures I would use for my wedding scrapbook. And for our whole engagement I did a really good job of keeping up with it. I think, by the time we'd been married for a month, I had the scrapbook completed up to the wedding (all my showers/teas were documented, as well as my bridesmaid's lunch).
And then, I guess life got in the way and I completely forgot about it (we started looking for a house, then we found a house and started getting ready to move, then we moved and now it seems like there is always another project to do around the house!)
This summer I decided that it was time I finally finished our book. So I ordered the rest of the pictures I needed (that's right... I had yet to order any of our wedding pictures... oops!) and on August 1st 2012 I finally completed the scrapbook I started almost 2 years earlier!!! (we had been married a year and a half on August 2nd). I was very excited with the way it turned out!
Here are a few pictures of the finished product. Hope you enjoy it!
