Embossing Queens

Yesterday was a very busy day. I am on the road to recovery and basically am back to normal minus my sinus but you can still function for the most part with a runny nose and headache. So...I got up and Dad and I went and took my car to get it's oil changed then I came home and loaded up on medicine so that by the afternoon my headache would be gone and I would be able to get a lot of stuff done. I layed back down until noonish then Mom and I got ready and were off shopping! We first went to Dillards and they had NO wedding shoes. It was rather disappointing. I knew exactly what I wanted though so that makes it a little more difficult. I didn't want to wear heals and knew my back and feet would be killing me by the end of the night if I chose to wear heals- so I originally thought I wanted ballet slippers but with it being summer I figured sandals would be better and I found the perfect pair! After no success at Dillards, we left and headed over to DSW where I found them.After we got the shoes we still had a few minutes to waste before we headed downtown to meet a photographer so we ran into Michaels and picked up the candy scoops for the candy bar and the bags that the guest will use to place their candy in. I got 4 sets of white, orange and red bags. On the red and orange bags I will be embossing a stamp that says, "We love, because he loved us first. 1st John 4:19" And on the white bags I am going to stencil a pretty K on them in orange and red paint : ) Now I just need to go get the jars for the candy and the candy.

Also, mom had found really cute bubbles for when we leave but they were like $8 for 36 of them. Well I went to Wal-Mart looking for candy scoops (which they didn't have) and found 100 bubbles for $15 and they look just like the ones from Michaels!!! I was super excited about the deal I had found! They are little test tubes of bubbles with a love knot on the top. I bought some red and orange ribbon and today I am going to start tying the ribbon to the knots. : ) I am so excited. We got so much done. It may have just been the little things like candy scoops and wedding shoes but they are important too! I will take some pictures later today and post them.

After DSW & Michaels, we headed to the photographer. I really liked him and he seemed good but I still am not sold. He seemed very traditional, and I am anything but traditional. Granted by the time we got to the photographer I wasn't feeling very well, so I am still searching...

*Update* Mom and I have been embossing the bags and they are turning out super cute. We have finished half of the orange and half of the red. I am in still in search of a K stencil, so the white ones have yet to be started. However, here is how the others are coming along...
