A Craft Store Threw Up in My House

September 12, 2010 by Julie 28 Comments

It’s official.

Wedding crafts took over the day!

I don’t want to reveal our crafty projects on the blog before the big day, but here’s a little preview:

Intrigued? 😉

For the better part of the day, it looked like a craft store threw up all over our house. Fabric, stamps, paper, scissors and picture frames were everywhere!

My mom is seriously an angel and has done an amazing job with many of the projects. It’s like she has a little peep-hole right into my brain and can help me bring my ideas to fruition. Muchas gracias, Mama! 😀

It seems that crafting makes me very snacky, so I snacked through the day and never really sat down to a big lunch. I really hate it when that happens because I end up eating more than I would if I sat down to a real meal and the foods I consume are never as nutritious… think pre-packaged sugary, white-flour laden goodies… and a bowl or two of ice cream.

Dinner

Around 6 p.m., my dad suggested we head out for dinner, so we headed to The Clubhouse for sandwiches and soup.

I ordered a marinated veggie sandwich served on Ciabatta bread with feta and Provolone cheese, along with a cup of Navy bean soup.

My dad also let me have a few bites of his fish and chips.

The chips were clearly homemade and were so delicious! They were kettle-cooked, crunchy and perfectly salted.

For dessert, my mom and I shared a big slice of banana chocolate cake, encrusted with macadamia nuts on the outside edge.

The cake was served with caramel and sweet cream condensed milk for dipping.

Yum!

Now it’s time for b-e-d.

I’m planning on waking up extra early to sneak in a workout before I pay a visit to the dentist.

Off to brush my teeth and floss (maybe)! 😀

    I always end up doing a lot of snacking on Sundays too. (Like I am today!)

    Sweet cream condensed milk…omg! Just a tad rich for my taste, but still sounds good. 🙂

    I used to be such a snacker on the weekends, so I know exactly how those days are! I mean, why sit down for a meal when you can grab a bite of this or a bowl of that?

    That cake does look delicious! I bet that one would give me sweet dreams 🙂

    I get frustrated too when I snack too much and then am not hungry for lunch or dinner. I enjoy making a full meal and sitting down to eat it. It just isn’t as satisfying if the meal comes in snacky parts. 🙁

    Yep I do that. I hate when I get snack instead of having a real cause like you I always end up eating more than I would if I just ate a meal. I just finished planning my meals for the week in order to try to keep myself from snacking through meals

    I find now that I’m back at school and back to studying and homework, my eating habits have turned into full out snack fests all day. I agree with you, I end up eating way more than I would have, plus I ruin my appetite for dinner!

    dentist appointments always require extra brushing and flossing 😉 i always go crazy, so the dentist doesn’t look at my mouth with disgust.

    wedding crafts can quickly take over any day.

    I definitely snack more on Sundays. I dont know what it is about them, I just always feel the urge to do that! But, I definitely know what you mean about getting annoyed when you just snack all day instead of eating healthy meals! Happens to the best of us! =)

    That sandwich looks delicious! And what a coincidence that I’m going to the dentist too today, except I’m not going for a checkup, I’m getting a cavity filled 🙁 Then I have to go to school with a big numb mouth… Yay
    Good luck with the crafting, so far it’s looking beautiful!

    I’ve never seen the ‘chips’ part of fish and chips taken that way- it’s the British chips, or fries-big thick wedges of spiced sweet potato at my favorite place 😀

    The food looks great! Although I always like it when “chips” means fries. 😉
