Gifted

Our house has become wedding central again, except that this time it isn't for our wedding. We're becoming overrun with wedding and shower gifts! Here's what we have so far:

All the wrapped gifts, plus the box with the DIY wine glasses in it

Cuisinart Griddler for CJ & Andrea's wedding

B. Smith Multi Server for Kristen's shower

Libbey Dessert Set for Caitlin's shower

I also bought several small things for Caitlin's shower as they are donating to the foundation that she got her guide dog, Laser, from. (They need sample size travel items for the students that stay there.) I'm really happy to help with this! (That's what the small bag in the first picture is.)

Back At It

I have been DIYing again, even after everything that I did for our wedding. On Pinterest I saw a cute, simple project of spray painting glass vases with frosted glass spray paint. I did a couple of vases that I had leftover from the wedding and they came out great! I bought a set of 12 wine glasses and decided I'd do a pair for each of the weddings we're going to this year (and next) as well as a set for ourselves. They came out really nice. The front of the glass has a monogram of sorts comprised of their last initial in the center and their first initials on each side of it. The bottom of the stem has their names, one name per glass. And the back has their date in a simple numeric style.

We're going to give CJ and Andrea's to them as part of their wedding gift. For Kevin and Kristen and Caitlin and Anthony it will also be a wedding gift along with money. (I'm thinking a $50 or $100 bill in each glass.) I haven't decided if the others will be shower or wedding gifts, but I'm leaning towards wedding for those as well. Now to find a place for ours among the rest of our wedding paraphernalia.
