<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I've been thinking about some cute little gifts to make for Thanksgiving. Something you can give to people in your office, neighborhood or even as a parting favor for those who come over for Thanksgiving Dinner.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I LOVE candied and caramel apples but sometimes they are a little tricky to eat so when I saw this idea I jumped on it! They are so cute and perfect for a sweet little Thanksgiving gift.</span></div>

<b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First up </b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">... The Richard family is undergoing it's first RENOVATION and I'm talking a complete gut job! We are remodeling our guest bathroom! When we first bought the home it was the only room that really needed some work and after three years, it's finally getting it! Now when I say the Richard family ... I mean it ... Mike's Dad is doing all the work! We are so grateful he is helping us with this project. </span></div>

I believe though it will all be worth it in the end ... and I've been having quite a bit of fun with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The final sneak peak isn't really a peak .. rather, something I have been putting a lot of creative thought into. I have decided on something and the sneak peak is letting you in on my decision. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been mulling back and forth between whether to stay as a Blogspot Blogger or jump on the WordPress band wagon. After much deliberation I have decided to take the WordPress plunge. After all you should practice what you preach right? I have created quite a bit of WordPress websites for clients ... shouldn't my site be one as well?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While this will take some time to completely configure, I think it will help take me to the next level while combining my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WampDesigns?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a>, Design Services and Blog all into one. I also hope this will make my brand more cohesive and that my readers can see the whole ball of wax! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its been a while since I've done one of these but that is most likely because I haven't put new items up in the shop for a while. Recently I have been working on some fun and spooky Halloween prints and invites. While learning my way through the first year and a half of being an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WampDesigns?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> Owner and Blogger I've realized that planning is a BIG BIG part. However what I am learning this holiday season is that planning WAY WAY in advance is much needed. A note that I will take down and be sure to implement next year. {basically start planning for Christmas in July} </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While my mind is dreaming up everything Thanksgiving and fall, we are not quite there yet. So I thought I'd get into the holiday spirit ... a little bit. When I think of Halloween I think treats! However I want something more than just a bag of assorted chocolate bars, I wanted something that kids could give their friends or teachers, something that you could give co-workers in the office or something for yourself to just snack on!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I was wasting hours away on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jdsweeney/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> I came across this fun idea! Its just cute enough that kids get it but not so cutesy that adults can get on board as well!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I decided to make my own little spin on it ... BOO MIX!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You'll only need four ingredients:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Golden Grahams</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mini Marshmallows</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Candy Corn</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Chocolate Chips </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You'll also need a large bowl and some individual bags.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As far as measurements go ... eyeball it to make sure you have an even amount off all ingredients. I mixed mine by hand, but if your germ conscious then use a wooden spoon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've all seen it ... walking through the store in the middle of August and BAM Christmas stuff is already out. Did we skip Halloween and Fall??? What is going on here? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems like every year the stores put out holiday stuff sooner and sooner. I am convinced it is a week earlier each year and we just haven't caught on yet! I have NEVER been a fan of this, sometimes it REALLY bothers me that I refuse to even look at the holiday sections in stores .. I like to give each holiday their time, so I created:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I came up with this years ago when I first moved out into my own apartment and started decorating for the holidays. I like to give myself guidelines .. and if those guidelines have dates .. even better! {I know some of you are thinking I am crazy right now but it really helps when you have a game plan ... for anything} </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I know that these are just the holidays at the end of the year ... but lets face it ... those are usually the most important and the ones your decorate for. If your putting shamrocks up in March ... More power to ya! But that's not in my game plan ... for now. So when it gets towards the end of the year ... this is what I follow:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Halloween</b> {not fall - I'm talking ghosts, goblins and jack-o-lanterns} go up ... October 1st</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Thanksgiving</b> {here is the fall stuff pumpkins, scarecrows, hay} go up ... November 1st</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Christmas</b> {in all its glory} go up ... December 1st</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>And of course as the new decorations go up the others come down and Christmas stays till after the new year.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not going to lie, sometimes I get the urge to "pre-decorate" but I never give in {or at least haven't yet} Its just not fair to the holiday that gets the shortened timeline.