ebb & flow :: weekend wrap up

Friends! I am back from what I’ve dubbed ‘the best 72 hours of my life.’ Seriously. Having my best friends and amazing family all together this weekend to celebrate our upcoming wedding was unreal. I am still coming down from the excitement and the pure exhaustion is finally setting in. I’ll share more of the details tomorrow but until then here are some links from around the web this week:

Bachelorette Weekend June 12, 2013 No Comments

ebb & flow :: bachelorette party

My excitement for this weekend can be summed up in a few words: bachelorette party and wedding shower. It’s really happening, it seems. After months of planning and plotting, wedding festivities are underway! I’ve got my six best gal pals rolling into town for a weekend of speakeasy fun, city sights and an evening on the lake. Throw in another celebration with family to top it off and I’m one happy camper. Full report coming on Monday, after I’ve recovered. It’s only Wednesday but I’m wishing you a great weekend and riding off into the sunset tomorrow. See you on the other side!

ebb & flow :: weekend wrap up

The last couple days have gone by at the perfect pace. There has been time for neighborhood walks, trips to a new frozen yogurt shop, projects with friends, a dash of yard work and some hefty glasses of wine with friends. All in all, I give it two thumbs up and there is still another day to enjoy. I’m off to take advantage of it! Here is a gathering of links from around the web. Enjoy!

I’ve got banana bread in the oven, a friend in-flight to Minnesota and not nearly as much sass as the lady above. Isn’t she perfect to send us into the weekend, though? Here’s to two days of unwinding. Enjoy!

Must Haves June 5, 2013 2 Comments

ebb & flow :: craft supplies

In the last few months years of wedding planning, my craft supply stash has multiplied. There are have been lots of miscellaneous purchases and one-off items, but the eight above are my must-haves for every project. What are yours?

  1. Xacto knife with cover
    The cover is key.
  2. Multipurpose spray mount
    This stuff is the best.
  3. Self-healing cutting mat
    The bigger the better.
  4. Permanent double sided tape
    This stuff is no joke.
  5. Medium wire
    Always comes in handy.
  6. Sewing needles
    An assortment of sizes is best.
  7. Bone folder
    For the sharpest folds.
  8. Cork-backed metal ruler
    The best of the best.

Weekend Wrap Up 6.3 June 3, 2013 No Comments

ebb & flow :: weekend wrap up

I had grand intentions of getting up early yesterday morning, tending to my blogging duties and starting my day with the ‘wrap up’ published but instead I hung out with this guy. So my morning blogging plans turned into late night blogging plans and, more often than not in my life last, night blogging plans are no-blogging plans. But here I am today, making up for lost time and sharing some gems from the web this week. Enjoy!

ebb & flow :: dress fitting

I’m hitting the road for Chicago this weekend. On the top of many items on the agenda: my first wedding dress fitting. I’m hoping all goes well and the popcorn binge I’ve been on this week doesn’t wreak havoc. Whoops! After that adventure I’m celebrating the final days of bachelorette living for a dear friend and toasting to her with a great group of gals. Follow along on Instagram and Twitter for the play-by-play and enjoy your weekend.
