finally!!

FINALLY!!

I told myself that I should look into blogging one of these days but never got around to it. And today's the day I signed up to blog because weddingbee.com is looking for a blogger. I thought to myself: "wouldn't it be cool if I was chosen as a blogger"! Then, I looked into their requirements and I realized that I only made some of their requirements but not all. One of the things that ng that was missing is the blogging! Well, I shall try to blog and see what happens. The worst thing they can say is no, right?

Mind you, there are some talented people on there!!! Did you know that they only have 20 bloggers? TWENTY!! I know!! I was shocked to learn that.

My latest "crush" is on Mrs. Daffodil. She's so talented. My goodness. When you get a chance, go look at her posts here. She basically wrote out everything that she and her hubby did for their wedding. And thank goodness for that because I can learn to do things from her step by step instructions! If you don't have time to read all of her blogs, just read this one: Pt. X: Wait, This Wasn’t Part of the Schedule! It's so good!! I don't think Mr. JellyBelly will do that. He's too shy.

Oh, before I go any further, let me tell you a little bit about myself:

I'm in my late 20's and am engaged to be married in August of 2009 to Mr. JellyBelly in the beautiful state of Hawaii. We have three "kids" together -- two girls and a boy, who we adore very much! (See pictures up above.) Also, I am a full time student and I try to be creative as much as I can. This can be hard at times because I barely have enough time to read my books for school. Okay okay..it's not that I barely have time, it's just that I'd rather be doign somethine else than read my books. And of course, this darn thing call computer gets most of my time too. Whenever I get home, I turn on my computer..even if I just spent the entire day on it. How sad, huh? And mind you, I go to the same websites almost everyday. It's not like these websites are constantly updating. So, what do I do on there, you ask? Just search and search and search for the most random things. I start out with one and from there, I go to other related stuff and keep searching until I feel tired. And of course, because of this, my wrists have been hurting like crazy. UGH!

Ah...at last, I muste tell you about my latest obsession: our wedding invitations. Initially, I was going to have my invites ordered but they cost $6 a pop for a simple invitation with response card and envelopes. I actually put the deposit down for the invites already. So, I have to contact the lady to see if that deposit can be used toward something else. Mr. JellyBelly was hesitant. He said something like "ok love, you can design it and show it to me. I just want it to look nice for our wedding." Uh..duh! Of course I want those invites to look nice. After all, it's my wedding too.

So, I got the software I wanted for Christmas and created an invite for him. I showed it to Mr. JellyBelly and he said "Oh wow!". He loved the design!!! Whoosh! Thank goodness. Otherwise, I just spent moola on a program that's not going to do me anygood. =)

Mr. JellyBelly and I went to Papersource to see what they had. And we bought some 210 g luxe paper from papersource and also some poppy paper for the backing of our invitation. I was hoping to buy some pocket folders from there but Mr. JellyBelly didn't like the ones from Papersource. The one he likes is the one where you have a place for the invitation to be glued down and it also has a spot for the response card at the bottom -- like this one. The one from papersource just has a slot and he's not into it at all. Since it's his wedding too, I decided to accomodate. =) Now, we need to get those pocket folders in green! I can't wait!
