With the help of a screen printer, some awesome friends, and plenty of water colors, Mark and I sent these out to our wedding guests as postcards last year.
Laura, a great friend who I met from AmeriCorps, sketched two designs we sent out. Each was unique because every watercolor was different. :) (Also, she just got a pretty awesome designation for her recipe blog!)
Find out tomorrow how we pulled off our save the dates!
Our wedding was very DIY-centric, not only because it was fun, but it saved money and made things memorable. I made many things myself, from the invitations, to decor and the gifts. As a way to celebrate hitting the one-year mark, and to share some of my favorite aspects of our wedding, I am sharing a craft I did each week through October. I might also be sharing a few anecdotes about our relationship, but I'll try not to make it too tacky, I promise!
Hope you guys enjoy fall as much as I do!
P.S. A shout out to Amanda and Leah, the rock stars who took photos that day.
Mark and I took advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend and went camping! We went to Ohiopyle State Park, home to beautiful Appalachian mountains, picturesque waterfalls, and all sorts of fun outdoor activities, including hiking, biking and kayaking. It's also home to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.
A rare photo on the blog: It's Mark!
I went here a lot while I was in AmeriCorps, because there were all sorts of fun projects to do! We built a new bike trail once, and did maintenance on other trails during other visits. It was long overdue for me to go back, and it Mark's first time there as an adult! We mostly stuck to hiking and camping this time around, but I've gone biking and rafting in the past. The best part was seeing the foliage begin to change. There was specks of color here and there, but not full-on fall leaves yet.
Fall is my favorite season, so I'm pretty exciting for the leaves to change, hot drinks, pumpkin carving, and Halloween! I'm lame, I know. :) Temperatures reached the upper 70s during the day, so that's probably the last time the weather will be that warm until next year. I'm glad we were able to take advantage of it.
Do you have any favorite camping spots nearby?
