Does everyone question their sanity? Or am I just a weirdo? The latter probably. Okay, so, technically I am not having a typical 'wedding.' I'm tying the knot inside of a LDS Temple- which is nixing all of the hoopla of a true wedding. But I am having a Reception to be able to share the time with my beloved family and friends; since there will be a Reception, I am going to have a few of the traditional things going on.
The underlying theme for my Reception has got to be "DIY'. For all of you who aren't as Pinterest- savvy it stands for "Do It Yourself." It didn't start out that way, no, it didn't. But I found myself checking the prices of things and that is when I knew that I should at least give it a shot at making a thing or two. And so it began: I blinged out a chalkboard, I painted a few things, I sowed, I stoned, I labored over my craft. And, boy, did I feel CRAFTY when I had that final result.
Then there was the time I hot glued my fingers together with the high- temp glue gun (multiple times), or when I spent over 5 hours stoning one heel, or when I bought 200 bubbles to design for our exit- that is when I felt CRAZY.

But, overall, I love making things. I love showing off a project that has weighed on my mind until I tackled it. I love holding it up, with a hint of a quiver in my voice, as I explain the hardships associated with it, yet how willing I was to do it. So, to answer my own creepy question, I like to think that I'm crazily crafty or craftily crazy- whatever ;)
