our precious journals!
After the previous post I wrote about our inaugural bitchcraft evening I got together with the girls and had a little photoshoot with all of our creations! I still can’t believe how different each of ours turned out. I LOVE THEM!

A little break in the New Year’s To Do list to share an awesome new monthly ritual that I am starting: bitchcraft.
When you sit at a desk in front of a computer all day long you miss making things with your hands. One of the biggest reasons for starting this blog was to make myself step away from the screen, roll up my sleeves and remember how to be resourceful and creative without a mouse attached to my hand.
My friends and I talk about this a lot and decided to quit talking about it and do something about it! So we started bitchcraft evenings. Similar to the popular “stitch ‘n bitch” groups except we don’t know how to knit so we decided to craft instead!

What a beautiful flower I received from one of my piano students at our recital last Sunday! I just had to share.
A new year always brings resolutions; how are you going to make your live better this year, seriously this time. This new year brought a lonnnng to-do list for me. 2010 is already set to be a big year in this household; a long vacation in the spring, a wedding in the fall, a honeymoon in the winter, and TONS of planning in between! That being said, it was a big ol’ slap in the face when that ball dropped that I need to start organizing!!

Getting married next October means that I’m starting (very slowly) to plan our big celebration! One of the very first items on my checklist was to figure out a way to gather my 8 best friends (yes 8!) from their various homes across the country to come down to Raleigh to party, play, and pamper with me. I wanted to make a very special invitation for them since they are such important people in my life and almost automatically I remembered the most precious DIY invitations from one of my favorite wedding blogs, Once Wed. Using that as my guideline I put my own little twists on it and my sister and I had so much fun making them!
