What I Wrote: Week of Oct. 29

No Comments Blog Maintanence
I had a busy week this past week… so, I didn’t get to post all the fun items I had planned to post. Just means I get to save them for this week and future weeks! My total goal for both my sites is to post items I believe in/want to share rather than just post to post. Sometimes they will interest everyone… sometimes they will only be just for my record. So, I do not plan to always post 5 days a week. I’m personally not a fan of bloggers who just post something to post something. Hopefully this keeps you coming back for more whether it is 5 days a week or three.

A Well Crafted Party:

This week on A Well Crafted Party I shared a lot of Halloween goodness. It is one of my favorite holidays and you can tell if you have followed this blog for very long!
Wednesday, Oct. 31: Happy Halloween— Photos of me and my little one in costume!

Leave the Laundry for Later:

(UPDATE: I closed Leave the Laundry for Later in order to focus more on A Well Crafted Party. All of the following posts are available on A Well Crafted Party)

Halloween touches down a bit on Leave the Laundry for Later this past week… but, I also got to check out the new Microsoft Surface as well as announce the beginning of a new series I’m super excited to share with everyone. Five moms (and myself) will be sharing their experiences with breastfeeding over the next couple weeks… don’t miss it!

Nice to Meet You: Favorite Things You’ve Made

7 Comments Introductions
Nice To Meet You

I love the idea behind the “Nice to Meet You” linky party that Adventures in Dressmaking and several other awesome blogs are hosting. This linky party’s theme is “Favorite Things You’ve Made” and I thought it super appropriate for a DIY party blog. So, I’m listing the six favorite things I’ve made— Party Edition.

I’d love to know YOUR six favorite things that you have made. So, if you’d like to link up then head on over and link up your favorite things (you can even link up a Pinterest board!) -OR- just tell me about them in the comments section.

Favorite Things I’ve Made—Party Edition

1. Party Dress— I am not the best seamstress…. but, I have always loved the idea of designing clothes. So, one of my all time favorites is the party dress I designed, made out of material I used at one of my other parties, and then wore on my birthday and for my maternity photos. 

2. Newspaper Program—Maybe it is because it was from my wedding. Maybe it is because it was a newspaper. The program had mistakes, it wasn’t perfect. But, it was my favorite detail of our wedding (other than the groom) and I am sure glad I made it!

3. My sister’s wedding. This is a broad one here… but, I’m seriously so proud of every little detail that came to life for her wedding. I did a lot of little handmade details. Her invitations, the ribbon backdrop, the flowers… all favorites of mine!

4. The Mad Tea Party Decor— The Alice in Wonderland Halloween party was over-the-top and nothing like a traditional Halloween party. It was such a blast creating this space and it was so beautiful I didn’t want to take it down for weeks. As a matter of fact one of the party elements stayed up in our home until we moved this past month… that is a couple of years!

5. My Fancy Pants Birthday Party— I had a lot of fun creating the Fancy Pants birthday party with tongue in cheek printables, handmade hats, lots of glitter, and all homemade gourmet food. (And, while the photos are not fabulous… I’m really proud of all the DIY posts that came out of this party.)

6. The Cherry Blossoms Wedding photo shoot that I styled and helped put together. I am over the moon that it was featured on Hostess with the Mostess.

Now, what have you made that you are super proud of? I’d love to hear about it/see it!
