I have awesomely crafty bride friends!

Heya Nesters!

Right now, I have six friends {excluding myself, of course} that are engaged. SIX. 

Almost all my fellow brides are pretty stink in' crafty, but my one friend Megan has gone above and beyond the adorable DIY factor.  I asked my friends to be bridesmaids via a hand written personalized note card. Megan took a page out of the Once Wed's book blog and made the most adorable. cards. ever.

What an awesome job did she do!?  She really brought the cuteness factor to another level.  I'm so impressed and happy she shared this with me and is letting me share it with you all!  And as always a big thanks to Once Wed and the blogging community for the endless inspiration that you give all of us betrothed ladies. 

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

Baby Shower Reveal

Heya Nesters! You may have noticed I've been a little MIA in the last week or so. I've been prepping for the long distance baby shower I have been planning for my brother and sister-in-law.  I'm happy to announce that all my hard work paid off.  It's over, the party was a success and I can finally breath.

The best decor of all was the nearly 360 degree view of Manhattan from the 38th floor, with a beautiful blue sky and warm{ish} Spring{ish} day.

2 Year Anniversary

Follow my blog with bloglovin

Hiya Nesters!  Welcome to this special Saturday edition of Temporary Nest. Today is a special day for me.  Matt and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary.  {It's actually Monday, but who wants to celebrate their anniversary on a Monday? Not us!} It may not seem ground breaking or even all that significant since we're not married or engaged. But Matt is so wonderfully special to me, if you haven't noticed by his frequent cameos in my adventures.  And I'll be honest, before him, I had never celebrated a first anniversary, let alone a second!  

DIY Project: Old School Silhouette

Heya Nesters!  Alright well, enough with the chair business! There's more to life than velvet and tacking, right?  I wanted to show you guys today a little project that is close to my heart. As you may know. my brother, Joe, and sister-in-law, Molly, are expecting.  We are in the heat of baby shower planning and coordinating.  That combined with redecorating post-Christmas and my obsession with wanting to make a silhouette and I had a project calling my snowed-in name "Giiiiiinaaaaa... Get off your lazy, cold heiny and maaaaake meeeeeee."

So I did. 

Tulle and Tootsies

Good {snowy} Morning, Nesters!  Last night I added a little tulle and tootsies to my fine nest.  What the heck am I talking about? Well... lets start with a little background.
