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 have been wanting to spruce my blog up for awhile and I finally did! I wanted to get away from the dark look to a lighter, cleaner, and easier to use design. I also updated the "About" section and it's now accessible by clicking on the image under the logo. Unfortunately, I didn't take a screen shot before the design change. Though, this is what the header background looked like... I designed the new logo myself using Adobe Photoshop Elements. The photo you see on the left was taken by Trey on one of our photo adventures. You can see some more of his shots on Flickr . I can get over how much I adore this new design!
