sparkles

as i've mentioned, i am preparing for this weekend.  we are celebrating my friend shannon & her impending nuptials to a very sweet andy.  i hope it is a gloriously girly few days, jam-packed with all things lovely & sweet but most importantly, blissful days with besties being genuine, laughing our faces off, relaxing & lavishing love on our dear friend.

pinterest is just about the best & worst thing that could happen to a party.  i have about a billion things i would like to do {how fabulous to have so much inspiration} but at the same time you can't have 4 themes, 600 different kinds of decorations & 12 different types of favors soooo...i've been trying to carefully plan out what i commit my time, effort & dollars to because i mean, i want our parties to be darling, not crazy.  originally i thought i would share some of my party ideas with you but then i decided that would spoil all the fun so...you'll just have to wait.  only 3 more days til we get this party started!

i also have about 20 posts in waiting to catch my 'online journal' up on life.  i don't know if this week will be the week for that.  somehow i doubt it.  but please keep checkin' in on me.  i promise they're coming....slowly but surely.
