Creative Wedding Gift: Upcycled Invitation

http://christyrobbins.blogspot.com/2011/07/wedding-invitation-ornament.html 

I always feel so bad throwing out wedding invites after the big day has passed.  I know how much time and effort the bride & groom invest in choosing, addressing, and mailing them.  I knew it would make a wonderful keepsake for the happy couple, I just didn't know what to do with it (besides framing it).  So, I searched Pinterest and found a wonderful idea: using the invite to make an ornament for the Christmas tree!  It was super simple & I think the bride & groom really appreciated it.  I am currently on a hunt for one of our wedding invitations from  9 years ago in hopes that I can do the same for my hubby & I.  We love Christmas and we love reminiscing over each ornament, remembering who gave it to us, what year, and why it's so special.

The link to the original pin is below the picture.  I did upload my pics (not great, so definitely look at the link) and directions under the Gift Idea tab.

It's Been Too Long...

OMGoodness!  Where has the time gone?!  I've wanted to share so many wonderful projects with you, but life has been crazy (a good crazy).  Thought I would take the time to say hello again and let you know what's on deck for the remainder of this month.  

* Part of our bathroom makeover

* Wedding gift ideas (great one for those Christmas-time weddings)

* Fall crafts with the kiddos

* Gift/craft for that furry friend of yours (I'm talking about your dog or cat!)

Before the holidays are in full swing there will be a pantry makeover  & a great idea for that holiday wreath your front door is yearning for. :)  Please continue to check back.  My goal is to begin posting (with pics)  these projects next week.  Can't wait to share!  Looking forward to your feedback and the wonderful ideas you have too!

Thanks for stopping by!
