We’ve been talking about attire for a while now. Are you tired of it yet? Yeah, me too. So let’s talk about something else. Let’s talk about hobbies!

What do hobbies have to do with wedding planning? Gosh, I’m so glad you asked me that. As I’ve said in the past, I am not a crafty person. Never have been. But with wedding planning, I have developed a sudden urge to make stuff. Some of it is to save money, but a lot of it is to make this day our own. While there are still a whole lot of things we will buy, I feel like the craft projects I’m taking on are making this day more personal to us. And I like that. So I guess it’s my thing now.

It’s also a lovely excuse to learn all about something I’ve always been curious about: scrapbooking.

Paper crafts have proved to be my new favorite thing, so scrapbooking is a natural progression for me. And since I’m really quite clueless, I’ve done what any clueless crafting wannabe does. That’s right, folks. I’m taking a scrapbooking class!

I swear, this is wedding related. See, I’m starting off with a vacation scrapbook. But after I learn more, I’m going to apply my newfound knowledge to scrapbooking the wedding and maybe even the honeymoon. And then I have this idea about a guestbook, but that’s a post for another day.

In the meantime, want to see my first layout?

These were taken on our trip to Seattle this summer at the Seattle Aquarium. Personal photo of personal photos.

Don’t laugh—it’s my first try. Here, let me distract you. Instead of mocking me, how about telling me if your wedding has inspired other projects in your own life?
