Mrs. Cannon's Picture
Mrs. Cannon, Toledo, OH Age and Occupation: 27, Financial Analyst Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Assembler Engagement Date: February 28, 2011 Wedding Date: September 2011 Venue: Epworth UMC & Ward Pavilion About Me: I'm the curious combination of being a go-with-the-flow, laid back, obsessive planner. I try desperately to stay as busy as possible at all times (and am succeeding big time right now!) My biggest loves in life are Law & Order: SVU, Community (the show, not the concept, although I like that, too), ice cream, white cheddar popcorn, beer, hiking, knitting, decorating, writing, being outside, spending time with friends and family and musical theater. Mr. Cannon is pretty sweet, too. We've had a lot of fun traveling and having adventures all over the country, but have finally moved back near our hometown to settle down. We're planning a low-key, colorful, fun wedding and an awesome-to-the-max reception.
About Mrs. Cannon

If you’re anything like me, you were excited to find Project Runway’s new season starting up a few weeks ago. Bridesmaid Rifle and MOH Bombshell share my love for the show, and especially for mentor Tim Gunn.

Thursday Night’s Alright (for Crafting) :  wedding crafts toledo Tim Gunn tim-gunn

I used that picture because Tim is doing his, “I’m concerned” face, and I’m pretty sure that’s the one he’d be giving me if he were looking over my wedding plans about now.

“Miss Cannon,” he would say, “I really think this could be amazing, but you don’t have much time left.” Then he would point to my closet full of half completed projects and say, “This concerns me.” I would give him a half worried, half hopeful look, then he would give me a squeeze on the shoulder and an encouraging smile. “Make it work!”

So, in an attempt to take advice from my favorite man (other than Mr. Cannon, of course), I have been trying to make it work the past few weeks by having Rifle over on Thursday nights for wedding crafting, beer, snacks, and of course, watching the new season of Project Runway.

We have made some progress, but there is still a lot to do. However, with the new semester looming, I know I need to get as much stuff knocked out in the next week as possible.

So I submit my list of things I must complete to you, in hopes it will keep me accountable:

  1. Flowers
  2. Programs
  3. Signage
  4. Crayons and packaging
  5. Thank you cards

It’s quite a bit for a little over a week (especially considering all the other things I have going on) but I’m determined. I will make you proud, Papa Gunn! I will make it work!

Awesome. For my birthday last year, he was at the Mall of America and I went and had him sign his last book…I heart Mr Gunn so much.
You will be great.

You can do it Cannon! And that whole pseudo conversation with Tim Gunn was so awesome, I could totally see him saying exactly that.

You can do it! Also, I don’t know much about Project Runway, but I enjoyed the Elton John reference in the title :)

Bahaha spot on words from Mr. Gunn. I obsessively watched the seasons on Bravo but didn’t make the switch to the new network.

Lol do you remember the guy (I can’t think of which season) named Santino who used to do the Tim Gunn impressions? It always cracks me up.
