Wedding crafts

This past May my brother married his beautiful wife! I could ask for a better sister in-law!  They had a beautiful barn wedding on a working cattle ranch.

I was so excited when she asked me to be apart of her spacial day! I have never been a bridesmaid before and I was honored to be apart of her beautiful bridal party.

How beautiful are her pictures?! This was on a roof top in Morrow Bay CA.

( I will make another post with more of her pictures when they get them back from the photographer!)

ANYWAYS

TO THE CRAFTS!

On top of being a bridesmaid I couldn't help myself but make some wedding crafts!  I ended up making a ring box, Mr. and Mrs. mason jars, drink menus and a cute 'key to a successful marriage pallet'.

This is the ring box.

I purchased an unfinished little box from Michael's craft store, stained it, added paper to the inside, glued in a little chalk board with a cute little saying and added two fake flowers to hold the rings.  It came out a lot better than I thought it would! lol.

These are the Mr. and Mrs. mason jars!

I warped twine around the jar as well as the handle and just added a little dot of glue with a hot glue gun to keep it all together.  Also hot glued the hearts on after painting them with chalk board paint.  These were an adorable addition to the sweetheart table!

The drink menus were super fun to make and came out pretty cute!

I just took some already chalk painted boards and used a chalk pen.  This was easy in the sense that if I messed up all I had to do was wash it off and try again! (took a few times).  

Last but not least here is the 'key to a successful marriage' pallet.  I had a little box with all different kind of vintage keys with tags attached with a sign that said: "write down the keys to a successful marriage" guests were to write on the tag and hang the key on the pallet.  It turned out to be really cute and fun for the bride and groom to read after the wedding!

I took an old used pallet, sanded and stained it.  I found the big keys are Hobby Lobby and attached them to the board to hold the tags.  This took a little more time than the other crafts but was definitely worth it!

Boomer & Djagno

This post is nothing but an excuse to show off my adorable little fur babies!

This is Django!

He's the sweetest little guy and always smells like pancakes! (odd yes, but I'm not complaining)

If any of you own beagles you know how stubborn they are.  This little guy is so independent I feel like he could get a job and move out if he wanted to.

This is Boomer! He's the only blue eyed full bred beagle!

This little (not so little) guy is such a mamma's boy.  He's my shadow and will do anything for a cookie.

Beagles are definitely a different breed. They are NOT like other breeds. There is now such thing as a calm and collected walk.  Beagles are on a mission to smell every little thing! So pulling is a given.  They are super stubborn but do listen when I have food in hand.  Now that they are a little older they do listen to more just in general but over all these little guys have their own agenda!  All that aside, they are the most loving and loyal little pups.  They love to cuddle and give lotsssss of kisses.  I think we all can relate to Beagles, all they want is food and love!
