My sister's last formal

This past weekend was my sister's last DBS (high school sorority) formal. She has gone the past three years, and it's been fun watching and helping her get ready for them. 

She borrowed the dress from a good friend since she is going to her senior prom next month...dresses are EXPENSIVE!

She went with her boyfriend of almost a year!

The group she was going with went to one of their friends house to make pictures since it is GORGEOUS! It was raining most of the day but the front porch was big enough and made for a great place to make most of the pictures! Seriously, beautiful white porch. 

Mady asked me to do her hair. I thought at first she just wanted to curl it and put it half up, so I agreed. Then she said she wanted to wear it up. It turned out better than I thought but I was definitely nervous about it!!

We actually practiced the weekend before to make sure we found an up-do she liked  and if I could do it lol. We tried on up-do and it was just not working...at all. So we went with another one and it turned out a lot better. I told her she couldn't lay down for the rest of the week until her formal so it would last ;) It was a good thing she chose to do an up-do because the weather was gross on Saturday! Now, I just need to learn how to do this on my own hair and we will be set!

We ended up going on Sunday to get her prom dress...it is so cute and she looked great in it! 

It was a busy weekend but we had a good time!!

I can't believe she is a senior and will be starting COLLEGE next year. Next month she turns 18! #proudbigsister

My sister's last formal

My SISTER has a blog!!!!

A couple of months ago my sister started a blog! She has been tweaking it and learning along the way how blogging works. Recently she has been blogging periodically. She's a senior in high school and always on the go. I'm so sad I didn't think of blogging while I was in high school. I would have LOVED to look back at my high school posts!! A couple of days after I got engaged she surprised me with a sweet gift and she has written a post on it to share with y'all!

 

So here she is!!

Hey yall, my name is Madison from Initially Yours, MK. I was ecstatic when Shelby asked me to do a guest post on her blog! This is my first guest post so I decided to write about the engagement basket I made for my sister, Shelby.

So I got the idea from Pinterest and I tweaked it a little bit to make it fit the needs of my sister.

I started out by buying this basket at Walmart for $1.

I then picked out two wedding magazines for her to flip through and get ideas from. $5.99 and $6.99 a piece.

I bought a spiral notebook for her to write down any wedding notes down in. $2.47

I bought a cute chevron note pad for .88 and Paper Mate Pens for $4.97. Next I bought sticky note tabs for Shelbs to mark certain spots in the magazines for any ideas she likes. $1

My mom helped me pick out a cute little sign just to put in for decoration $5 and a bottle of relaxing body wash $5.97.

To top the basket off I picked out a candle $3.00, sticky notes $1.27, and Essie nail polish $8 because the bride to be's nails must ALWAYS be painted perfectly when showing off her ring. Also I placed a bottle of Welch's Sparkling Grape Juice in because I know it's her favorite and it's non alcoholic of course!

She was really surprised and loved it!

It was really exciting to see her reaction when she received the basket. And I cannot wait for her wedding!!!!

Any ideas about what else can be added?

Initially Yours, MK
