Watch out, Hallmark

Thursday, April 26th, 2007
I’ve been wanting to get into cardmaking for a while now, and with Sara’s wedding over I need a new hobby anyway. Yeah, a square card should prolly get a square envelope, but those cost more to mail. It’s not fair!

Programs in Action

 The guestbook table with the final programs. Sara & Co. did all of the manual labor, which was significant due to the fact that Staples can’t seem to print worth a damn. Sara made an excellent call by using the off-white cardstock as opposed to a bright white; the overall effect was much warmer and more sophisticated. The basket is another find from my favorite store; a glue gun and some silk cherry blossoms make it magical. This pulled double-duty by also holding the favor bags at the bridal shower. I still have a TON of leftover cherry blossoms, too.

my garden grows great as long as i remember to water them all…there’s my chinese maple going off the chain; the morning glory that’s taking over the porch; my peppermint whichis hanging in there; the new, bright red gerbera daisy for Jim; my galvanized tin of carnations that will look incredible when they bloom; and the pretty pink flowers I rescued from the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart, hanging out with the new light-pink plant I got from the zoo (which is supposed to attract butterflies.)

Made for Sara’s shower, this one was too cute to just pack up or put on eBay. Silks and ribbon from Michael’s.  

It lives!

just over a week ago, this wisteria was a single stick in a pot. Now it’s growing like crazy. There may be no stopping it.
