favors.

drinking appropriate wine for my jersey friend while crafting

spent some time with a good friend from college, laura, over the weekend. she is recently engaged to her longtime beau. they will be celebrating their engagement at a winery at the end of this month so she has been busy dipping wine glass bases in chalkboard paint for a practical favor. we added vinyl decals to to finish them off.

guess who had to use the backdoor?

dip chalkboard paint from any craft or home improvement store and let cure

personalized vinyl decals ordered from etsy than with the use of contact paper transferred to the glasses

Laura ordered her personalized decals from this etsy shop.

 

This was such an easy and personal favor to DIY. With a little patience and a good friend you can create something similar. What are you creating these days?

 

one.

i’ve been friends with meg since we were tots tumbling at the local ymca. now, meg has a beautiful daughter, adriana, who recently turned one. we celebrated adriana’s first birthday and baptism recently and here are a few of my pictures from her special day.

isn’t she adorable! i’ve been lucky enough to spend time with meg and adriana in the last year as she was back on the east coast, from seattle, while her husband eric was deployed. now eric is home and they are making a move south to north carolina, where visiting should be a little easier! visit meg’s blog here and learn about her family journey!
