Honeymoon Part 1

Over the next few days, I have decided it would be fun to post some Honeymoon pics and give you guys into a peek of what we did while we were in New York. We arrived there late Sunday night and the first thing that I had on my list was to scope out where I could find the AMAZING Tinsel Trading Company that I have heard so much about. This store has been featured on many blogs of the people around the scrap and crafting world. Tim Holtz is a HUGE fan of the place and he has blogged about it a couple of times. I think that he even taught there. So, the first night we look up the address and PRAISE THE LORD it was on the same street as our hotel. The next morning or should I say afternoon we woke up and headed straight there. Here are some photos of the store!






And, of course, Shane had to snap me in action!


So, the store is amazing!There is an entire wall of flowers, an entire wall of ribbon and lace...lots of vintage Christmas decorations and lots of vintage Christmas paper ephmera and just so much stuff that I can't even begin to list. Let's just say it was pure heaven for me and I'm sure it would be for most of ya'll too! It is just a great store to visit and experience. I spent a good bit of money but I felt like I could have bought one of everything. Shane was so patient and sweet as always and let me have a panic attack and freak out in the middle of the store because I couldn't contain the excitement. I came home with a few little vintage embellishments six vintage christmas trees and lots of Christmas paper ephmera. I also got some goodies for Vera for her Christmas gift.

It was nice to be able to shop and feel some creative ideas flowing again. Be back with more peeks this weekend!



By the way..we still have a few spots open for the crop this weekend. Sign up today! Call or e-mail us1

A married lady

Well two weeks ago I was Ashley Marie Robinson. I was 24 and engaged but definately not married. I was living alone and worrying about taking care of myself. Now, I am Ashley Robinson Burke. I am still 24 but now I am married. Shane has moved in and I now have to do two sets of laundry and worry if he has something to eat for his lunch when he goes to work. Being married is fun and different. I am enjoying the extra time I get to spend with Shane and the security of having someone to get wrinkled with.

The wedding was absolutely amazing. I really can't even describe it to you guys in words. It is like floating through a dream the entire time. It was beautiful and absolutely more than I could have ever dreamed of. That wedding was my full time job for a year and it was amazing to see it come to pass. I want to thank my friends and family and everyone that made that day possible.

I haven't gotten any wedding photos yet but here are some of my bridals. They are done by Mr. Clint Shuttlesworth. He is out of Houston. You can check him out at clintdoesablog.com or clinttakesphotos.com! He's the bomb diggity. So here is a peek at the bridals!









Now that we are home and the wedding planning is over, I am so ready to dive back into the store. I want the store to succeed so badly and I want to be around for a long time. With your help and support, I know that this can happen. I am bringing all of my scrap stuff home next week and I am burying my self in that scraproom to come up with a couple of classes for the new year. I am also placing a few orders within the next couple of weeks of some mid-releases from some of your favorite companies.

Hope to see you soon!
