I don't know where the time is going. Seriously, if you know, let me know. I blinked and a week has gone by just like that.
But in the meantime, it's official. I'm addicted. There's a website called Pinterest which is still in its beta testing mode and therefore you have to ask to be invited. Granted, that takes like maybe an hour tops. But you sign in using your facebook or twitter account and set up "boards" in which to "pin" pictures to. And you can pin them from anywhere. It's fantastic. No longer are you limited to what the knot has available to you when you make your inspiration board. You can pool together images from The Knot, Get Married, Google Image searches, Amazon, wherever you found it during your random searches. And because it works from a button on your favorites toolbar, you don't have to keep the site up at all times and it doesn't pull you out of your current browsing experience. And your inspiration board can be of limitless size.

I've probably wasted a good number of hours (spread out in five minute intervals over the past week) gathering together all of the random ideas I've had onto some of these boards. Granted, I've been focusing most on engagement photos so that I have some idea of what I want for my own engagement photo session in a week and a half. Eep! I'm a bit nervous about it.
But I'm starting to get myself together about it. Last night I made a trip to the craft store and picked up supplies to make a few props. Chalkboard paint is by far one of the coolest inventions ever. I picked up some and a cute, rustic looking frame and went to work last night. Currently, the glass is drying and waiting for its final coat. Depending on how it turns out will determine whether or not I go chalkboard paint crazy for the wedding. I also picked up a silk flower and feathers to make myself a hair pin to match the dress I'm going to be wearing so, that's one outfit I consider planned out. The other outfit is still a little bit up in the air but I'm fairly certain I know what I'm doing with that one too.
We were out shopping this weekend to get Jeff a summer suit since he roasted Saturday night at the wedding we'd attended. During a trip, I found a cute fedora so I can be in sync with my fedora lovin' man. But also on that trip, we found a white button down shirt for him that's pretty casual so I think we're going to do that for some of the pictures. Especially since I want to spend some time playing in the playground which is one of those super brightly colored plastic sets.
So it's looking like we'll have some playful engagement photos as well as some more vintage, classy style ones as well. Now, I just have to cross my fingers for beautiful weather so we don't have to cancel.
