Erin's Musings

Several weeks ago, I arranged a wedding shower for my brother and his fiancee. Luckily, I had some help from my super awesome friend . Everything at the shower was diy so I thought I would share a few photos of the decor.   The flowers were grown in my very own garden and I collected the pine cones myself. The louver door room divider was my brain child and my father was wonderful enough to put it together. He also cut the wood centerpieces from logs found in the back yard. My mother baked the cake; it was orange cake with whipped icing and orange slices on top. It was beautiful and delicious. The food and snacks we served was very simple (We had sandwiches, veggies, a watermelon fruit basket, chips, humus, and a cheese ball. Water, tea and pink lemon aid was served.) I received so many compliments from many of the guests. Personally, there were a few things small things I would have done differently, but I was pleased with outcome.

I wasn't until the end of last week that I realized I had completely forgotten to write a blog post! That's why I've decided to fill you on on what I've been up to lately: I'm throwing my brother and his fiancee a shower so I've been doing a lot of idea gathering (read: wasting time on pintrest) and crafting. I've watched all seven seasons of BBC's Doctor Who reboot and have been absolutely enthralled in that show (David Tennant, anyone?). I also have recently obtained a Fuji Instax 210 Instant film camera. I've had my eye on one of these for awhile, but I finally caved and bought one. Here are the first few shoots I took with it...   Onward to summer fun and productivity! -Erin
