DIY Weekend Warrior
With only 3 days left to complete projects, I have officially kicked it up a notch.

This weekend I completed the flower pens for the guest sign-in table, the flower cones for the aisle (not pictured), the flower girls's halo & basket... reprinted the table numbers with the new design... & put the FI on program duty. I designed them & printed them, now he is putting them together... teamwork!

DIY Program Fans
They were not the programs I started out to make... but they sure were a lot easier to make.

The original program I designed was also a fan but consisted of 5 circular pages which bonded at the bottom to make a fan.

Being that I am getting short on time... and I am trying to hold stress at bay, the paddle program fan was a good alternative.

Now on to the next project to complete.


P.S. I also finished the table numbers today & near completion on the placecards.

DIY Cookie Buffet Jars
While I liked the idea of having a candy bar set up for favors... I'm just not a big candy kinda girl. I'm much more of a cookie kinda girl. As a matter of fact, I may be considered somewhat of a cookie monsteress.

Last weekend I added my chosen papers which I am using throughout the big day and made a lining in each of the 5 cookie jars.

There will be about 5 dozen cookies of each of 5 different types:

Chocolate Chip
Sugar
Peanut Butter
Macademia
And the Misters favorite... Oatmeal Raisin.

Next weekend I will be finishing off the jars with the ribbons & labels.

My Custom DIY Water Bottle (Labels)
I few weeks ago I posted the water bottle labels I designed. This week I printed them... they came out great & look really sharp on the water-proof labels.

The hardest part of this project was actually lining up the labels on the bottles. I'm glad I only design labels for other brides & do not offer the service of adding the labels.

Cake Tasting!
Can you say "YUM?" I don't even eat / like cake... I thought this cake was amazing. I especially do not eat chocolate cake but... the chocolate cake the baker made tasted like a slice of heaven.

I do not know what was used to make that cake, but bless the baker who came up with that recipe.

DIY Monogram Cake Topper... Heaven Help Me
I want to start off by saying, that after all of the DIY projects I have done so far... and many aren't even posted yet... THIS one was by far the MOST tedious (sp). I seriously think we should start a support group for brides who take on the "crystalization" of monogram topper projects.

With that said... it's done. Not many crystals were added, as you can see. Appearantely adding crystals is not so much my fortay.

Oh... but don't think that will stop me from "crystalizing" the rest of my scheduled DIY projects.

My DIY Table Numbers & Place Cards
I only have a few more table numbers to make & about half of the place cards to finish. These projects should be finished by next weekend.

Hopefully!

The table numbers each have 3 sides, each with a different photo. The pictures either have a pink or green tint with the opposite color number & border.

The place cards are each two seperate pieces (see directions in a previous post) & stand on their own.

Sa-weet!
