DIY Bridesmaid Proposal Gift Bag

Alec and I have been engaged since June 10th of last year and time has flown by so quickly since then. You can read more about how Alec proposed to me here. 

We agreed to wait until the summer of 2016 to tie the knot so that I could focus on finishing nursing school and taking the NCLEX. As the last few weeks of college were wrapping up, I decided to do a little crafting. I made gift bags asking my girls if they would be in my wedding. This is a great and inexpensive way to "propose" to the ladies that you want to have by your side on your wedding day.

If you want to make one of your own or pin this for when you tie the knot...here is how:

Re-Connecting to What Brings Me Joy

I've taken a break from blogging. I fell away from it one day in an all of the sudden type of way. I felt like it became more of a chore than anything and that not many people were looking at it, so I stepped back. A lot has happend this year and I've grown a lot in some areas and have fallen away from what I used to love in some other aspects of my life. So, Here I am. I dyed my hair blonde because I needed a change (and blondes have more fun, right?) I'm 5 weeks away from graduating from college. I'm planning a wedding. And now I'm writing again in an attempt to re-connect with what I used to find happiness in. 

Does this ever happen to you? Something stops making you happy, so you let it go only to find yourself missing it down the road?
