While I'm away on vacation, Amie has kindly stepped in to post some DIYs for their upcoming rustic shabby chic wedding—which happens to be just 3 months from today! Follow all the Pankratz wedding adventures here. Hi guys!  This is Amie -- Sam is my wonderful Matron of Honor for my upcoming wedding this November. I know she's mentioned my upcoming nuptials on her blog before, so I was honored when she asked me to share with you guys while she is away touring the Northeast! Here are five fun DIY projects I plan on making for the wedding. 1.

Looking forward to posting even more photos of this adorable family once I get back from being here on the east coast! :)

The creative juices are drying up and this break away from the computer is going to be so good for me.When I saw the above post on the Year of Lettering, I just knew I had to share it. It was just too appropriate and exactly how I am feeling!Right when we get back, the bridal shower I have been planning for the last 7 months is just going to be a mere week away and then we are wrapping up the wedding invites, getting the wedding DIY crafts done (I seriously love this kind of stuff!), and then just spending as much time together as possible before the best friend becomes a missus.And amongst all that, there are some big work projects wrapping up and some personal branding for myself that I want to get on
