Friday Funday

Okay, everyone, this snow needs to stop! I'm tired of it, spring needs to be bypassed and it needs to go right into summer, for reals. So here is a little pick me up that is guaranteed to have everyone laughing, and in a little bit of a better mood. Enjoy everyone.

The Royal Invites Are Out!

The invitations for Prince William and Kate Middleton have been sent out. Roughly 1,800 wedding invites were sent out between Thursday, February 17 and Friday, February 18. The wedding will take place on April 29, at London's Westminster Abbey. Take a look at what the guests received.

For a Royal wedding, I am not all that impressed. I understand that the economy is affecting everyone, and the Royal family is no exception. Especially when it was said that they faxed out save the dates. 

What do you think of the Royal invites? 

Obsession of the Day

Winery Weddings!

Everyone has that second wedding you dream of. You know, the wedding you would have if you haven't already put your heart, sweat, and tears into your current wedding. Besides our fabulous wedding this July, I have two "other" weddings; one being married in a vineyard.

We came close to having this dream come true. Unfortunately, it would have been just too hard to have all of our family, friends, and guests to drive 3+ hours to the Finger Lakes. So now I live vicariously through other brides and their breath takingly beautiful winery weddings.

Love, love, love! Anyone thinking of having a winery wedding? Has anyone had one?

Vinyl and Self Expression

Last night, I attended an Uppercase Living Party through friend and bridesmaid Michelle, here is her company webpage if anyone is interested in ordering from her fabulous self! She has just started selling the products and it gave me an excuse to purchase things for the house. Uppercase Living is all about vinyl designs that you can put on walls, dishes, glass, wood, and literally anything you can think of. There are words, designs, pictures, or custom options.

I purchased a cute ceramic charger with a vinyl design that I will put on it, that way I can use it all the time and take it with me when and if we move. (Because some designs can not be re mounted once you stick them someplace)

Here are some of the cute designs so you have a feel for what i'm rambling about.

All from Uppercase Living

I always thought about all the cute ways you can personalize the house, but I never thought about another option they have....weddings! That's right, they have a wedding line!

Decorate your get away vehicle!

Unity candle

Guest sign

Label your candy bar

Monogram for the wall

Wedding words

The great thing about them is that when you want to take them off of anything it is not a hard process. You just peel and they are gone with no sticky after math or discoloring of surfaces. And since they can go on anything you can customize just about anything you can think of.

I was thinking of ordering a couple things after we are married, and maybe using a couple signs for the reception.

(*I am not affiliated with Uppercase Living in anyway, I just love their products)

Has anyone else used any of these vinyl products regardless of it is from this specific company?

Manly Gifts for Manly Men

I don't know about you, but I always have a ridiculous time buying for the man of Valentine's Day. With the holiday totally catering to the female gender with stuffed animals, chocolate covered everything, and sappy cards, it's hard to find something that says I love you while being void of any estrogen undertones.

We are both total goof balls, and I love when gifts can reflect that while being something he will love. Whenever I have a hard time looking for a gift, there is always one place that never lets me down....that's right Etsy!

Here are some awesome butt kicking gifts that I found.

Your man as an action figure! Seller MellyMo will make your man into a 2D magnetic action figure that can be plastered on your fridge. It will make your man feel like Chuck Norris.

Or maybe a Valentine'e Day caricature from Cameoland. Want to be a pirate? What about a felsh eating zombie? Well they can make it for you!

Or maybe a mustache mug from LennyMud, for the mustachio lover who isn't quite ready to make a real life facial hair statement.

Source

Or maybe your man wants to show he's a man with this adult size beard from TheMonkeyCannon!

Source

Or maybe your guy is more into a personalized beer mug to drink his favorite brew out of from WhitewashSundries.

Or a personalized guitar pick to let your fierce musician know he rocks, from sTuckintheCoop.

I'm seriously contemplating getting the 2D magnet set for him because it is so sweet...who doesn't love snakes and machetes?
