...until our Las Vegas wedding!
So as you can imagine, I have been MIA for the most part due to finalizing wedding plans (which I think are just about done at this point) and getting ready for the trip and the big day. I had my first dress fitting (
www.lookatusgo.net/wedding/dre…) and we've ordered favours, personalized Mr. and Mrs. shirts to wear as we party it up afterwards, and I've even found time to craft up a wedding gift. More on that after we get back of course...
I have done a little crafting lately, though -- my most recent deviation is Otters in Love (
pinktoque.deviantart.com/art/O…) that I made for Lucas this weekend. It's been awhile since I've made a plushie! I also made a purse last weekend to sport around Vegas -- something bright and cheery (
pinktoque.deviantart.com/art/B…). I'm in the middle of working on a birthday present for one of my best friends whose birthday is coming up in early June, and the craft I've most recently picked up that I have been spending the most of my free time on has been digital scrapbooking!
Since I mentioned my newest hobby, be sure to go and read the review I've written up (
pinktoque.blogspot.com/2008/05…) about some new digital scrapbooking software that I picked up by Polaroid called My Memories Suite. It's AMAZING!!! I've made two albums with it already -- one of Christmas with my family where I was using the software's built-in layouts to get a feel for how the program works, and then recently an album of our two dogs, Oliver & Winston. The newest album of the dogs is 18 pages that I made from scratch using the software now that I know how to use it. It's obvious I've learned a lot between the two albums, and I cannot wait to make a digital album of our wedding now. The more I use this software, the more I love it and see how much potential and creative freedom it has. Anyway, I've already obsessed about My Memories Suite once on my craft blog, so go check out the full review there: (

You can see all of the digital scrapbook pages I've created with My Memories Suite so far in one of two places:

As of June 6, I will have lived in Canada for 2 years So that's what's new and what's upcoming -- I most likely won't be around too much between now and the wedding, but look for an update when I get back -- I have several summer crafts in mind that I hope to tackle once the craziness of planning a destination wedding is over
VIVA LAS VEGAS! <3
