After HOURS of work, a boat load of money, and an incredible amount of patience, I think my Wedding Scrapbook is just about complete!

{Warning: Long Post Ahead!!}

Some of the pages I’m absolutely in love with, others might need a few tweaks, but overall, I’m proud of this book, and I hope my future family enjoys looking at it as much as I do.

These are the completed pages (note, some personal information has been edited for privacy!)
And for the record, it’s extremely difficult to take photos of scrapbook pages!

COVER

OUR ENGAGEMENT – Irving actually gave me this book on the day we got engaged. He had already completed the first page. He actually went to a scrapbook store with his mom and grandmother to create it! On the left is the history of my engagement ring (it’s a family heirloom!) His grandmother wrote in her own words the story behind the diamond! On the right is Irving’s proposal speech (written out by him!)

One for you…One for Me! December 15, 2010

I definitely shopped myself out this year for the holidays. I had a list and I fiercely plowed through it bouncing from store to store at each opportunity. I have to say, I’m a little burnt out now. It’s easy to forget what the holidays are really all about sometimes.

And I’m totally guilty of buying myself a couple of treats on some of my excursions. (I never really do that!) This week, I got myself a new sweater, some cozy slippers…

And this sweet Christmas Card tree (Irving’s request).
IMG_2461

I had the ‘one for you, one for me’ syndrome this year!

IMG_2464 IMG_2468

But now, I’m SUPER excited to go home for Christmas and see my family and my East Coast friends!

IMG_2467

Tonight, I had a few girls over to scrapbook with me. I was really excited because Girl’s Night In is always a blast. The scrapbook paper, stickers and scissors came out and before we knew it, four of us were chatting away cutting, cropping and creating!

IMG_2466

But I just wasn’t feeling inspired tonight. Maybe I was just a wee bit tired, but mostly, I was frustrated that I couldn’t find the photos and pieces I wanted to work with tonight. I think I need to reorganize and clean up my craft closet a little bit. I’ll make that a New Year’s resolution.

And I promise, I will definitely share my Wedding Album when it’s complete. It’s |this close| to being done!

Christmas is almost a week away!!! Wow, that really snuck up on me this year!

A couple of my friends started a monthly ‘craft night’. It’s a fun excuse to get together regularly and learn how to make something cute!

IMG_5862

This week’s theme was hand stitching with felt. We were all inspired by this Mini Cooper that Jenn made completely freehand! Isn’t this amazing?!
IMG_5864

I’m not quite that talented, so I used a pattern to make a bird!
IMG_5860

Not bad for a first attempt, right?
IMG_5865

IMG_5866

Caitlin’s was a little more daintier. So cute!
IMG_5869

And Jenn made this awesome Iphone case!!! She should sell those!

I’m already looking forward to the next night. So much fun!
