Post Wedding
July 21st came and went and I'm offically Amanda Brady now. I finally got to see it all come together, all those months of stressing, pinning, blog searching and coloring came together for a imperfectly perfect wedding day. It was exactly what I had envisioned and I can't wait to share all the pictures especially my wedding invite pictures! Sadly I won't be getting my pictures for another week or so, so until then I am creating some patterns inspired my honeymoon to Cabo. Starting with this cactus illustration I did! Enjoy
-Mrs.Brady
P.S and yes the Brady Bunch theme song was played at least once at the wedding.

Wedding Wedding Wedding!
My life has be taken over by a sea of coral and green roses. My wedding is one month away!!! ONE MONTH!!! Trying to save money pretty much everything has been a DIY project. Which means laundry isn't done, my house is a disaster and everything else has been put on hold! Here is a just a little preview of what I've been working on. There will be lots more to come.

Broken
OH dear it has been a while since I updated my blog. I have such big plans for this little blog and one day I will get it done! I will give you a brief update to my life.
1) I'm engaged!!! On New's Year Eve while in Winter Park my boyfriend of 3 years got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I kinda blacked out from excitement but got out the "yes" sound and then proceeded to dance!!! We set a date for July 21, 2012 which means I have been in wedding planning crazy mode for the last 2 months.
2) Its paper fashion show season. I have been working on the Paper Fashion show managing the design teams. It is an amazing event even though at times I want to pull my hair out it is all worth it. Check it out here www.adcd.com.
Then it all came crashing down... and I was forced to slow my ass down, literally. I broke my collar bone. Not just broke it but separated it and had to get a plate and 5 screws placed in my arm to put it back together.
This is the picture before the screws. Things that use to take me seconds now takes me minutes. I have been told the that "Universe always gives you what you need." I believe that Universe is God so I have been thinking why did I need this? Its not "oh why me, poor me" kinda question but rather what is the purpose of this annoyance? Here are some conclusions I've reached:
1) I needed to slow down. With all the wedding maddness and work and everything I really wasn't taking the time to enjoy being engaged! This is suppose to be fun right? Not stressful and a mad dash to get everything done. Designing my wedding invites and save the dates became another stress on my to do list instead of a soul searching experience to find a visual representation of Cody and I. Before I actually became engaged I looked at wedding blogs religiously dreaming of the invites that I would come up with for my wedding. Now that the time was here and I didn't want to even think about my wedding invites. The last two weeks since I moved at the pace of a turtle I really have had time to sit back and dig deep for my wedding invites.
2) I realized how poorly I used my time before. There was always tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow, I'll start this project tomorrow. However tomorrow could leave you with only one working arm for a period of time. My goal/dream is life is become a successful surface/graphic designer. One of these projects included to start a line of tea towels and textiles. I have done nothing to start these, they just remain in my head. So since I've been on the couch for almost a week I realized why the "blank" didn't I start that before? I have the time but I wasn't making it. It's the same with this blog. I have such big dreams with this blog yet I haven't updated it in months!!!!!!! Taking a moment to sit back and think about things has really been eye opening.
3) Lastly, I need to start living in the moment and stop taking for granted the life I have. Its amazing how something as little as a broken arm can make you realize what you have.
Who knew being broken would put me back together?
