55 Days Till I Do

We are 55 days out from our wedding. It's crazy to think that almost a year of planning is finally coming to an end and all of our wedding dreams will become a reality. It's been crunch time around here and I've been trying to get my long list of things to-do crossed off. I still feel like I have so much to do but I was able to get the following done this weekend...

Ordered our cake topper.
Found & Bought my wedding shoes.
Finalized our lighting.
Got the final paper work for the DJ that we need to fill out.
Worked with our venue on the layout.
Started the place cards.

 

We always enjoy going to our venue. On Saturday we headed to Pleasanton to go through some day of details and afterwards we walked around the property and hung out in front of the mantle that we will say I DO in front of. We also planned where we will do our first look. We have a day of coordinator who's from the venue. She's been helping us for the past year with the venue and knows the details of how we want everything. I'm glad someone else can stress on the day of besides me.

 

The next things up on the To-Do list are...

My first alterations appointment.
Getting our wedding insurance certificate
Finding a card box.
Finishing the place cards

Beginning the seating chart

 

Wish us good luck! I've heard people say it takes them hours to do their seating chart.

Only The Knit Stitch

I've been a long time knitter. My mom taught me how to knit when I was in high school. I would have knitting spurts here and there over the years. Never constantly knitting items because I couldn't find the time. In the past few weeks, I broke out the knitting needles and started knitting some scarfs. Every evening when I get home from work, I eat dinner then start knitting. It's relaxing and been fun. I've been doing it now every day for about 4-6 weeks and I've got a large collection of knit scarves going on. So what am I to do with this pile of scarves? List them on Etsy! Here is a sampling of the scarves that I've knitted. I'll be adding more to the Etsy store because I've got about 6 more to list.

 

 

I decided to call my shop the "Only The Knit Stitch" because I do all my scarves in only the knit stitch! So if you get a minute go check me out on Etsy!

Theater Thursday

 

It's Thursday and that can only mean one thing... it's Theater Thursday! Halloween is quickly approaching so this week brings another Halloween themed movie. This week's featured movie is... Casper.

Casper hit the big screen in 1995 and won the hearts of everyone. Casper the friendly ghost meets Kat (Christina Ricci) when her father, James (Bill Pullman) a paranormal therapist brings her along while he goes to the Whipstaff Mansion to investigate the reports of haunting. Once they arrive at the mansion a trio of ghosts (Casper's uncles) decide to try and scare them off but James refuses to leave so him and Kat move into the mansion. Kat having to move around a lot since the death of her mother she's use to having to try to make new friends. Kat goes to her a new school and begins to become popular because of her place of residence. Back at home, Casper makes himself known to Kat and they begin being friends. Casper starts to really care for Kat while his trio of ghostly uncles decide they want her father James to join them in their ghostly trio.

The ghosts become close to James and Kat and decide that they don't want James to die. But fate may have another idea. Kat wins the battle with her friends and has a Halloween party at the mansion the results are life altering...
