Shower Invite Tutorial (by Turkey Mom)

On Monday, I showed you the super fun mail that came last week, courtesy of Turkey Mom.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the bridesmaids are hosting the shower

As impressed as I was with the work she put into our engagement party, I was blown away by the effort required to create these invites. I asked Turkey Mom if she wouldn't mind writing a guest post (she can join Mr. Turkey as a guest poster) about how she made these and she graciously agreed. 


So, Hive, please say hello to Turkey Mom!!

Great for Gifts, Bad for the Bank Account

Telling you about Etsy is not at all "breaking news", but I thought I would share my new favorite website / shopping obsession. For those who are not familiar...oh, who am I kidding, you all know what Etsy is.

As someone who would love to be truly crafty, but really only has great organizational skills and perfect penmanship, Etsy is a creative haven. I look at all the beautiful, unique goods and wish that I could duplicate their efforts. In some cases, I've tried and failed (the next time I make an attempt, I'll make sure to blog about it...it's a hot mess), but mainly I just wish that my mother's sewing abilities had been passed on to me or I was a wiz with a hot glue gun. On weekends, I've sometimes found myself perusing the site for hours - not necessarily for anything in particular, but just to see what's out there. This has sometimes resulted in some great purchases, other times in putting me behind in work!
