There's A Monster In My Parent's House...

It's growing larger and more powerful everyday.  I can't stop it, I can't control it, no one can, we can only try to limit it's growth for as long as possible.  Right now, it only occupies 1/4 of the room but there's no telling how big it could become. There's no weapon strong enough to defeat it. Shutting the door will only help for so long. It feeds on the burning desire of this bride for her wedding to be as beautiful as possible. Run for your lives, folks, the wedding crap is taking over!

Yes, it's true, my old bedroom has officially become the storage room for all wedding decor and crafts.  Thank goodness my parents are fine with storing everything there because if I had to keep it all in my little studio apartment, Mr Trail Mix and I would literally be tripping over things right and left.  Don't believe me? Take a look...

You can't tell from the photo but that pile of stuff includes the cafe lights, mason jars, lavender favors (which I finished, all 180 of 'em!) picture frames, votives, paper lanterns and table number holders. And I still have more stuff back at my apartment in the city.  Yeeesh.

Ooooh, that picture reminds me of another find I meant to share with you all...While I was browsing Snippet and Ink's weekly deals the other day, I clicked on this website called Estilo Weddings and in the sale section, I found these:

Blue and yellow paper lanterns, perfect for my blue-and-yellow wedding! I snatched them up the last remaining set of 8 for $30 total, which included the little LED lights and shipping. I think that was a pretty good price, for patterned ones. They're on the smaller side (12", I believe) but I think they'll look really pretty mixed in with the bigger white and yellow paper lanterns that I'm planning on getting to hang over the dance floor.  It's a small step towards the larger picture but I'm happy with the purchase and it feels good to take even baby steps towards feeding the monster I've created in my old bedroom...

I'm sure most of you ladies know what I'm talking about, who else feels like your house is being taken over by wedding supplies?
