Wedding Part 1/2

As I try to get my blog up and running again (but this time on a computer that is hanging on by it's last key) I am promising myself that I will be a bit more disciplined when it come to making sure I post. I have so much to share! In the spirit of sharing, here is a sneak peak from the MANY wedding crafts and ideas I will share from my own wedding this past November! I loved the invitation and programs so very much! Please feel free to use these ideas! Please ignore the lovely shadow on the pictures...


I had all of the printing done at a local printing shop. I brought them my ideas and had them print them on the cheapest off-white paper they had. I bought all of the envelopes at Hobby Lobby when it was 50% off. Same with the ribbon and the paper dollies. For the heart punches I used a scrapbook punch and a pad of Hobby Lobby 50% off 5x5 paper in a color scheme that I liked. I spent an evening punching hearts in front of the TV. 


The only thing I would have changed about the invitations would be adding a part for names on the RSVP. I did not care who was coming because we had free seating but a lot of people seemed upset that there wasn't a place to put their name. Oh... I also maybe would have hired a calligrapher for the addresses.



More wedding stuff and DIY things are to come!!

New title and new intent!

Recently I have come to the sad realization that I am on a sick mission. That mission you ask? To be better than everybody else. I'm not proud of it, but I feel like I can finally put a finger to my madness and OCD (even though that's an entirely different story!) Maybe I'm being a little hard on myself...maybe my condition isn't as self-centered. Anyway, whatever the problem, I dabble. I dabble big time. I become and "expert" on everything. So if somebody happened to ask me to describe myself the description would be what follows. 

Katie is a...

With all this in mind I am going to use this blog to better document my life as I dabble in things from book club parties to getting a new tattoo. From attempting to compost to getting my ham radio license. From awesome teacher lessons to getting backyard chickens! If you like to DO then this blog is for you!! Welcome to Dabble Diaries!