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So October 1st has come and gone and where is my post about Halloween decorations?!?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well to be honest ... I was a little busy with the whole <a href="http://wampdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/10/becomingtherichards.html" target="_blank">wedding thing</a> and </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will say that we don't go all out for Halloween ... in fact ... sometimes we don't decorate for it a all! {like this year} However when we have a family with small children I vow to do more with that holiday. For the time being though .. Mike actually really dislikes Halloween so we keep it low key.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If your like me though and are looking for a few subtle touches to your home to show some Halloween Spirit check out some of the prints I have in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WampDesigns?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">shop</a>. A fun framed print could be just enough for your home or office {hey .. I used to decorate my cubicle ;) }</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now what does that entail? Well to be honest I'll be figuring that out as I go along but I plan to share with you {like I do all my creations} everything that I find, is part of creating a marriage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What I'd like to share today is what Mike and I did to help get us off on the right foot - Premarital Counseling. While this was something that our pastor required we found it not only helpful but fun too. We used the book "<a href="http://www.christianbookstore.net/saving-your-marriage-before-it-starts-expanded/catalog-27228/" target="_blank">Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts</a>" by Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott, along with the books we had a <a href="http://www.christianbookstore.net/saving-your-marriage-before-it-starts-mens/catalog-27219/" target="_blank">Workbook For Men</a> and <a href="http://www.christianbookstore.net/saving-your-marriage-before-it-starts-womens/catalog-27223/" target="_blank">Workbook For Women</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea was that each week we would read one or two chapters and fill out the exercises in our workbooks {separately} - then we would sit down and go over our answers. This usually sparked conversation that we might otherwise would not have had if we weren't prompted to. We would than go and sit down with our pastor and discuss with him what we talked about.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Full Disclaimer - Mike and I have been together for 6 years and have lived together for 3 of those.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That being said there were some exercises that really opened our eyes to things about each other that we didn't know after 6 years or that we thought we knew but didn't fully understand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It covers:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your personal rules as an individual </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dividing home and life duties </span></li>

</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really believe going through this brought us closer and strengthened our bond. It forced us to talk about uncomfortable things, come to resolutions to fights that could have broken out if we did not confront it, and learn more about each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would highly recommend this book and workbooks to anyone that is engaged to be married, I would also recommend this book to people who are already married. I felt it really helped us.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is officially done, the wedding I have been planning for a year an a half has come and went. I must say it was the perfect two days {yes I am counting Friday as part of my wedding too} if I could go back and do it over again .... I wouldn't change a thing! I am truly blessed to be able to say that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course I plan to go into detail about the entire event however I have decided to wait until I get my pictures from my photographer to do that ... I feel its the only way to really show you how amazing it was. In the meantime - I don't want to leave you hanging so I will share with you what I am calling </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We {like many weddings now-a-days} decided to come up with a hashtag so all our guests that shared pictures on Social Media could use it and it would be easy for us to find. Below are pictures that are directly from that hashtag. In no particular order.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My bridal shower was a few weekends ago and boy was it special, so special that I have decided to share it with you all in two parts. The first part {today} I want to share with you how beautiful it was! My girls did a great job with everything, especially Marie. They took the <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jdsweeney/bridal-shower/" target="_blank">Bridal Shower Pinterest Board</a> and made it come alive. While I did insist on helping with some of the printable decor {for my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WampDesigns" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> purposes of course} It was really nice to just enjoy the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shower was at Shoogie Boogies in downtown Sarasota. It is a quaint little place, hidden off the street, with a lush garden setting. Since it was early September {still REALLY hot} we were inside - A beautiful room, that was actually shipped over from England, and went perfectly with the theme.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lets start with invitation .... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was a project put together by my cousin <a href="http://wampdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/09/bridesmaid-series-amanda.html" target="_blank">Amanda</a>. She gathered all the selfies and memories from my bridesmaids and put together this frame. I had helped her print them since she was not going to be able to attend the shower {she lives in Buffalo} and then much to my surprise ... not only did she fly in to surprise me she brought my Grandma Sweeney and Aunt Amy!