Friday Faves + Giveaway!

Make sure you scroll to the end--I have a fun giveaway for you!

Happy Friday! It's my birthday on Sunday so I'm excited to spend the weekend celebrating, and running some errands for our trip. Here are some of my favorites from the blog world the last few weeks...

A fabulous ruffle lace skirt tutorial

(exactly the type of thing I'm hoping to work on when I'm home in July)

Have you ever blogged something you regretted? Here's a great post on the subject.

Some travel tips from Jordan of Oh Happy Day (who's living in Paris!)

I love the idea of a meal in a jar. Wonder how well this works in practice?

I'm dying to make these peanut butter bacon chocolate cookies from Jessica at How Sweet It Is.

Lastly, I'm excited to announce a [sponsored] giveaway from Tah Groen of Tahirih Designs. I was searching on Etsy for local vendors in San Diego County and stumbled upon her great jewelry. She graciously agreed to offer an item from her shop to my readers.

The giveaway is for the Twisted Rosette Ring. I love how sweet and delicate it is!

To enter: please subscribe to my blog, visit Tah's jewelry shop (& photography shop) and comment below!

Winner will be announced on Monday!

Blog-a-versary Giveaway Winner Announced!

It's been a busy and unexpected week, and I hope to catch up about it soon.
But first, my one year blog giveaway!

between comments, tweeting and following, I had an incredible 51 entries, which I plugged into an excel spreadsheet.
Then I used Random.org's number generator to come up with the winner.

Congratulations to Ms. A

One Year Giveaway!

130 posts & one year, and I'm celebrating!

And yes, this is a little late. Turns out I contracted the bug that's been going around--(thankfully not H1N1) and I'm home from work today.

I wanted to giveaway something to kick off the holidays, but it was so hard to choose! So the winner will have a choice between these three pretty little Christmas items from Etsy:


Felted Acorn Ornaments


Two Turle Doves





Christmas or Holidays mini banner (each letter is on a 3 inch circle)






These are perfect for your first christmas as husband and wife [or almost, for those still planning :-)] I've saved ornaments through the years and I can't wait to decorate our first tree and house for a Christmas party!


To Enter:

1. Leave a comment and let me know which of the three you would pick
2. Become a follower of my blog and Twitter (@Latte_Love) and let me know in the comment
3. Tweet or blog about this giveaway and link to this post and @latte_love

*Edited to add: I'll choose a winner on Monday morning...all entries must be in by 11:59pm PST on Sunday!*
Thanks!

An update and announcement

I'm pretty bad at this recap thing. Maybe it's because my honeymoon recaps have been pretty intense. But we took over 1,000 pictures in 11 days people! And at least half of them are blog worthy, (Italy is just that photogenic) so it's hard to pick and choose what to share.

I want to keep my readers happy, but also offer these posts as a resource to brides planning a honeymoon to Italy, because ours was so fantastic.
If you wedding bloggers start to get uninterested in the lengthy honeymoon posts...I will completely understand if you employ the "quick scroll" to check out the pretty pictures, and ignoring our travel stories!
I hope you can stick around--wedding recaps will start soon!

Also, a couple of housekeeping notes, one positive and one not:

First, I've gotten my first [TWO] spam messages in one weekend, so for now I'm going to be moderating my comments. I hate to do that, but I'll try to be on here often enough that the comments don't hold too long! Yucky spammers.

Second, my one year blog-a-versary is this Thursday, the 12th! In honor of that I'll be holding a giveaway to be announced later today!

Custom Photo Guestbook winner!

Remember this giveaway?

We have a winner!!

I'm back!

I had a whirlwind week with E while he was on his spring break, and I didn't even get a chance to warn you I was leaving for a bit. I have hardly checked my emails in over a week.

It was wonderful to see the fiance again (I'll only see him once more for about 3 days before the wedding!) We stayed incredibly busy with our food tasting, bridal shower, finishing up the invitations, seeing friends and family, pre-marital counseling, trying on his tux and much, much more!

But now he's back in sunny california, and I'm here trying to get back to normal life after a week of lots of fun and work, and very little sleep. I've missed the blogging world, and it's good to get back to normal . I've have lots of posts coming up soon, and invitations to send out, but until then, here's a little teaser from my shower on Saturday.

You've got some more time on my giveaway, so please enter! I'll be selecting a winner on April 24th.

my first giveaway!

Stories by Everyone is sponsoring a free guestbook giveaway on my blog, and I'm excited to share it all with you!

I'm making one of these for my wedding reception, and I'm thrilled that I'll have this memory book filled with our engagment pictures, our story, and hand written well-wishes from our wedding guests. Stories for Everyone's website allow you to custom create the book choosing from several different cover and layout options.

Traditional Guest Book

Modern Style

They have a traditional option with a photo cover, and lines for guests to sign, and a more modern photo book that allows you to share photos and stories, while still leaving space for your guests to leave their well wishes. Best of all, you don't have to download a program to create the guestbook--you can design your book right from the website!

Besides affordable guest books and photo books, Stories by Everyone offers several wedding stationery lines that are just too cute!
