Project Dress Up Week 8

Last week was challenging

my hubby AKA my camera man

was out of town and I had to somehow 

document my looks on my own.

There is only so much you can capture of yourself 

with one arm stretched out as far as it goes.

Hubby and I are going to combine our birthday presents this year

and buy a new camera!

with as many pictures as I take a good camera has become a necessity

I think a tripod is also a must have :)

I wasn't very proud of my outfits this week

they were a bit to safe

and while I hate to admit it

I wore JEANS at-least 3 times...

BAD Chelsea!

I'm dragging a bit this morning, 

we got home late last night from another long trip to visit family

we had a good time and there wasn't too mush drama

Thank Goodness

I talked my husband in to letting me go to an estate sale and a few thrift stores

I found some really great treasures and hardly spent a dime

I'll show them off soon!

Well off to work now- have a great Monday!

Extending an Invitation

Don't you just hate when you have big big plans

and then they all seem to fall apart? 

That just happened to me :(

See, I was going to put together a really supper terrific party

I mean what could be more fun than a Carnival Soiree Party?

I was going to dress up like a clown, make a carnival theme digital scrap-booking kit 

and oh so much more

but dang it all I must take a little trip

so I'll leave you all with the party details 

and hopefully you might be able to say hello to everyone for me

Where: Faerie Enchantment

When: This Saturday!

Fairytale Party Hats are available in my Lollishop!

Now Go! 

Clown Around

Have a grand ol' time!

Hugs~

P.S. I was just visiting some blogs 

and saw my old studio featured in Paper Cakes Finds post today! 

I bet you can all guess which studio is mine :)

I DO: promise to take Project Dress Up to the extremes!

It all started with a pair of tickets...

for a special night out on the town

 

And my silly, wonderful...

handsome husband who agreed to play along

As silly as my request was

my wonderful husband agreed to play along in the most 

outrageous Project Dress Up yet!

Because 

He LOVES Me!

Life is too short not to be silly

And life is defiantly too short to only wear your wedding gown ONCE!

This Project Dress Up meant so much to me

My Jimbob was very sick on our wedding day 

and so the festivities ended in the afternoon

this was our second chance to live out the second half 

of our wedding day!

And feel oh sooooo

PRETTY!

It was a day full of fun and romance!

A Day full of magic!

I Love You

Jimmy!

and my best pal Alissa too

for sharing the day with us

and capturing all if our silly wonderful moments

Alissa is an amazing artist and a constant source of inspiration for me

You should take a little jog over to her New blog... she has no comments yet :(

P.S. the fun isn't quite over!

You can read a special interview I did all about my "real" wedding .

Lindsay of Things with Wings asked if I could share a bit about how I planned my wedding on a teeny tiny little budget. There are also some photos over there that I have never before shared with you all. :)

Happy Monday Everyone!

The great Big Black Things that have loomed against the horizon of my life,

 threatening to devour me, simply loomed and nothing more.

 The things that have really made me miss my train 

have always been sweet, soft, pretty, pleasant things 

of which I was not in the least afraid.

As I move past my disappointments and hurts 

which came back to me so suddenly last week

I realize that life is so wonderful and sweet

and I should not bother with the past

but think fondly of my future 

and pursue all things which make me most happy

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
