April Crafts... I know a little late!




So I've become a huge fan of pintrest and I came across this Peep Wreath... and thought that it would be perfect for Easter.  And I love peeps which made it better.  


I went to Walmart and bought a ton of peeps... way to many I learned but I found out that they were Gluten Free so I didn't mind having a few left over!  



Then I got a styrofoam wreath from Hobby Lobby and covered it with ribbon.  I like the green styrofoam wreaths... but I'm sure you can use other ones.  


And I just started hot gluing them to the wreath... I tried pinning them but that didn't work.  I learned as I went that you should open the peeps and let them get hard then they would be easier to work with.  But I was impatient so I just went with it.  


I think alternating the colors really added something to it... and really made it feel like Easter. 




I added a ribbon at the end with some hot glue and pins.  


Then Mod Podged it.  I live in a building with lots of dogs, and I didn't want them barking at my door because they wanted the sugary goodness that is peeps.  So the mod podge definitely helped with that and to control all the sugar from getting all over my floor. 


I hung it on the door with one of those command hooks... Its a heavy wreath so I was a little worried it wouldn't hold.  But it did throughout the spring.  I got tons of compliments on it.

Emily's Wedding







 So Its a little late but Emily, my step sister got married in September... and I thought I'd share a few pics from the day.  More like my favorite ones of the day.  And too be honest only a couple of them include the bride.
Me lacing Emily into her dress.  
I love this shot of me getting ready... and my tattoo looks so good. 


After we got ready at the hotel, we made our way to the place where Bryan and Emily got married.  And of course we had to take a few pictures.  



The place they got married had this second floor with a balcony that overlooked a man made lake.  It was a great spot for some pictures. 





Kassidy isn't paying attention here but she was the perfect angel that day.  She was such a good little girl, I was so proud, like I am everyday to be her aunt.  


Balcony shot of all the girls.


Me and my mini-me Kassidy!  Love it.  Except the tan lines I have.  Oh well still a fun day hanging out with her.  I wish I had a shot of us getting our hair done together.  


Mom and Kaleb dancing.  He's such a little stud. 


By far one of my favorite shots from the wedding... Kaleb looks so cute and innocent here.   


Me, Karla an Kassidy... I'm so glad we got this shot.  We are not often all together.  


Kassidy and Kaleb were in the wedding... Kaleb was so cute delivering the rings.  The sun was in his eyes the whole time so they were shut so tight.  We had to keep talking to him and telling him what to do.  He was great during the whole ceremony and stood by Jimmy.  Kassidy was great.  She's getting so big I can't believe it. 


You know me... I have to take things a step further... a step over the line.  So here's me and the best man in our picture. 


And here's a few Gailey Family shots that I had to throw on here.  


Over all it was a long few days... which ended in my mom and I getting in a huge fight and me doing a lot of things that I believe someone else should be doing but I feel like I didn't have a choice but to do them.  Otherwise... it was fun to see family and friends.

So just decided with the new year should come certain things... like maybe actually paying attention to my blog and updating it on a regular basis.  It helps that I'm sitting in an airport right now waiting for my flight to Greenville, SC to help Keith with a big presentation tomorrow.  The added bonus... to spend time with the munchkins!  

It's been a long week of editing until like midnight then getting up early the next day and editing some more.  I hope that everything goes off without a hitch tomorrow.  Well with the exception that my youngest nephew is really sick.  I hate to hear that.  Hopefully he will be feeling a little better tomorrow, so Keith and Karla can have a little fun tomorrow without worrying.  Of course I just want to give him a big hug when I get there, but I'm sure I won't be able too.  Maybe by Sunday when I leave I can get one.  

Okay... well I promise that I will be better at this.  I better start heading over  to the gate.  I leave in about 25 minutes.  So I bet we're boarding.... 

I will post pics of the event... of my videos playing on the screens.  I'm nervous to see everyones reaction.
