We were going to go to Austin to pick up my dress and look at bridesmaids dresses (and shop for clothes) but we can't now and it makes me sad. Because now I have to work all day Friday and Saturday. Boo. We will be going in a couple of weeks though. Matt was going to come with us but now he isn't even coming here because I have to work and he has a project to work on. We are going on like 4 weeks without seeing each other. I don't like that. <br />
Anyways I wanted to share with you something way cool that we are thinking about doing for our send off after the reception. The lady that is doing our catering told us about <a href="http://www.wishlantern.com/sky-lanterns/">sky lanterns</a>. I looked them up and fell in love with them! How can you not?<br />
<br />

</div><div align="left">So I started doing a little research on them and apparently there is a lot of negative things being said about them. Fire hazard and pollution being the top two. So now I will just have to think about it more and hope we get some rain closer to the wedding (so there won't be a burn ban in effect). If we don't do these we will probably do sparklers. </div><div align="left"><br />

I talked about what I am doing digitally to do this. <br />
<br />
Today I am going to tell you about what I plan to do with paper and documenting. These three things aren't going to happen right now but I am super excited to do them soon!<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049LRLLC/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A1LZDMAQG0RDL8">Project Life</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWkDhcC55fGUorOd59q_yZbnse6_vSfr8aLpgSQdAvaeXihrHRMq2wdciQf3NtUSRDWYvhVn-CfPGYj3LWG05l4u1pMpmXXpB_k66WAdLF-OM1WqCXwn2e9yeyaG9fa8t-ifucSFSMMXbF/s1600/ProjectLife-amber-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWkDhcC55fGUorOd59q_yZbnse6_vSfr8aLpgSQdAvaeXihrHRMq2wdciQf3NtUSRDWYvhVn-CfPGYj3LWG05l4u1pMpmXXpB_k66WAdLF-OM1WqCXwn2e9yeyaG9fa8t-ifucSFSMMXbF/s320/ProjectLife-amber-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>If you haven't heard me talk about Project Life before then you haven't been around too long. Or maybe I think about it more than I talk about it. Anyways I love the concept of Project Life. It is a very simple way to scrapbook. It's all about getting life's moments documented in the easiest way possible. And it's pretty to look at! <br />
<br />
I plan on getting this before the wedding. I want to use it for our first year of marriage. I am so excited about it! My mom has it now and I love how it works and how simple it is. <br />
<br />
2. Minibooks<br />
<br />
I have made mini books in the past and I love making them. I like how everyone you make can be completely different. I also like how they can be about anything. They can be about an event, or goals you have, or just things that inspire you. I was going to make one for this post but I didn't get the chance to (even though I had the whole day off from work :) I have an idea for one that I will hopefully share soon! <br />
<br />
3. <a href="http://www.traditionspress.com/shoppingcart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=4">Christmas book</a><br />
<br />
I first saw this on <a href="http://eliseblaha.typepad.com/golden/2010/12/a-blaha-now-cripe-family-christmas-tradition.html">Elise's blog</a> and I absolutely love it. From Elise's post:<br />
<br />
"The book has 25 two page spreads which have a place to share a family photo from Christmas eve or day, a place to journal what you did during the holiday season, a place to share the holiday card you mailed out and a place to share what happened to the family during the past year."<br />
<br />
Isn't that the coolest idea ever? I plan on getting this book closer to Christmas time and use it every year! I am so excited! whitneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11009114694786337859noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8064543498352310898.post-7495034231878233192011-01-31T14:54:00.000-06:002011-02-02T11:48:21.831-06:00documenting life :: part 1This is the first post of two that I am going to share with you how I plan to document this year. There are going to be a lot of changes this year (putting a wedding together, getting married, moving to who knows where) and I want to remember them all and be able to look back at these moments. I keep thinking way down the road when we have kids. I want them to be able to look at these things and see what we were like when we were first married and things we did. <br />
<br />
There are three things that I am doing now that are digital. I will get to the paper things tomorrow. <br />
<br />
1. Blogging<br />
<br />
The main reason I started this blog was to document things happening in my life. I like to look back at old posts because it helps me remember those times. It is so much easier for me to type some things then to write them out by hand. So I am much more likely to blog about it then write it in a journal. Some examples of things I am glad I blogged about are: the <a href="http://whitneyrweir.blogspot.com/2010/08/story.html">story of our engagement</a>, my very first <a href="http://whitneyrweir.blogspot.com/2010/09/inspiration-board.html">inspiration board</a> of what I was wanting at the moment for our wedding, and what I did to <a href="http://whitneyrweir.blogspot.com/2010/08/will-you-be-my-bridesmaid.html">ask my girls to be bridesmaids</a>. These all seem to be wedding related things but that is so where I am right now and where I have been for the past 6 months (and where I will be for the next 4ish months :) <br />
<br />
I need to always remember why I created this blog. I started it for me. <br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://ohlife.com/">Oh Life</a><br />
<br />
I don't remember where I first heard of this but when I did I thought it would be a great way to make my <a href="http://whitneyrweir.blogspot.com/2010/10/5-year-journal.html">5 year journal</a> process easier. Oh Life sends you an email everyday (you can set what time it sends) and asks you how your day was. All you do is hit the reply button and type how your day went and send it back! That's it! It is so easy to do on my phone. <br />
<br />
Another thing I like about it is when it asks you how your day was it also shows what you wrote a week ago, a month ago, or a year ago depending on how long you have been doing it for. <br />
<br />
If I ever get caught up in my five year journal (yes I am a little/a lot behind) I have something I can look back at to see what happened that day!<br />
<br />
3. Pictures<br />
<br />
I love to take pictures. And look at pictures. I think they tell events and stories the best. Since I have moved back home with my mom and her DSLR I feel like I am prone to taking more pictures. Don't ask me why but I prefer taking pictures with my mom's camera then with my point and shoot. Well I will tell you why. The pictures are so much better! <br />
<br />
Me and Matt are planning on getting this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-T2i-Digital-3-0-Inch-18-55mm/dp/B0035FZJHQ?ie=UTF8&tag=whitneyrae-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">camera</a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-T2i-3-0-Inch-Body-Only/dp/B0035FZJI0?ie=UTF8&tag=whitneyrae-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whitneyrae-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0035FZJHQ" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whitneyrae-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0035FZJI0" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /> before the wedding as our wedding present to each other. I also am planning on getting this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-50mm-1-8-Camera-Lens/dp/B00007E7JU?ie=UTF8&tag=whitneyrae-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">lens</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=whitneyrae-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B00007E7JU" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;" width="1" /> too. As a present to myself. For getting through tax season in a tax office. Having that camera will be a wonderful thing to have at the beginning of our marriage. Can't wait to take lots of pictures! :)<br />

