About Me

My photo
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!

Milk glass vases

I got these clear vases at the swapmeet, 2 of them for $1!  They were filthy!  Look how much better it looks painted white...


 I'll use a few of them around places like the guest book table, just with 1-2 different flowers in each like this pic

DIY Chalkboard & Spraypaint Frame

The before pic (well I started spray painting and then remembered to take a pic!) bad blogger.

 Spray the chalkboard paint on the glass mirror, 2 coats
 Finished product!
I think I would like the black chalkboard spray paint better than the old school green (I didn't even realize I got the green)...my friend, Megan, has a can of black so I'll definitely be trying that one out!

Mmmm desserts...

There are so many fun desserts out there, look at these cake pops, pie pops & macaroons!



Yummmy!

Color Schemes

Here's  pic of some colors that I think would go well with our scheme (for mothers, grandmothers, etc)...
Boo, I've been so sick the last few days.  I think I've already sneezed probably 100 times today.  Anyways, I wanted to share some good news.  There's this wedding site I go on every day, weddingbee.com, and they have all these different sections; a classified section, a DIY section, a gallery, blog, etc.  You get the point :)  Well, I just posted a picture of my DIY table numbers and fabric pomander balls in the DIY section and got all these offers of people wanting to buy them after the wedding!!  That's amazing news, considering I wasn't even trying to sell them...yet.  It's nice to know that I'll at least be making back a little bit of the $$ I'm spending now!!  Ok, back to bed now.
