Sunday, FUN DAY!!

Haha..I kept saying this Sunday and it was annoying Ry..hehe It was a sunday FUNDAY though!! Ry had the day off on the same day as me!! It was so fun to hang out with him all day! We went to Gma's and Gpa's house for dinner and had a nice visit! Ry got to meet Scruffy..the sweetest cat ever..I love scruffleupagus:-)

She didn't want to look at the camera..poor kitty..

Saturday I went and looked at a wedding venue in Acworth that I LOVE!!!! I don't want to even look anywhere else..the place is perfect..BUT I'm gonna shop around and see what else is out there just in case..plus I gotta take Ry back to see it since he didn't get to go with me (even though he said that if that place makes me happy-then he's happy-isnt he sweet?)

Saturday nite, my friend amanda invited me to do the Twilight Scrap Night at Archivers and it was soooooo fun!!!! It was a scrap night till midnite and you could bring anything to scrapbook but it had a twilight theme! They also had twilight trivia throughout the nite and a Twilight CAKE!! It was catered by firehouse subs and they had drinks and candy and chips! It was soo fun and we made friends with the 2 ladies that sat at our table. The one lady even let me use her cool die cut machine! It was so fun we have already talked about going next month! I decided to start an engagement scrapbook with the scrapbook that Ry proposed to me with. I got alot of pages done and it was fun to get advice from the other ladies at the table while I scrapped.

 

we were at the "breaking dawn" table

me and amanda!

I was number 2-so when I needed something from the store to scrap with I just went up to the counter and she put it on my tab/number 2 and we closed out our tab when we left! It was sooo cool!

the cool TWILIGHT cake..it says "and so the lion fell in love with the lamb" (it's from the book)

this is the score board..we didn't win:-( but we only missed a total of 3 questions! geez!

finished page 1 and 2

finished page 3 and 4

finished page 5 and 6

and finished pages 7 and 8..and by 11 I was scrapped out! I accomplished alot though!

Another fun weekend!! Hope everyone else had a great on too!!

Bridesmaids

ok so now that I have asked everyone and everyone has received their gifts in the mail..I can announce my bridesmaids!! yay! I decided to ask everyone to be my bridesmaid in a different way...I made these cards..

and these are some of the "fronts"

when ry made my "will you marry me" scrapbook-he bought ring embellishments to put in the book-he only ended up using 1 so there were some left over and I wanted to use the remaining for my bridesmaids!

and I gave them this gift..

makeup bags that say bridesmaid on it! yay! I thought it was cute for them to get asked to do me the honor of standing up to my wedding while I marry my best friend and then get something that says their "new title" on it! yay so everyone can use their makeup bag while we get dolled up for the wedding!

the color we are thinking about doing for the wedding is ROYAL PURPLE! and everyone knows I LOVE that black and white design..so we might try to incorporate it into the wedding..

heres all of them! I have 6 bridesmaids!!

My name is Andrea..and I have a problem.I'm addicted to Reality Television..

I've been watching WAY too much TV lately..prob cause me and Ry have a DVR..

Mom got me hooked on all the Real Housewives shows..all of em..NY, New Jersey, Orange County..all of them except Atlanta..uh..can't stand them..

I also like the Bachlorette..they do some FUN dates on the show..they are going all around the world this season and next week they are going to Iceland..it looks super fun!

this isn't reality television but there is a new show on ABC family called "pretty little liars''-they have only had 2 episodes so far..but I'm HOOKED...it's all about mystery..mom you would like it!

I gotta work on my recent addiction..hey..at least I tape them and don't stay up too late watching tv..right? haha o well!
