bexcetera: My next big (messy) project!
http://bexcetera.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-next-big-messy-project.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. My next big (messy) project! So I found a blog post in my wedding ideas research on DIYing these cool twine globes. I thought they could be a semi-easy and cheap solution to decorating our space in an artsy way. Well Justin (my fiancé) had a dream. an actual dream like when you're asleep, not MLK style. I'll update our progress with some pictures later this week! January 25, 2011 at 9:37 AM. Im looking forward to following your creative endeavors! January 25, 2011 at 10:02 AM.

bexcetera: A chalkboard wall... or two!
http://bexcetera.blogspot.com/2012/02/chalkboard-wall-or-two.html
Wednesday, February 15, 2012. A chalkboard wall. or two! With our wedding hub bub dying down, I am back to projects and to blogging! First up, a chalkboard wall. I have been wanting a chalkboard wall for awhile now - who doesn't love the idea of being able to draw all over your walls! With all of our creative friends, I can't wait to see what pops up in the frames as time goes by. So here is how I did it:. If you are wanting just a section of your wall to be a chalkboard surface - like we did near our ki...

bexcetera: All that Glitters
http://bexcetera.blogspot.com/2011/02/all-that-glitters.html
Tuesday, February 15, 2011. The original necklace by Jenny Packham. The crystals I bought from Ralph. When I was trying on wedding gowns I fell in love with a beautiful necklace that my sister found for me to try on. Unfortunately this beautiful necklace by Jenny Packham is $1200! Slightly out of my budget to say the least. Well being the ambitious craftser I am, I decided to try recreating something inspired by this necklace myself. February 15, 2011 at 3:50 PM.

bexcetera: March 2011
http://bexcetera.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 28, 2011. The House of Many Projects. As you can probably tell from my blog, there is always some sort of project going on in our house - and usually multiple ones at the same time! Tonight (after working all day) we decided to start two projects simultaneously - painting a statement wall and refinishing our wood floors. Ok yes. We are probably crazy. Project 1: Painting a statement wall. Project 2: Refinishing the wood floors. Updates will come as our projects progress! Links to this post.

Monday, February 28, 2011. Papel Picado Fiesta Flags. For a much simpler version, I created the flag design in Illustrator on my computer and printed the flags out in different colors. I cut the border out with scissors - still quite meticulous! And then folded the top of the paper over and secured it with tape to some twine to hang. I think the end result gives the look and feel, without all the hard work! Https:/ www.yousendit.com/download/T2pIYURKMGt6RSt4dnc9PQ. Links to this post. Links to this post.

http://bexcetera.blogspot.com/2011/03/royal-wedding-card-set-yes-and-i-made.html
Thursday, March 24, 2011. The Royal Wedding Card Set! Yes and I made it. As April 29th approaches, it seems like everyone and their mother-in-law is trying to make a buck off of the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton - including my client Topps! I was graced with the opportunity to create the card set and packaging for the Royal Wedding Commemorative Card Collection which will be sold on QVC. Yes. QVC - tell all of your grandmas!

bexcetera: DIY Glam Bridal Necklace
http://bexcetera.blogspot.com/2012/02/diy-glam-bridal-necklace.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. DIY Glam Bridal Necklace. One of my favorite projects that I tackled for our wedding was creating the necklace I wore on the big day. The end result looks like a million bucks, but the supplies were relatively inexpensive - it just took a bit of time and effort! I first blogged about starting this necklace a year ago in my post, All that Glitters. I decided I would attempt to make something similar on my own. Once you have the paper form just right, its time to move to fabric&#...
