hello guys welcome back to my channel K
saw the camera and instantly started
running over here she was looking so
cute today with a little outfit that I
bought her at Target and her little
kolita but we got home it is Saturday
night she's ready for bed she's ready
for
pajamas okay hey hey
hey wants to talk to you guys so bad but
anyways guys it is Saturday night I
started working on the boxes as you guys
can see by the title of this video I
started working on the boxes for our ma
of honors and our man of honor the main
man the best man boxes and I'm so
excited for how they're going to come
out and just giving it to them so we're
going to get into the details of that
but I'm using this free time without the
kids trying to grab everything to get
the boxes going because I really want to
give it at least to the girls during
this weekend since it's Mother's Day
weekend I feel like it'll be perfect to
kind of make it like a Mother's Day gift
which they will have no idea that it's
actually me asking them to be uh my maid
of honors and right now I'm getting the
Cricut my Cricut going which I have let
me show you guys I have this one right
here which is the Cricut Joy like a mini
version of the actual big Cricut so far
I love it I discovered this one when a
lot of you guys would always tell me Les
why don't you get a cricket why don't
you get a cricket since you guys see
that I like to be really Hands-On and do
a lot of DIY and I was like wait I
looked into it and I'm like do I really
want a cricket and then I found this one
which so far has been great I obviously
don't do a lot of like DIY projects
maybe once a month which I feel like it
gets the job done if I was trying to do
a lot of projects for like a small
business then I'm sure the Cricut the
actual big Cricut would be a better
investment I have used it so far about
maybe five to six times and I feel like
the more I use it every single time I
learn something new and the easier it
gets but even then like this alone takes
me a while just setting it up turning it
on and I start messing with like the
fonts and like and all the little like
things and little details that it has
which I want to start using it more
because like I said I feel like the more
I use it the easier it gets and the more
I I find like you know little tips and
tricks on things that it has I feel like
just like anything this is something you
kind of have to play with and use it and
experiment with for you to really get
the hang of it so so if you Cricket
professionals out there have any like
top tips and tricks for me let me know
down below anyways I finished one box
let me show it to you guys I was on
Pinterest looking up like ideas and inso
and I saw this and I'm like oh my God I
wish I had time to like order a custom
box and it literally clicked to me like
wait I have a Cricket like I think I can
do this by myself and I just finished
printing out my sisters so I won't go
too into detail since this is not a
cricet tutorial but I basically printed
what I wanted for it to say the size the
font and everything on my Cricket and
then the boxes so these are from Amazon
and the quality is so good I ordered two
boxes for the girls and then one box for
the guy which thank God for Amazon Prime
because well not everything but a lot of
things do deliver the next day so I
ordered this yesterday got here today
and I just really want to finish up the
boxes this week because we are four
weeks not four weeks four months away
from the wedding that I feel like
letting them know and getting all of
that situated has to happen like now I'm
going to do this one now and show you

okay we're back so the boxes are
basically done there's only two since
it's only going to be for my sister and
my best friend Crystal we thought about
this for a while and me and Alex both
decided on not having a Cort however I
really really really wanted to have my
sister and my best friend Crystal has
been my best I mean obviously my sister
has been my sister my whole life and my
best friend I've been best friends with
her for 12 years now so I really wanted
to have both of them somehow be a part
of my wedding so I have decided to ask
both my sister and Crystal to be my mate
of Honor however my sister has the
matron of honor title since she has been
married and has had a wedding before
which is something I kind of learned so
maate of honor is for your single
not-married friend or person and matron
of honor is for somebody that has
already been married is married and has
already had their wedding hence my
sister and my best friend so yeah it
just feels right it worked out perfect
Alex is going to have one best man and
I'm going to have my two mates of honors
and I will be having both since I really
could not pick they are both so special
in their own way in my life and neither
of them are expecting this because I had
told them that we had agreed on us not
having a cord and going that route
however they do not know that they will
be um still part of my wedding be my
maides of honors and they're both going
to be just completely shocked but yeah
they are two very very special women and
part of my life that I'm like I have to
have my sister and like my best friend
for life they're with me as my Maids of
honors so yeah I was actually able to
find a lot of things obviously Made of
Honor but matron of honor is also a
whole thing which again I kind of just
discovered I mean I mean I had never
really known or looked into like the
matron and Made of Honor till now that
she's a and about to get married and I'm
like oh my God it's perfect because
again my sister is married and Crystal
is not married so I'm going to show you
guys what I put in their boxes I asked
Crystal if she could come in an hour
today is Mother's Day so I was like do
you want to stop here before we're going
to spend it at my sisters she's hosting
and Crystal's coming so a lot of the
holidays Crystal actually spent it with
my family she's literally a part of my
family so I was like oh stop at my house
and then from here we'll go to my
sister's and I told her I got her like a
little Mother's Day present so that's
what she's thinking that it is so they
open up and I love how this came out
guys saw what I wrote I was waiting to
open it up with you guys and kind of see
them for the first time with you guys
I'm going to leave her at right here
Cassie had posted her and I went to her
page and I was like oh my God I need her
in my life this is perfect so she made
these for me and she was amazing at it I
actually also got something for my SED
off for Mother's Day let me show it to
you guys oh my God this is perfect you
guys know that she loves to decorate her
kitchen and she always has like cutting
boards and display according on the
season it says Vern's kitchen where
there is Unlimited Supply of treats for
GA and gelli this is so cute for her to
display it so that's that and I made
kristo and my sister their own my
heart's beating fast I feel like I'm
starting to get nervous because I'm
going to give give them the Box both of

day this is I knew this picture was
going to come in handy one day and then
for
Crystal this one is hers this picture we
actually took it the day that I got
engaged hence why I'm like holding my
ring this one I wrote to my best friend
everyone deserves a person like you
who's been there through it all you're
the one that I can turn to any hour of
the day my maid of honor but most
importantly my best friend forever love
less now let me show you guys your boxes
