Too many etsy purchases!

amberr110

I'm avoiding real work, so I'm buying everything on etsy.  Cute Mr. and Mr forks for the cake tasting, "I do" stickers for my shoes, a mrs. futurelastname hanger for my dress, and cufflinks with our names and wedding date for my FI.

how fun! I know its sad but shopping almost gives me more satisfaction than making it ourselves!

Shopping on there is totally fun - but I stopped myself with the hanger and made it myself.

Honestly, for most things, I'd probably prefer to buy it. However, I either couldn't find it or I was able to and assumed I could make it myself for much cheaper. It hasn't always worked out in my benefit though. I spent well over a $100 on my card box, when I thought I could do it for like $50. Same with my BM gifts, I thought I could do more if I made some things myself. I've now spent a little over $100 on each of my 7 girls, plus an extra chunk for a mani/pedi for my sister and something else that I have yet to decide on for my MOH. I should have just gone with my original Coach wristlet plan. Oh well.. :)

It will be worth it in the end. I'm sure I'll have some slight sense of satisfaction when I look around at my wedding and see all the personal touches I added myself. :)

Etsy is the DEVIL!  I seriously want to buy so much from there. I have already made quite a few purchases from there!  I really want to try to DIY things but I am just so afraid to attempt it and fail...now that would be a waste of time and money that I am not willing to risk!
