Mrs. Sand Dollar's Picture
Mrs. Sand Dollar, Houston Age and Occupation: 24, Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Electrical Technician Engagement Date: January 8, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: MacLean Park About Me: I'm a domestic diva down to the core. I heart cooking, sewing, baking, decorating and making sure we have a hand-crafted home. The best part about the wedding is I get to incorporate it all! I make sure I put my art degree to good use by screen printing, craft knife cutting, and a whole lotta graphic design. We're having a big-time party on a small-time budget, and I promise to show you a boot-scootin', barbecue-eatin', finger-lickin' good time! Mr. Sand Dollar and I spend most of our time on DIY projects or traipsing around the outdoors with our two pooches Rory and Juno. I'm looking forward to sharing our journey with all of you!

Canvas Pop

November 10th, 2010 @ 7:10 pm by Mrs. Sand Dollar

About a million years ago, I won a prize from Apartment Therapy for a Canvas Pop $25 coupon. The one and only time I won a blog prize…hooray! Maybe someday I’ll win some more. But I digress.

Once I figured out a size I could afford, 8×10 (I needed to pay an additional $16 for taxes and S&H), the hard part was deciding on an image. I played around with a few, and finally decided on a ring shot I took at the inn we stayed at just after he proposed. Now, 8 months after I received my canvas, I mounted it on a spare piece of MDF.

I think I’ve decided to dedicate my gallery ledges to a wedding display. I got carried away putting things up on them, and now it just looks all jumbled. So, it’s time to edit and see what I come up with!

Are you planning on dedicating any particular space in your home to your wedding after it’s over?

So nice! We’re covering a small hallway near our bedroom with the old family wedding pictures we displayed at the wedding. It makes me feel really, really happy. :)

Love it! I’ve done the same thing on our mantel. We have our cake topper, my clay bouquet, and his boutineer which sit beside Moose’s urn. Yeah, that sounds weird, but it’s major milestones of our life all together.

Absolutely love that shot of your ring! The metal against the wood, and the color contrasted against the wall!? Amazing. I never thought of creating a space to display wedding things, but now I am :)