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Saturday ... or rather, tomorrow is Grandparent's Day. While its not as common or celebrated as Mother's and Father's Day I think it is quite important. After all a lot of times grandparents are your first baby sitters, first friends, first role models and of course ... the first to spoil you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been lucky enough in life to know my grandparents - in fact both are still alive on my mothers and fathers side. They have both taught me a great deal and they have both made a major impact on my life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I lived with my fathers parents {Gram and Pop Sweeney} on weekends when I lived up in Buffalo ... Poppy always let me watch my favorite movie {Home Alone} on my rocking chair in front of the TV. Gram ... well she is special, I could spend paragraphs talking about how special she is to me but I will save that for another date and time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marie { or Mary VonOsterhousen as I like to call her } met back in 2006.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you haven't already heard the story as we like to tell it so much, we met at a Halloween Party where we showed up in the same costume ... GASP! Yes! The thing is, it wasn't even a common costume ... it was a sexy plumber for heaven's sake ... I mean really!?! Needless to say after the initial "Oh, no she didn't" we became fast friends as her husband {boyfriend at the time} and I had a little too much to drink and were dealing with our sicknesses in the same bathroom. How about that for TMI early on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While our early years of friendship centered around drinking, dancing and gossiping our friendship has since flourished into what I can only describe as a sisterhood. She is someone who truly has your best interest at heart and really does feel for you, your situations and your family. She is someone who will sit and actually cry with you because she feels the pain your feeling rather than just wiping your tears.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know that her and I are a match made in heaven because the partners that we have chosen to spend our lives with are the counter parts of us. Let me explain that in better words ... I am Jason (her husband) and she is Mike (my soon to be husband) and if we have chosen life partners exactly like each other then we must be perfect for each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marie is compassionate, loyal, truthful, intelligent and an overall good person which is hard to find in this day and age. The sense of humor that we share is not often found in others - which is why we are the only ones laughing a lot of the time. She is one of the best people I could have standing by my side on the most important day of my life. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chelsea and I met about 6 or 7 years ago at a bar ... this is hilarious considering the kinds of people we are. Chelsea is what I'd like to call my sanity friend .. when there is something crazy going on or if we end up in weird situations we can give each other one look and know we are on the same even ground when everyone else if flying off the handle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A lot of times friends come to me for advice - maybe its because I give it so freely ;) - but Chelsea she is my friend I go to for advice. She always has a good, moral, educated way of looking at things. Speaking of educated .. this girl is going to be an Electrical Engineer! Talk about an ambitious smarty pants!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chelsea is always game for an adventure - whether it is an impromptu trip to Las Vegas, signing up for a 5K or a road trip to Texas! She likes to travel and she loves food {as does her husband} which makes a great pair to Mike and I. Although we haven't yet the four of us would make great travel couples ... Chelsea if your reading things ... we should plan something ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only is she a great friend but she is a great person over all who cares for others and is always willing to help. She has a great sense of humor and I love that we find laughter in the silliest of things. Its rare to find such well rounded people in today's society ... so I'm holding on to this one! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday I received the <b>BEST</b> surprise <b>EVER</b>! My cousin Amanda, Aunt Amy and Grandma Sweeney flew down from Buffalo to attend my wedding shower! I knew that my shower would be small since all of our families live out of town and with the wedding just 21 days away I never expected anyone to fly in so soon to them coming back for the wedding. I was a very sweet surprise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving on to my girl ... my first best friend. Amanda and I grew up together from birth {hers} till I moved to Florida. We were the first two grandchildren and as it turns out we were the only girls. We had a very special bond from the beginning and that bond has only strengthened through the years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our family up north is very close - so close that my grandma and aunt's backyards connect. Needless to say Amanda and I spent everyday together that I was with my grandma {every weekend} We would roller skate, play dolls, watch movies, ride on our grandpa's tractor, etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend is my bridal shower ... I'm so excited to see what my girls have put together for me ... I'm positive it will be nothing less than perfection! I'm also super excited because I'll be seeing this lovely lady ... my next bridesmaid in the Bridesmaid Series:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or should I say Kitten. I met Katie when working at Ruby Tuesday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>{I must make a confession here - I wasn't the nicest person the last year I was working there, I was over the restaurant scene and therefore it reflected in my interactions with people there.}</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But Kaite ... she broke through my "tough exterior" and became one of my very favorite people. Katie has a heart, that when she loves you - she really loves you - really cares for your well being and always looks out for you. Our friendship started out more as a partnership as we bar-tended together on the weekends. When you spend hours in a small space with someone constantly interacting together and playing off each other with others you develop a rhythm. It was after just a few shifts together that I knew we'd be friends for life.