Most of my blog followers (all 5 of you!!...hi mom, hi David! : ) already know the news, but just for the day when this blog has hundreds of followers (a girl can dream) I'll make the announcement. I'm engaged!! I will admit, I have been planning for this day for a while now (I've only had 9 1/2 years to think about it!) and I really wanted a fun way to ask my bridesfriends (I hate the word maid) to be a part of the big day! I went to Paper Crack, oh whoops, I mean Paper Source to brainstorm, spent way to much $ and ended up with some pretty cute photo books...if I do say so myself! : )
The books came as a little DIY pack. It includes 2 cardboard covers, and an accordion filler. You pick whatever paper you want to cover the front and back, choose a cute ribbon to tie it all together with, and top it off with any embellishments of your choice!
Close-up of the inside...I know you love that bathing suit pose!
For the last page, I figured it was a photo book so why not ask with a photo!
*Also inspired by some good friends of ours who sent us the cutest congratulations via facebook with the same idea!
They're finally done and ready to be sent off! I wish I could give them all in person but unfortunately half of them live in Northern CA, and will have to be sent. : (
I'm off to meet up with my sister who flew in from Boston yesterday...so excited!!
Melissa I will be your friend! LOL Great idea... Too cute! Have fun with your sister!
