When I was researching what to do with my leftover cards, I found a lot of posts on what to do with "gift" cards that people send/give you during the whole getting married "thing". I loved seeing these ideas, so I thought I would share.
First of all is the obvious. . .turn them into another card. See here.
If you are a bit more sentimental, you can always store them in a box.
But sometimes, you...
Thank Yous (Picture)
Just wanted to share a picture of my Zazzle thank yous. I've talked a lot about how much I love them and how glad I am to be finished writing them, but I have not posted a picture!
Pink and beige borders were added by yours truly (and her help). Thanks...
Thank You Notes
Justin and I finally completed all of our thank you notes last night. It was a grueling task, but we made sure to spend time when writing thank yous to consider the person who gave us the gift as well as the gift itself. We especially appreciated the many people who took the time to come see us on our wedding day. (Then again, the kitchen appliances and feathers are pretty awesome as well!)
After...
Love and Food
Whoever tells you that the way to a man's heart is through food ... lies. While Justin may appreciate my attempt at cooking, the true way to his heart is allowing him to make the good food.
In the past few weeks, Justin has made:
- na'an
- bread
- waffles
- ice cream
- peach frozen yogurt (from fresh, local peaches)
- a tomato sauce (from fresh, local tomatos)
- vegetable stir-fry (I cannot...
Finances
I have to admit that when we put in our final payment for the wedding, I thought finances would get easier. THEN, I thought when we made the last payment for an apartment rental and the first payment for the house rental in one month things would get easier.
Yeah. About that.
Now we are looking to put out about $1000 for getting my car fixed. Granted my car is not falling apart. I/we would just...
Creepy Crawly Wiggly Bugs
Obviously when you move into an older house, you get the remnants of whatever the last owner/renter had. Given that the landlord pays for an exterminator, we weren't expecting a big bug problem. Maybe we should have been.
Since we've moved in, we've had to deal with:
1. roaches
2. little ants
3. big ants
The list keeps getting longer the longer we live here.
Apparently the people before us did...
Ring Shopping
One of the first big purchases a newly engaged couple makes is that of the ring. I just thought I would share my perspective and things worth considering when going ring shopping.
1. Don't settle. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Easy enough, right?
2....
Picture CDs
As a thank you to family, Justin and I put together some cds to give to them. I really like this book I ordered to hold the cd. It looks stylish, 2 of our favorite engagement pictures are in there, and it makes it hard to lose the cd. It's hard to have a problem...