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Katie is an ambitious young lady - and very intelligent. She is always telling me stories and giving me information about things you wouldn't normally think she would be interested in, but she'll surprise you. She can also talk to anyone about anything - I'm serious - you put her anywhere and she will find something to talk to someone (intelligently) about. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She of course had a fun side - Katie and I regularly had 'Ladies Nights' with our friend Laura and we still try to squeeze them in here and there as life gets busy - one in particular is my favorite. I won't go into great detail but lets just say someone had a little too much to drink and someone else found that someone in the movie theater bathroom passed out with her pants down ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ahhh Laura .. my little Canadian. I met Laura when I first started working at Ruby Tuesday way back in 2005. EVERYONE we came in contact with there thought we were either sisters, twins or mistook us for each other. We never saw it - we have very different features - but it happened almost every night. In fact we had a co-worker that thought we not only looked like each other but that together we looked like Winnie Cooper from the wonder years - and called us Winnie and Mini Winnie.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laura is my non-conventional friend - I don't know what other way to put that. She doesn't follow the main stream trend. She works in fashion {Urban Outfitters Corporate Office} and loves all things beauty products. She always pulls off things I would never dream of and looks effortless doing it! She has a style all her own and that is one of the things I adore about her. She is a risk taker - she might not classify herself as one - but she has picked up and moved her life for her love and her dreams on different occasions {and it has paid off}</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laura and I have had many adventures together and many a nights with another bridesmaid {Katie - we'll get to her later} and no matter what we always end up with priceless memories and lots of laughs! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been in the midst of preparation these past couple of weeks, with the wedding just about a month away ... its crunch time. One of my life savers during this time has been my bridesmaids! So I wanted to take the next seven ... yes seven ... posts to highlight each of my girls. First Up:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Courtney is my cousin on my mom's side - however we didn't actually meet until I was about 10 years old. When Courtney was young she was the epitome of a sweet little girl. Hair always in curls, cute hand sewn dresses - always, and a smile. Courtney lived in Buffalo for quite a while and then moved to Florida - she may have moved back and forth a few times. While we were family we weren't very close growing up due to distance ... that is until her 19th birthday.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mom had told me that Courtney was going through a break up and could really use some fun to distract her ... the rest is history. From then on we became such great friends and better family. We even attempted cooking Thanksgiving Dinner for our entire family one year - We were lucky to find our friendship at the most fun points in our lives - our early 20's</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The adventures we have been on together are both hilarious and endless. Whether it be mud sliding at a concert, going to the beach in February, Bills games in below 0 temps, or that one time we got those bow ties?? She has always had a good spirit about doing new things.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mike and I have recently changed our eating lifestyle to Clean Eating, basically if it does not have a mother or grow from the ground ... don't eat it. For me this is challenging since I love white pasta and bread and would have a sugar IV if it wouldn't kill me. With clean eating it requires a lot of fresh foods - so I have upped my grocery game to once a week! {for a family with no kids ... that a lot}.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I use this template for each trip, I can plan the meals I will cook that week. In hind sight this probably wasn't the best week to document since Mike is going out of town on Thursday so I won't be cooking big dinners while he is gone. Anyways I write down my meals and then survey my kitchen to see what ingredients I already have and which ones I need.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like many people are doing now-a-days we are going to have a photo booth at our wedding. It is really a great deal and something fun for your guests. In many cases each person in the booth gets a copy of the photo and an album is made for the bride and groom of all the photos taken that night. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In our case (and I believe in most) the photos are unlimited - what more could you ask for?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While the company we rented the booth from will be supplying fun props for the booth I wanted to make some fun props myself. I saw some great ones to buy on Etsy but I couldn't see spending upwards of $50 for something so little ... and not able to be customized.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I started spinning my wheels and came up with this idea ... best part - I could create about 10 for only $5.00!! Lets start with the supplies:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once I sketched out enough that I wanted I used the White Paint Pen and traced my sketches. The foam board did soak up quite a bit so I was sure to go over the lines a few times.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also thought it would be easier to write my sayings at this time, although you could also do this after we cut them out on the next step. I wanted to make a few sayings that were fun and a few that were specific to our guests. In our case most of our guests will be coming from Michigan or Buffalo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next step was to take my exacto knife and cut out my speech bubble props. I did this over my rug so I did not make any marks on my hard surfaces. I also left about a half inch outside of the white line - this way it still showed the line and made mistakes less visible. