Wedding Wednesday: Free Menu Template!

My husband and I got married at the Weston Red Barn Farm in Weston, Missouri. We placed one of these menu cards at each place setting. Please feel free to use and print for your own use. Click here to download.

Notes about the template:

• The template is set-up for 5.5 by 8.5 - meaning you could cut your 8.5 X 11 paper in half and print at home. The page layout in my word is called, "Statement." 
• The google document loses the font selections, so be sure to actually download it and open it to your computer. The cool font should show up again once you download. Should you have any trouble, I am happy to email it to you.

Enjoy :-)

DIY Monday: Easter Wreath

Introducing...Craft Nights!

This is a really fun project and I am delighted to announce this will be our project at March's craft night. If you haven't heard, Kansas Gal will be hosting monthly craft nights. Our first craft night will be held on Friday March 15 6:30-8 PM and will feature this craft PLUS a surprise bonus craft. That's two crafts for the price of one! All supplies will be provided and wine will be served. 

Register online here today! I look forward to seeing everyone in March for craft night! 

Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday, blog readers! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

I know you all live busy lives - many of you are full time moms and dads, some of you run your own businesses, and many more work full time jobs to support your families - it means so much to me that you would take time to read my blog. Thank you! Since this blog is for readers, or as PBS would say, "viewers like you," (hehehe) let me know what you would like to see here. I would love to hear what kinds of projects and crafts you are interested in.

<---this is me asking...

"What projects and crafts would you like to read about?"

Here in the midwest we are supposed to get even more snow than we did last week. Kansas City got 9 inches (yikes!) and now the national weather service predicts we could get upwards of 10 inches on top of our 9 inches. This means I will be working from home and then when my work is done, working on crafts! Now is the perfect time to let me know what you want to see!

Thank you, again for stopping by. Stay warm and safe!

Thrifty Thursday: Ibotta

My friend, +kara Jursich, started using an app called Ibotta and suggested I start using it to save money in addition to coupon savings. All the user must do is set-up an account, then browse the offers:

Next, the user answers a poll or watches a video or shares on facebook to earn the savings:

Then, shop for your items at one of the listed stores:

After you've shopped for the items, you take a photo of your receipt and the savings are credited to your account after some processing time. Imagine the savings of coupons in addition to Ibotta? I'm excited to try this out! Thanks Kara!

Wedding Wednesday: Paper Doily Bunting

While planning our wedding, I saw lots of ideas online for rustic decorations and one of my favorites was the idea of a paper doily bunting. I got the inspiration from a great blog called Burlap & Lace.

Here is how our version turned out:
