So, the unthinkable has happened.... I walked in to a fabric/ craft store and didn't come out with any new patterns or fabric.  In fact, I only spend $1.39.  This was a strange.  I usually have a hard time staying under 50 dollars when I go in. I wonder what this means??

Hello All, So I am still working on my wedding planning.  However, I have been a bit lazy as of late.  I still need to find a location, and have only really visited one.  The main reason for my procrastination has been my discouragement  with the topic of venues.  I don't know how many of you have planned weddings, but I have to say this has been my least favorite part so far.
