This weekend, I will be doing the following:
1. Creative gift wrapping for next week's wedding - this is the couple getting married:
You can't see their faces, but they are both super cute.
As next week will be a busy one, I thought I would take my time to do some fun gift wrapping in advance this weekend. I am VERY big into making the wrapping as beautiful - or more - than the gift itself. I'm definitely not a dove-and-hearts-on-a-soft-white-wedding-themed-wrapping-paper kind of girl. It makes me yawn.
I love bold colors mixed with softer ones. I'm thinking something like this, but I'll match it to the couple's wedding colors:
2. Also, I have promised myself I will try making one of these (please note the word "try"):
3. Paint something like this for every girl in my family, except that it won't have a shabby/cottage-ish look. I'm more into contemporary style with a touch of romantic. It won't be red (maybe a soft powder blue?), and it will say "Felices Pascuas" which means "Happy Easter" in Spanish, my native language:
I will show you the product of my
4. Lastly, the garage is a mess. But, a girl has to relax, so I think I will drink a cup of tea and watch Lark Rise to Candleford on PBS while I cuddle up with a blanket. The mess in the garage will have to wait (and oh yes, I've got to get myself to the gym - which unfortunately - cannot wait).
I wish you a lovely weekend and thank you for all your wonderful comments this week.
Enjoy life, dear Lovelies!

ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew where the mug's from. The photo was taken by a great photographer who offers his prints on Etsy. I love that mug as well. I will check on Crate and Barrel. I love the fabulous things they carry!
Thanks for stopping by.
