Paper Balls and Margaritas!

No, I'm not referring to my bachelorette party... but a get-together for wedding crafts!

Last Saturday, some of my favorite ladies came over to help me 629 of these:

What are they?  Well, a flower petal, of course!  It takes 5 petals to make a flower, and 12 flowers to make this:

My "Pew Markers"

So we made about 10 and 1/2 flower ball's worth of petals... and I'm thinking I need around 30 balls.  Yay for being a third of the way there!  Those of you that couldn't make it need not worry... there's plenty of folding and glue sticking opportunities ahead!

Thank goodness my teacher's aide enjoys cutting pink paper into 4 inch squares!  That saved me a lot of work last week! :o)

And Thank You SO MUCH for all the help I got on Saturday.  It was fun to see everyone, catch up, watch some college football (including victories by both Nebraska and Pitt State!), and drink some margaritas!

Man, I wish all my wedding to-do's were that much fun!

Picture PERFECT!!!

I know, I know... you don't have to say it.  I've been a bad blogger.  I've let the craziness of 2 weddings and a 3-week cough/cold/yuck keep me from even turning on my home computer!  I promise you'll have another post by Sunday!

But what better way to come back into the blog world than with a pictures post!  And what pictures do I have to post?

Our WONDERFUL Engagement Pictures!!!

A couple weeks ago (right before the cough set in), we went down to the Liberty Memorial to take pictures.  We got some GREAT ones!  Check them out (and let me know which is your favorite... because I just can't decide)!



One of my fave's



I love the angled pictures!



It's a weird angle for my neck, but I like the picture!



LOVE the sky in this pic!

Holding Hands with the "enemy"



"Kris Kross will make ya wanna... "



This was so fun to take... we had to throw the leaves in the air and hurry to kiss!



Even at this angle, you can see whose team is on top!



Possibly my favorite



This is one of those pics that just looks like "us"



LOVE!



I really do love this guy!



Like the skyline in this... wish we could have a little more!



LOVE what happens with the sun!



AWE!



So Sweet!



FUN!

And I insisted on having some "family" pictures.



Looks like Ossie is trying to jump out of our arms!



LOVE this family picture!

To see ALL of the pictures, check out my facebook album.  Ahh... LOVE THEM!!!

Now to decide which ones to print!  I'll probably take a couple to school, and I think I'll blow up one of the "family" pictures to put on our wall (much to Jason's dislike).  And I'm sure we will have a few of them framed for the wedding... Man, I love 'em!!!
