Just a little update on the home front...

Yes...I know, I suck at blogging. How many times do I have to remind myself!? lol These 3 jobs are kickin my butt! Atleast I really enjoy my 3rd one as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! lol I had my first workshop last week and it went very well...another one booked for this Sunday, as well as one in June! Yayy!

Anyway, some wedding news and updates:

• My dress is here and it fits to a 'T'!!! (except maybe a little heming). The girls dresses are all ordered and the style chosen was one that I definitely had in mind AND i'm still sticking to my original plan of 6 colors! Sooo excited! :) The fitting went SO extremely well...we were in-and-out of Melissa's Bridal within an hour and half--at the most! I'm very excited to have 6 beautiful and down-to-earth girls in my wedding! I couldn't have asked for such better friends! :) Love you girls to death...you all mean the world to me!


• This weekend mom and I are going to the florist to check out some flowers and whatnot...I'm sure sunflowers will be involved!


• I also received allll of my paper and envelopes for my handmade invitations...I better get crackin' on those! I have to create about 100 of them...FUN! :)


• I've been gradually working on my own handmade 'Thank-You' cards, too!


• Our Jack-n-Jill is July 11th--6pm at the Music Lady Cafe in Central Village--tickets are now available $20 for single/$35 for couple...you can get them from one of the members of our wedding party, Tim or me. Any questions, please contact Sam at 860.908.8957, Denise at 860.564.3279, or Alex at 860.949.5923.

On another note, the weather here has been sunny and warm and I'm LOVING it! Also, Special congrats to one of my bridesmaids, Julie and her boyfriend Mike, who are expecting to close on a house any day now! :)

And I'm leaving you with a few new pics of the kids, Mason & Meisha. Sorry, none are of my crafty-ness...I really need to get on the ball with that! lol

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!!! :)

With my own site, you'll be able to order online 24/7, be in-the-know with new products, upcoming workshops, etc., keep in contact with me, and much more, of course! I am sooo excited to be a new demonstrator...I'll get to share my creativity and love for papercrafts with you!

I am gonna be one busy bee...my 2 jobs, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and you can't forget about planning my wedding...thats a job in itself, and the Relay-4-Life fundraising, too! :) Less then 200 days now till my wedding! By the way, I'll get to try my dress on this Sunday, March 1st, as well as pick out the perfect dress for my beautiful bridesmaids...fun fun! Here is a pic of my dress...did I mention that I got the last one in my size and color (iced cappacino) from the Alfred Angelo warehouse?!?! If that's NOT meant-to-be, I don't know what is! lol (And don't worry...Tim won't be on here to see this dress! hehehe :))

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

As for the Relay-4-Life fundraising for Erin's Everlasting Butterflies team (which may I add, we have 30+ team members...how awesome!), I am in the process of creating some cute butterfly cards that I hope to sell at the relay, as well as anywhere in general, for $5, with all proceeds going towards this great cause! I will have pics up soon, I really, truly promise!

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...

Hello All! Hope everyone's doing well out there! I can't believe we're 8 days away from Christmas! 2009 will be here before we know it...as well as my wedding, ahhh! :)

First Up: Christmas Cards...each individual card is $2.00-- a box of 5 for $5.00 -- a box of 10 for $8.00. You may choose an assortment of cards or do a box of all the same, your choice! :) Below are just a few samples. I also have various gift tags that I am selling. $.50 each or 5 for $2.00. (Sorry I don't have any pictures of those at this time).

I've also been putting together packages of cute little wine charms for your wine/margarita/cocktail classes! These are sooo fun! I've got a wide range of charms to choose from...flowers, sea shells, butterflies, christmas lights or ornaments, etc. They come in packages of 5 and 6. One set is $7.

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

...just a little quote from a Jason Mraz song...kinda goes along with myself...considering I'm a creative person. But anyway, sorry for the delay of posts again...life is taking over me! hahaha Happy Monday all! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and a good weekend! :)

On Saturday, we hosted our 9th Annual Erin B. Lugauskas Memorial Scholarship Halloween

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

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
