Life

Life is about to get a bit crazy for me over the next few weeks, so you may see very little of me. I'm going to Galveston to plan more of my wedding, and to celebrate my munchkin's second birthday! I'm so excited :D I'll also be working on some of my wedding crafts over the week, and I'll post links to tutorials and share photos once things are finished.

The 26th-29th of this month I'll be at Aggiecon. I wont be wandering around this year, so I'll be easy to corner (sorry again for those who missed me when I was there last year!) I'll have a table in the Dealer's room selling my vinyl decals, so if you purchase a print in the art show (no originals this year, I'm traveling light) or if you already have one and you'd like me to sign it for you, bring it by my booth! Also, if you've seen one of my paintings and would like the original, send me an Email at battlemaidenart@yahoo.com and we'll work out a price, and I'll bring it to the show for you.

Hooray!

Wedding plans are finally moving in a forward motion. Yesterday, my Mom gave me the beautiful gift of a 19th century Victorian venue in Galveston for my wedding. It's the same venue my sister used for her wedding reception last year, and I fell in love with it then.

Now that I know where we're having the wedding for sure I can start working on all of my different craft projects. I'm really excited to start on it all.

In the mean time, I'm still working on lots of vinyl decal designs. Monday I'll start to make updates to my vinyl decal shop and I'll slowly start to introduce all of the different things I've come up with over the past two weeks.

I'm getting married!

David proposed to me on my birthday! Now instead of just calling him "The Hubby" I'll mean it too. The proposal was very sweet, and came on the third anniversary of the day we met :D Our wedding day will be October 31, 2009, and we've got a lot to do in the meantime. Of course, since I'm an avid DIYer, I'll be making a lot of the things myself.

So far, my list is:
All of my jewelry (choker and tiara)
My bouquet
Bridesmaid's bouquets (3)
Masks for the parents and wedding party (13!)
Invitations
Less detailed masks for guests who want them (about 50, but I'll just be painting plastic masks for this part)
Favors (haven't decided yet)

I've also scoped out a few Etsy shops that I'll be purchasing from! We're having a masquerade party for the reception. I think it's all going to be a blast.
