Obsessed

I am the worst blogger ever, please excuse my lack of posts this week. I have been locked in the house (and running to and from Michael's and target) preparing for this shower! I know its early but my mom is hosting it at her house and I am planning on bringing everything there tomorrow (if it doesn't snow!) because Hubs came in yesterday and told me it looks like Victoria's Secret threw-up in our living room (which I was infuriated about, but the colors are the same). I promise to post pictures soon of everything (I am really excited about how everything is coming together). But I will leave you with the most amazing discovery I made this week...

Glue Dots

I am sure I am way late to this party (as usual) but these things have almost completely eliminated my need to whip out the hot glue gun every thirty minutes! My mod podge usage has slowed as well(truly amazing)! These are not the removable kind (I know they make some) but they have proved incredibly useful on crafting projects and just for use around the house! I plan on always having them on hand!


I know I have been all over the place about shower favors (I get a little too into it-I know), from the macaroons, to soaps and back again! But leave it to my mother to come up with the perfect favor!



La Vie French Bon Bons! So delicate, with pretty parchment paper wrapped around the bon bons when you open them, the tins are amazing! My mother always had one of these in her purse, we used to get them for her at Crabtree and Evelyn.They come in lots of flavors, and I am planning on tying a baby pink satin ribbon around the "belly band" of the tin and adding a tag with "thank you " or something like that. So Excited!

Hope everyone has an amazing Friday!!

I use glue dots on everything! I put them in a wedding day emergency kit I made my best friend and I can definitely say we used them to keep a bra strap in place and on the flower girl's bow on her dress!

Glue dots are fantastic. I used a ton of them when I got married. I am pretty sure I have some in my "junk drawer". I think your favor idea is perfect. Have fun!
