6 Months...

...from today and I'll Mrs. Sajkowicz!!! Wow...can u beleive it already?! Time sure has been flying by and this wedding will be here before we know it! :) Plans are going well, kinda slow right now, though. My dress finally came in! And we had to reschedule the girls dresses for Sun, March 22nd because of the stupid snow. I'll let you know how that day goes...pics will definitely be posted! Just NO peeks of me with my dress on! hehehe


Anyway, I sure hope this warm weather comes soon...I'm NOT liking the cold anymore. Except for the fact that it does give me more time to play in my craft corner! Speaking of crafts, I've started to sell some of my creations on Etsy.com. Click on the Etsy link to the right of my posts. Hope I make some extra money for the wedding! :)


So I talked to Stacey, our photographer today, and we've decided to have our Engagement pictures taken in the beginning of May. I want warm, sunny weather! :) And I'm super excited!



That's all for the update right now...chat VERYsoon...I promise!!! :)

P.S. Congrats to my cousin Jaclyn, and her husband, Marcel on the birth (March 4th) of their daughter, Sadie Lavina Gervais...can't wait to meet her!

No new cards to post today, although, I've taken a bunch of pics of the ones I have created, and just need to upload them...definitely need to find the time to do that. teehehehe

Daddy's Birthday, More wedding planning, & a couple Card Creations...

It's the last day of January (Happy Birthday Daddy!) and I just realized that I haven't posted in weeks...soooo sorry! I can't believe February is around the corner and I'll be the BIG 25 in 10 days...crazy! Tim & I have been busy with the wedding planning now, which is ever creeping up on us SO extremely fast! Only 7 more months! The planning, though, is coming along really well...we not only have our venue (Tyrone Farm), but our caterer (Matthew's Catering), our talented photographer, Stacey, with Stacey M. Photography, and a DJ who surprisingly Tim actually took care of (Terry Sumnor)! And our Save-the-Dates are all *handmade by me* and sent! Next things to take care of: the cake, the flowers, my dress, and my girls' dresses! So much more to dooo!

I have been doing some crafting tho...don't think I wouldn't neglect that! hehee :) I'm leaving you with a sympathy card I made for a close friend of the family, as well as a birthday card for my cousin's lil one. Hope to chat with you reallll soon...Enjoy! :)

Christmas is everywhere...

Life's been crazy...

Hi all! Hope everyone's doing well out there! I know its been awhile...and again I apologize. But let's get down to business! :)

Monday night I hosted my first Stampin Up! Party and I must say, it was a great success. I had 10 lovely ladies show up ready to get crafty and create! I am sooo excited about joining Stampin Up! and becoming a demonstrator (which will most likely be after the holidays). I have such a love for paper and all those crafts alike that dates back to when I was 2 or 3 years old (just ask my mom for the story on that..tehehehe)! :)

So I came home from Kaia's Christening and family party Sunday afternoon to see a scrapbooking corner built in my room! Tim hated to see the pile-up of scrapbook and paper craft things scattered throughout my room, so he made me my own space! :) He's he so wonderful! It's nothing too spectacular and not that much room, but it does the job and I couldn't be any happier! :) I will have pics up soon, I promise!

Can u believe that Thanksgiving is only 9 days away!? Holy-cow! Where has November gone?! That means I better start on the Christmas shopping ASAP annnnddd snow is about to fall. Boohoo! :(

Tim and I celebrated our one year anniversary on November 9th...it definitely flew by! I can't wait to see what the rest of our future holds. :)

Happy Belated Birthday goes out to my sister, Erin (Nov.5th), and my cousins (husband and wife) Mike & Jessie (Nov. 3rd and 4th). And to their daughter, Sarah (Nov. 10th) and to my cousin Ryan's son, Logan (Nov. 26th). WOW! So many November babies! :)

And finally, I'm leaving you with a scrapbook page/keepsake creation I made a while ago for my good friend, Brooke. I took her to her first EVER Boston Red Sox game back in May. I used some Red Sox stickers and the team colors for my paper. I found some cute 'Play Ball' ribbon that also coordinated with the team colors. Love it! :) (sorry the 2nd picture is a little blurry...the scrapbook page is displayed in a 12x12 black frame.)



Stay tuned...I hope to post more creations later today. Have a great Wednesday!

