About Me

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!

Shadow Box

I've been wanting to make a shadow box of all the important wedding items that I didn't want to just put away in a box never to be seen again.  So, with a Michael's 50% off coupon, I got the frame and finally went to work!  Here's what's inside the shadow box:

save the date
wedding invitation
cocktail napkin
cake topper
fabric swatch from table runners
Orrin's boutineere
2 yellow flowers from my  bouquet
lace gloves I wore
lace from my mom's wedding veil (which was around my bouquet)
the playing card Orrin used to ask me to marry him
the bible verse that my cousin, Robyn, read for our ceremony




I love the final product!!!
