Monograms

 If you didn't know already, I'm a very frugal person. I find it hard to pay money for something that I could do on my own. So, this may become my Achilles' heel when it comes to my wedding. Why pay $30 for something that I could make for $5? Ha. We'll see.

I've been clippin' coupons for local craft stores, and have been slowly buying supplies for all of the ideas in my head. Today I started my first project. It's going to take me a while to complete all of these projects, because I only have 15-20 minutes here and there to work on them. So, maybe over the next 4 months they'll get done. We'll see.





I found M's for less than $2 each, and bought chocolate brown paint!  

I can't decide what I'm going to do with them. They could look cute hanging from the doors of our reception venue.  OR I could write Mr. on one and Mrs. on the other and hang them from our chairs. Well. We'll see...