P.S. Like my new signature I designed above?! :)

"dont let your mind not let you have fun" - jason mraz

On Saturday, we hosted our 9th Annual Erin B. Lugauskas Memorial Scholarship Halloween
Benefit Dance (wow...thats a mouthful! hahaha)! It was defintiely another success! Thanks to all who attended and contributed...we could have NOT done it without you! Here are just a few pics of the night:

I'm such a slacker...

WOW...i've really been slacking! I haven't posted (or blogged, should I say) in over a month! I'm sooo sorry! Well, let's see where I last left off...

• Tim and I are offically having our wedding ceremony and reception at Tyrone Farm in Pomfret, CT on Saturday, September 12th, 2009...so my very own handmade Save The Dates may be coming very soon to a mailbox near you! :)


• I went dress shopping with my mom the other day to Classic Images. I found one that I absolutely L-O-V-E! Maybe I'll post pics of it later...I haven't put a deposit on it yet, but I'm hoping to within the next week or so!
  
• The 9th Annual Erin B. Lugauskas Memorial Scholarship Halloween Benefit Dance is creeping up on us...Saturday, Nov. 1st. Mom, Sam, and I have been workin our butts off trying to get the raffle baskets done, tickets sold, running around, and somehow finding our own Halloween costumes in the mix. Email me for more information about this fun event!


• I am absolutely loving the fall season and I am sooo excited that Tim and I chose this season to have our wedding! Here's a little pic of my celebration...Happy Fall! :)

Meisha - 12 weeks old

• And a few cards that I've worked on:

I sent this one to my Grandma in Florida!

and this Birthday card was for Tim's mom...

I think that's all for the update right now. Tonight Tim's taking Mason & Meisha to their vet appointment...while I'm going to a StampinUp! demonstrators house to get the insight and low-down on how to become one, as well as hosting my own party! I can't wait! :) Talk to you all very soon!

Have a good evening!!! xoxoxo

Just some stuff...

Wow its DEF been awhile since I've last posted last and it's been a busy few days and weeks! Its the usual work, we checked out Tyrone Farm for the 2nd time as a possible wedding ceremony and reception area, and on Friday the 12th, the ever-needed nose surgery for my deviated septum and my sinuses...what fun! Everything fortunately went very well and as of today, I feel great...like a totally new person! :)

I know I've told many of you about my wedding theme being sunflowers and the fall since its in September and I was searching the web and came across this ultimate color inspiration by kwernerdesign! I love it! It's so perfect for me! All I need now is to book the Tyrone Farm site and we're in business! :)

Now just a little reminisicing of going back to almost a year ago when Tim and I first met (10.31.07)...this is the first picture we took together...and also one of my all-time faves! :)

- an 8x8 scrapbook page:

and

- a 12x12 scrapbook page:

Aren't we just so cute?! :) I'll try not to neglect you all out there again for soooo long next time...hope everyones doing well!

Business Advertisement

Hi all! Hope everyone had a great weekend...and weren't too washed away by tropical storm Hanna. :) My weekend wasn't too eventful, so I decided that I wanted to show you a few photos of my newest stamp to my scrapbooking/card-making collection...my Business Advertisment stamp:

A little blurry, but I use this stamp on the back of all my card making creations. I've gotta give myself credit somewhere now, right?! :)

So I weathered the rain this weekend and helped Tim and his dad (and Meisha joined, too) sell some mums, pumpkins, and Indian corn. I took a bunch of pictures there of Meisha and Tim and some creative ones, as well. I'll have those up soon! These things definitely got me into the Fall Season spirit...I'm kinda excited for fall now. :) I took home some Indian corn and I'm going to make some decoration swags with them. Don't worry, I'll have those pics up too when I finish those. Depending on how my swags come out, I'm thinking about selling them. You'll have to let me know what you think. That's all for now. Talk to you all later!

Keepsake Creation

Happy (thirsty) Thursday Morning to all! :) I've definitely been busy tryin to take pictures of all the work I've done and upload them to my computer to eventually put up on here. It seems like its taking me forever! But anyway, I was looking around my room to see what kind of Keepsake Creations I have come up with and...TA-DA! It was staring me right in the eye! It's a frame I created with one of my favorite pictures of Tim and I. :) What do you think?! Do you have a favorite picture that you want framed creatively? I'm more than happy to do it...feel free to contact me at ppcreations@live.com! Talk to you all very soon!



P.S. I also want to wish a VERY Happy 26th Anniversary to my mom and dad! I love you two so very much! I don't know who and where I'd be now if it werent't for you guys! xoxoxo
