Oh, wow! I love sales!

My fiancé and I decided we want to have a really small and intimate wedding with just family and a few friends. I've already booked the photographer (who is my amazingly talented cousin. Dani VanSteelandt check her out, seriously.), venue, found caterer, ordered my dress and shoes, and I've kinda sorta figured out a bunch of other details. That was a few months ago and for the last while I've become pretty lazy about the whole planning process. It's not until next July and its a pretty minimal affair so I'd like to save some of the planning to stretch out until spring.
As I mentioned in a previous post (if you haven't read it click here), we're having it at a lake we love that's basically in the middle of nowhere. Sort of a hillbilly destination wedding, if you will. The people attending the wedding will have to rent cabins (they're pretty rustic and about the cost of a standard hotel room) and the camp books up pretty fast so the reservations will have to be made in the next couple of months. So, to end this seemingly pointless rant with its actual point, I'm going to need to send out invitations ASAP. I headed to my local Michael's to collect some materials for DIY invitations and RSVP's. I went to the wedding invitation section to gather some inspiration and *cue angels singing* I found a box of invites in the PERFECT colour for only 10 bucks! It includes invite cards, directions cards, RSVP's with envelopes, pretty pocket thingers to put it all in, ribbon to tie that with AND stickers to hold the ribbon closed. All blank so that I can personalize it! I couldn't have bought supplies to make them myself for less than that! I'm so happy with them and I'll definitely post a picture of the finished product. I can't wait to make them!



My winning sales streak didn't end there. I went to the store to pick up some formula for my little ninja and decided to peruse the beauty department. I found L'oreal Elnett satin hairspray, which is normally 15.99, on sale for 6 bucks.

Then I found Revlon super lustrous lipstick in gentlemen prefer pink, normally about 9 dollars, on sale for 3.69!

I was feeling pretty happy with my dealio's so I headed on over to the baby section to pick up the formula. It is normally 35 dollars and it was on sale too! Only 28 bucks! Feelin pretty lucky, I stopped on the way home and picked up a lotto ticket too. How could I not? Cross your fingers for me! ;)
