I am happy to announce…I finished my wine cork monograms! I’ll be using my last inital (W) and Josh’s (A) since I plan on hyphenating. Here’s the final product: I have some tips for you if you are interested in doing this project. Remember all you
Next on the list of DIY’s for the wedding was something for our sweetheart table. I was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest, and I thought it would be a great way to add a personal touch to our seat backs. I designed the wreath
