Retro wedding veil

I love this, I totally would do this if I could go back in time.  It's something different than the traditional wedding veil and it's adorable.  Plus, with the right dress, you can pull off a very chic retro look.  Another plus?  Easy to make one yourself and save the big bucks!  Here's Hannah Handmade to show us how.

Wedding Invitation Party

In my book, I talk about how getting a group together and knocking down some items from the to-do list.  You get to spend time with friends and you get some stuff done.  The Funky Junkie does this perfectly!  Look at her beautiful invitations and they look like they had so much fun doing them!  Check out her pictures here.

How to mix a work space and baby space

Ok, parents, I'm looking at you.  Baby on the way and it's taking over your life and home?  Good!  Then you're on the right track.  But it can get tough mixing one space with another and having them both work the you need them to.  Check out the Lovely Residence, a great blog for thrifty creative DIY ideas.  Nikki is hilarious too, she's fun to read.

Summer is here, does your door need to show it?

Here in dreary Minnesota, we get about a month of summer so we celebrate it big time.  Almost no one is inside, everyone grills everything for every meal (French toast on the grill?  Sure! Cheerios?  You can eat that in November), and everything gets beachy for a few weeks.  So when I ran across this over at Brandi's B. Cheniful blog, I thought it was perfect for our six week summer-palooza.
