Wedding Card Box
Now that we are heading into wedding season, I am sure there are a ton of brides working out the details to their big day. I know when my sister was at the bitter end, she was scrambling to work out a few. One of those was a card box.

Not in the way skinny people say, "I'm so fat" when they clearly ...
Wedding Crashing MOH Style

The fact it was St. Patrick's day makes her that much ...
Bachelorette Party!
My sister flew in from Georgia Friday night. I am so happy to have her home. She is getting married on St. Patrick's day.

We started with gifts and a few drinks at my house. My cousin Rosie made all the adorable sashes. Is she not going to be the most adorable bride ever? Then we hit an Irish ...
