................................

this past weekend, mr. rikrak & i celebrated, among our wonderful canadian thanksgiving family parties, our lovely lovely wedding anniversary!

oh weddings! such fun!
we have both always adored this time of year, and this holiday, & so we had our own fun handmade wedding party a few years ago at thanksgiving!

at our own DIY wedding, we tried to have as many fun fun handmade elements as we could: we celebrated outdoors at a family farm. we had a delightful homemade potluck. ( you KNOW how i love potluck parties!), we played around a funfun bonfire. we danced to the music crafted by our wonderful family members. we played as many fun handmade games & activities as we could on our wedding weekend, and at the wedding! the flowers, the decor, the thank you treats, the invites , the *everything-we-could* was handmade. yay handmade!

so in honour, today i'm launching a fun new challenge for you, lovely rikrak studio readers! i'll calling on all of you to submit a fun idea for the upcoming posts to do with my favourite time of year - and favourite wedding time of year - the lovely autumn.

:: here's what to do ::
