A Crafty Hand & Wedding Decorations

I took off work last Friday to work on wedding stuff for the Montana wedding reception that is coming up in a little over FOUR WEEKS!  I made a quick trip that morning to Miles City to try on my wedding dress!  It fits, and it looks good (from what everyone tells me), so I guess it’s a go!  When I got back to the house that afternoon I spent the majority of the day working on wedding decorations & compiling lists.

Saturday Wesley and I cleaned up around the house that morning, then hung out in the house that afternoon.  It was pretty cold outside so it was a good day to stay inside!  That afternoon as Wesley watched football I started compiling my shopping list for the wedding for us to get from Billings.  It ended up being 2 pages typed (yes, I’m that overly obsessed with my shopping lists that I type them out).   Saturday afternoon we went out to feed the calves and noticed that there were about 30 head in a pasture they weren’t supposed to be in.  So the wrangling began!!  We finally got them where they needed to be, and resumed feeding the little guys.

Sunday Wesley was in a round robin roping close to Miles City with a bunch of people we knew.  Clint, Sarah, and Jack were there also.  Sarah and I got to catch up on the latest happenings in our lives, and I got to fill her in with all the wedding details that have been going on up until that point.  Of course I got to love on little Jack while I was there as well, and I do love me some baby loving from him!  He was being so snuggly and sweet on Sunday (well, he’s always sweet but he’s at the age where he wants to explore his surroundings now).  So as I was holding him he would snuggle up close to my neck and lay his head down on my shoulder and just gently touch my face with his little hand…he melted my heart!  I got some good pictures of him with Wesley on our horse Champion as well.  It was adorable to see him up in the saddle with Wesley, and he LOVED it!  He’d ride around with his Dad in the saddle too…too cute.  I was so proud of Wesley on Sunday because he won the second round in heading at the round robin!  He did so well!!

Monday I was off work (because of the Columbus Day holiday) so Wesley and I got up early, I gathered my (typed) list, and we set out for the 2 hour drive to Billings so I could get the last minute things I needed for the wedding.  We were in Billings ALL DAY on Monday, and by the time we got home we were exhausted!  BUT, I did get everything I needed to complete table decorations, dinnerware, tablecloths, etc. so it was a successful trip.   

While I was in Hobby Lobby (for a little over 2 hours) I got my hot little hands on some of that deco mesh wreath making ribbon stuff that has been all over Pinterest and the latest craze among people.  I couldn’t resist trying my hand at just one extra crafty project to go along with all the other stuff I need to make.  I must say that my wreath turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself!  I also made a burlap wreath and am making a glittery wooden letter “D” that I’m going to put in the middle of the burlap wreath for us to use as our "everyday" front door wreath décor.  I’ll be sure to share pictures of that one once it’s completed!  All these little projects are putting me in an awfully crafty mood lately…is that good or bad?  I’m not sure yet. 

Hope you have a fantastic rest of the week!
