VALENTINE'S DAY

Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday!
Taylor and I avoided the crowds, stayed in last night and ordered some wine and sushi. We might make a trip to Ojai tomorrow for a day date.  Definitely looking forward to that, haven't had a day outdoors for a really long time. 

My mom had a stack of construction paper she wanted to throw out, and my pack-rat ways couldn't help but take them home with me!  I decided to use them  to make these flowers  and brighten up the apartment for Valentine's day using this tutorial from a wedding that my friend Frances showed me back when I was wedding planning.  Pretty simple to make, and all the supplies needed were already at home.

THEY SAY YOU HAVE A YEAR RIGHT? // We finished our thank you cards!

For our wedding thank you cards, we wanted to avoid a situation like this, which we got ourselves into while we were making these.  So this time around, we tried to find a way to do something really simple and affordable and something that did not involve any remote form of cutting, scoring, folding or going to printing places of any kind!  And yet, even with all these precautionary measures, we still managed to take forever!  I think once we exited wedding mode, it was really hard to get back into it.  (Hmmm, so tonight- should I eat ice cream on the couch with Taylor and watch NetFlix, or should I write thank you cards?)  But anyway, here we are, fully aware that it is over 8 months after the wedding, but nevertheless, we are still totally pumped and ready to send these puppies out as if we got married yesterday! 








Also, we've been wondering:
We got some awesome salmon colored towels and a beautiful white plate and cup set set with pink flowers, both from Amazon delivered as a wedding gift, but were not able to tell who gave us those. If you gave us either of those gifts and happen to be reading this, please let us know, because we love them both and really want to be able to thank you personally for them! 

And of course, many thanks to the lovely:
EPLove for the city photo, and Cakeflix for the night time photo which is actually a screenshot of the amazing wedding video they made for us!

LES INVITATIONS// On their way to a mailbox near you!

Just wanted thank my mom, my brother josh, and especially my Auntie Ruth (She was working around the clock while I was at work!!) for helping me out with the manual labor behind these invitations. They were such a help, and you know your family loves you when they are willing to spend their nights tying bows and cutting paper instead of relaxing or having a life!