I have been reading her blog for less than a year so when it came around this year it was something new to me. I initially thought that this wasn't for me. So I didn't think about it. Then I read this <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2011/01/one-little-word-2011-the-words.html">list </a>and a few words just started jumping out at me. That's when I decided that maybe my life did need one little word this year. To stay on focus. Here is what Ali said about one little word: <br />
<br />
"You live with it. You invite it into you life. You let it speak to you. You might even follow where it leads. There are so many possibilities."<br />
<br />
These are the words that stuck out to me when I went through the list of words:<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">begin :: action :: capture :: create :: invest :: relish</span><br />
I decided that my word for 2011 will be <strong>invest</strong>. <br />
<br />
I want to <strong>invest</strong> time and effort in my health :: this means working out, being more active and trying to eat healthier<br />
<br />
I want to <strong>invest</strong> time and effort in my business :: list, list, list<br />
<br />
I want to <strong>invest</strong> money into my savings account :: this is one of my <a href="http://whitneyrweir.blogspot.com/2010/11/23-at-23.html">23 at 23</a> goals too<br />
<br />
I want to <strong>invest</strong> in my relationships :: friends and family<br />
<br />
I want to <strong>invest</strong> time into my spiritual growth :: read and study the bible more and pray more<br />
<br />
I want to <strong>invest</strong> in a good camera :: can't wait to make this investment!<br />
<br />
I want to <strong>invest</strong> in documenting life :: I need to remember that this takes a little bit of time and effort but will be so worth it! (more on how I plan to do this in a couple of weeks)<br />
<br />

Mainly because I didn't get anything new listed. You would think that promising you all something new in a week would keep me accountable but it didn't. I am still trying to make the most use out of the little time that I have. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did get a new paper cutter this week! I got my old one for my birthday this past year and it has seen better days. I could only cut through one paper at a time so it would take me forever to do a large custom order. Now with my new cutter I can cut through multiple layers. That is my favorite thing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">After graduation I had this huge plan to really grow my shop. Enter 8am-7pm job. Now I feel like I am going to have no time to put into wrp. I still want to list new things and keep it going but it is going to take much more time and effort than I had originally planned. I recently ordered 250 bubble mailers so I need to put those to use and ship out orders! </div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">As I look back at the <a href="http://whitneyrweir.blogspot.com/2010/10/etsy-takes-work-and-some-goals-for-wrp.html">goals</a> I made on October 28th, I feel like I didn't try hard enough and therefore did not accomplish them. I did not get on the front page again, I did not list 3 new things each month, but my views did increase for November but went way down in December. </div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I think that the key thing that I need to do is list new things! That is my only goal for wrp for right now. I need to focus on creating and listing new items. </div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">By this time next week I hope to have something new in the shop. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

But then when I put the last one I knew it was for me! There were no tears or anything but I knew that I loved it!</div><div align="center">I really wish I could show you all the dresses I tried on but matthew reads this and I don't want him to see any of the dresses I tried on until after he sees me in the dress...which will be on June 11th. </div><div align="center"><br />

When my mom got a kindle last year I decided that I must have one too. So I asked for one for Christmas. I am loving it! It makes reading so much more convenient for me and I like how when I finish a book I can start another one right away! Here are some of the books I currently have on it and am in the process of reading. (I scored a ton of amazon gift cards for chritmas too! Gift cards make me really happy!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

At first I felt bad for neglecting my blog and when I tweeted that I felt bad for not blogging, <a href="http://oliviakcarter.blogspot.com/">Olivia</a> replied to me and said to not feel bad and blog for me. So I took a break. I needed that break to become re inspired to blog.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">School got busy and then I turned around and graduation was here and now Christmas has gone by. Time has been flying by! One of the main reasons I started this blog was to document things that happen in my life. I have not been doing that lately and a lot has happened in this past month.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We got our engagement pictures back!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I got a job for January!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I went to my last day of school ever!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I worked my last day as a student assistant.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We registered for wedding gifts!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I graduated college!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I moved back home with my mom and younger sister.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Celebrated my last Christmas without Matthew by my side.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Designed our save the dates to be sent out.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For the new year I have a lot of goals. Personal and business ones. One of my goals is to really grow this blog. I am planning on consistent posting. I really hope you will stick around with me because I have some weekly features that I am excited about. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Excited to see what this new year will bring!</div>whitneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11009114694786337859noreply@blogger.com1