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While just sticking the skewer in the foam held pretty well I wanted to make sure they didn't start falling apart when people started handling them. I took some industrial strength glue and covered the tip of the skewer in it. I put the skewer back in and let it dry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There you have it ... easy as pie! I made seven signs from 2/3 of the foam board so I would estimate you can make about 10 from each board. If your really crafty with your placement or size of the signs you could most likely get 12-15 as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I cam across this quote the other day and thought it was great!! It also gave me an idea for a fun blog post. As a graphic designer I use lots of different elements to make my pieces stand out - Colors, Vectors, Patterns, and of course FONTS!! Fonts are a good way to add whimsy, glamour and structure to anything your working on. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have used these fonts many of times ... some are included in Wamp Design's Logo and some are being used for all my wedding stuff so you can tell I truly love them! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although these are my go to ones I often like to sift through ALL my fonts before making my decision. With the hundreds of fonts I have installed on my computer this can often be a daunting task. Until I found this gem!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OH - EM - GEE this book was addicting ... I couldn't put it down. It was so interesting and suspenseful and you really cared for this person as you read through the book. I don't want to give too much away but it is about a girl going through some issues in life {bad issues} but something catches her eye while on a train and her day dreaming turns reality.</span></div>

Mike and I's first road trip!</i><br /><br />I'll spare you the many many more pictures that I have in my Bills Vault and move on to what I really wanted to talk about ... Fantasy Football. <br /><br />I started playing years ago ... so many years that I don't remember how many ... I would guess 9 or 10. Anyways I started my own league about 7 years ago to help teach my brothers and other friends how to play. {side note: if you've never been in a league it is really hard to get someone to let you "learn" in their league ... people take this stuff seriously} <br /><br />Unlike most leagues I hold a Live Draft {for those of you that don't play - a lot of leagues draft online in an automated draft room on ESPN or CBS Sports}. During a live draft everyone gets together and we write down our pics on a draft board. This is harder because you have to pay attention to who has already been taken and have your own rankings printed out {although I provide ESPN's rankings} and of course commentary from everyone else. However it is SO MUCH MORE FUN - and an excuse to eat pizza and wings - as if you should need one.<br /><br />My friend - and owner of a fantasy team in my league - Gavin had the great idea of creating a draft board and printing it out of a plotter {blueprint printer} rather than buying the Fantasy Draft Kit online which can be $100+<br /><br />So that is what we have done each year</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO8nmruuyOvVv76Lwb2pcGEIw_K8iwVJyUl4RnvUbF8donHw0pMhETwdeUTnR-3IcCAanu_K8MTD3Ie1lyQH5QMftd4tF5PIg6cMmcR5PCOQDf2BsO9aer90P6OJl3tsnIjgI0XqtLk8c/s1600/ff_board.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Printable Fantasy Football Boards" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO8nmruuyOvVv76Lwb2pcGEIw_K8iwVJyUl4RnvUbF8donHw0pMhETwdeUTnR-3IcCAanu_K8MTD3Ie1lyQH5QMftd4tF5PIg6cMmcR5PCOQDf2BsO9aer90P6OJl3tsnIjgI0XqtLk8c/s640/ff_board.jpg" title="Printable Fantasy Football Boards" width="640" /></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">So why am I sharing this with you? Other than I love to share that I'm a Bills fan every chance I can get?<br /><br />I am now selling these <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/241684976/printable-fantasy-football-board-46-x-36?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Printable Fantasy Football Draft Boards</a> in my Etsy Shop</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have mine printed at Florida Blueprint here in Sarasota but any Blueprint Shop will do. The one listed in my shop is a standard 12 man league with 16 rounds - however I can always accommodate larger or smaller leagues as well as additional rounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">If you haven't had a live draft for your league yet - maybe this is the year to try it out!</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So when it came time for me to make my girls some cute shirts I wanted to do something different. I have seen these awesome T-Shirts all over <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/jdsweeney/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and thought it would be a great idea to make them for my girls and use quotes that reminded me of them.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First I searched for just the right quote for each one of them and pinned them to my Secret Wedding Board {side note: if you are a bride I highly recommend the secret wedding board for ideas you don't want people to steal or gifts you don't want people to know about} </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to maintain the slouchy grey shirt look - I purchased mine at Forever 21 in the basics section. I got grey for the girls and white for me.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next I went to Michael's Craft Store and got <a href="http://www.michaels.com/transfermations-design-and-iron-transfer-sheets-for-dark-colors%2C-10-count/10117558.html#q=transfers&start=7" target="_blank">printable iron on transfers</a>. Now here is where I had to change my game plan - I wanted to just have the letters but come to find out there is no "transparent background" iron ons. Then I was like "well maybe i'll cut out all the letter individually" but with seven girls and some long quotes I would still be making them after the wedding. So I went with the ransom letter look.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was the first time I used printable iron on transfers and they were quite easy to work with. I simply printed what I wanted, cut it out accordingly, peeled off the back {didn't do that on the first one and the iron let me know about it}, placed a piece of wax paper over top and held the iron on for a short minute.</span></div>
