I did not do a lot of wedding stuff in the last week.  I did find out the stamp I ordered is now in the mail.  Soon it will be time to emboss/stamp some napkins.  I really hope Hobby Lobby has my tools on sale next week. 
I did start working on programs.  I got a start but Joel and I have a lot to decide on before I continue.  It is a work in progress for sure!

I would love this snow storm to really happen but I am not sure I have enough DIY projects to fill my time.  I posted the pictures of two more options for the ring bearer pillows.  I decided I did not Love the first ones that I made and since they were a whole $2 to make; I don't mind starting over.  So please share your opinion on which pillow you like best. 
I recieved my 350 blue crystals for the cake topper that I still have not ordered yet.  So you think 350 would be enough but um...nope...it is not going to be enough I am afraid of.  I will be ordering the letter H this week that I will cover in the crystals.  I will post the progress of that as well. 
I was hoping to get the stamp in the mail that I ordered but not here yet.  I am going to try embossing the napkins.  Why not?  If it doesn't work it is just one napkin that I have to throw away.  (reason #25 that this longer engagement is not such a bad deal...I have time to try stuff and throw it out if I don't like it!)  Maybe that is a good Blog idea...all the good reasons for our longer engagement! 
Seriously though, what am I going to do if I am stuck in house for 5 days with

Saturday night I decided that I want to have personalized napkins during our cocktail hour.  I did some price comparison and decided this will be another DIY project.  For the stamp and napkins it will run me under $30.  You can pay $25 for 30 personalized napkins or something crazy like that.  I figure it will be a fun and easy project once the stamp gets here.  Now it is time to find nice napkins on sale!

I sewed the ring bearer pillows and attached the flower to them.  That took some muscles.  I had to use the plyers to pull the needle through the pillow when I was stringing the ribbon through them. I will have to get opinions on how they look. 

I wanted to do the memory charm today but the printer decided it was Sunday and did not want to work.  I guess I will have to print it at lunch tomorrow.  I got photo paper and have two different pictures of my dad so I can decide which one looks better when it is 1"by 1"!  I got the small frame at a store called Arty Crafty for 50%.  I figure that the florist can tie the charm into my bouque.  I will post pictures when I get it finished (hopefully sometime this week!)

So once the charm is done, then I have napkins to do.  I am going to need to find more projects!!!

Yesterday was the day to figure out the ring bearer pillow.  After spending an hour at Hobby Lobby wondering around ( I do that too often but only spent $6 for all that wondering).  First I got some light blue satin thinking it may work for the flower on the ring bearer pillow.  Then I headed to Hancock Fabric which I learned there that I can use the 40% off coupons from Hobby Lobby at Hancock!  Score!!!  So the fabric for the flower was less than $5!  I was very happy to pay that for taffeta.

Last night while watching TV with Joel I got my prunning sheers or what ever they are called and starting cutting.  I actually got the correct gage wire to tie the flower so I was very happy.  It gave Joel and I a chance to talk a little about the wedding.

So yesterday, ring bearer pillow flower is complete (very happy about that).  Now I need to make the pillow, re-phase I need to sew the pillow!

Today was a big day for wedding planning.  I signed the contract for reception hall.  With that I had to determine what time all the events are taking place.  The wedding is so far away but I am so excited.  I think the day will be fun.  I am glad I am breaking some of the Wisconsin traditions (the lag between ceremony and the reception will not be going on at our Wedding!)

I think this weekend will be a least one fun craft project for the wedding.  I am not sure what but I am sure I can find something to do!
