How I made my Rockabilly scrapbook our guest book alternative
I didn’t want a guestbook where guests just signed their names — I knew we’d just look at it once and then shove it in a drawer. So I decided to make a guest scrapbook instead! Here’s how you can make one…
Lane & Jeff’s eco-conscious upcycled wedding
