Mrs. Poodle's Picture
Mrs. Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.

Poodle Projects: Wood Wood!

*We are now back from our honeymoon so I can resume posting about our projects and then we’ll move on to the RECAPS! smile

I love wood; I have always loved it! Mr. Poodle does too, so we wanted a lot of it on our wedding day, but since I don’t have power tools, I had to ask for help from my FIL. I drew all the shapes and he cut them for me.

He also helped me cut the circles for the 2 sweets towers I wanted. We finished them with pieces of wood and birdhouses on top!

And below is one of the projects O loved the most—our tree rounds! We used those for our tables and for some sweets in our desert buffet!

Again, my FIL worked on sanding the tops.

I love the wood rounds! Unfortunately, I could only find one to use for a small cake for our wedding…I don’t know anyone cutting down any trees and they are too expensive to buy, I’m jealous!
