About Me

San Diego, CA
Welcome to my blog! I'm Shawndene and I started this when planning my dream vintage/rustic-inspired wedding, which was on September 17, 2011. I've decided to keep this blog, although I will no longer be posting wedding-related posts (ok, maybe just a few because I can't help myself)! You'll find mostly DIY crafts, baking, who knows what else...anything I'm into for the moment probably :) Please feel free to comment on any of my posts! Thanks for stopping by!

Bridal Shower Fun!

My 2 future SIL's won the "Who Knows The Bride Best" game :)
 Melanie went above and beyond with this dessert spread!

 My mom got me a beach cruiser!  Isn't it so cute?!
 All 7 of my bridesmaids :)  Love these girls!
 Sisters :)
 My mama & I :)
 My future MIL & I :)
 Mutt Pack girls!

I can't even believe how lucky I am to have such amazing women in my life.  My sister threw me the best bridal shower I could ever imagine with the help of my future sisters in law and mom.  The day was so much fun & we got so many great gifts!

Shoes!


Got my wedding shoes!!  Next, wedding jewelry!
One bad thing about not working graveyards anymore is that I don't post nearly as often :(  I always had so much time to post at work and it's the opposite now! 

Honeymoon Registry

We finally set up our Honeymoon Registry through Honeyfund.com.  We have a registry at Macy's and Bed, Bath & Beyond for my 2 bridal showers but I think this will be the only registry listed on our wedding website.  Hopefully guests will like the idea that they can donate to our honeymoon fund.  We might add the Macy's registry to our wedding website for the people that wish to do that instead but since we've already been living together we have most of our household items.  Guests will make the payments through paypal and it will go directly to our bank, guests DO NOT need a paypal account to do so, however.

Professional E-pics are in!!

We could not be any happier with how our engagement pictures came out, our photographer is the bomb!!!  We're making a book from Shutterfly that guests can sign at the wedding with the pics and we'll also be using them another way at the wedding...it's a surprise :)  But here are a few of our favorites....
