Happy National Craft Month!

March is National Craft Month!!!!!

Yay Happy March everyone! I'm so excited that March is finally here because that means that we're that much closer to it officially being Spring so hopefully the wonderful Spring weather will follow closely behind. Of course, I already have my doubts considering we're supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow this weekend, ugh! Why is that it can be nice and sunny, mid 40s-50s allllllll Winter, and then as soon as March nears and the first day of Spring is in sight on the calendar, we get snow?!! Figure it out already Mother Nature! I wanna see the green grass, fresh blooms and hear the birds chirping already!

Well for March, I'm going to be taking full advantage of it being National Craft Month. Hobby Lobby, Joann's Fabric and Michael's are all having awesome sales and promotions that are going to be happening all month long. Awesome! Last weekend I got a head start and I made all of our wedding table number holders and they turned out way cuter than I had pictured....as soon as I find my camera cord, I'll get a picture posted. Also, each of these stores always has a 40% off coupon available on their website so even if an item isn't included in their sales, I know this helps me to cut costs too. Jordan has also been very helpful to come along with me to all of these stores to help buy stuff with a second 40% off coupon since I can only use one per visit. What a great guy....not like he really had a choice in coming with me or not, but what a great guy nonetheless!

Here's what I have lined up to complete throughout the month of March:
-Our table number signs: We're using pictures of us at each age that corresponds to the table number so I'm excited to see the fun pictures of each of us growing up
-Monogram E wreath for the head table
-Mailbox decal for card box
-Ribbon on the bubbles (not much of a craft but just something that needs to be done)
-Collecting paint chips for the place cards

Whewww!! Looks like I've got quite the to-do list ahead of me but thankfully, I'm already stocked up on supplies for almost all of those projects! I love DIY's and I'm so happy that my wedding is full of them. There's nothing more special and unique than knowing that everything at the wedding was done by either myself, my mom or someone close in my life. Here's to making March one hell of a crafty month and the wedding kick ass one DIY project at a time!
