Time to post pics of my first DIY project! I made Ellie badges from the movie UP. It's one of our favorites. It's just the sweetest story. FH and I both cry everytime we see it. And DUG! We have a miniature horse...uh, I mean, a golden retriever named Maverick who I think they modeled Dug after. I swear they are the same dog! And if Maverick could talk, he'd talk just like Dug. Meet Maverick:

So, I am going to attach the Ellie badges to the welcome bags, and ask that everyone wear them for the ceremony and dessert party. I am so happy with the way they turned out! I'm not the most crafty person, and although I enjoy it and have great fun, I usually end up messing SOMETHING up. But, I have to say, no complaints so far about these guys! YAY! So, here is the front of the badge:

and here is the back...

sorry it's so blurry...I'm having trouble uploading photos. What a pain! But hopefully you get the general idea...we also made a card to go with it:
