Happy Mail

Hello peeps!

Well not too much going on here this week. I'm working on a few wedding cards for me & Jessica to give the bride & groom & will post those when I'm finished. I messed up the first one & tried to fix it but I'm not sure if I'll use it or start over (probably start over), so I had to walk away for awhile & take a break.

Look what I got in the mail a few weeks ago...I luv it! Teri sent me a thank you card & a cute little snowman stamp! I hope you take the time to go on over to her blog & check it out, you won't be disappointed, she's so talented & you'll get lots of inspiration from her! Thanks Teri & so sorry it took me so long to post it.

For the next two weeks I'm relaxing & going tanning & doing all those high maintenance things I need to do before the wedding & go to the seamstress to get my dress. Quick post today sorry. Have a great day & thanks for stopping by today! Things will get back to normal soon.



Soooo cute, I luv it!!! Thanks Teri!

A Peek at what I've been Doing...

Hi Peeps!

I just had to share a little sneak peek with you all. This is what I've been doing for the last 5 or 6 weeks! I will have pictures of the favors & actual program folders after the wedding. So stay tuned for that. I will be going over to Marc & Sarah's later today to bring everything over there & work on the last of the picture frames for the tables & also to work on putting numbers of the tables on each favor. Tell you more about the favors soon. Well that's it for today, thanks for stopping by & have a great Sunday!!!


Folders waiting for the assembled fronts to be put on.



Assembly line...getting ready to assemble the front of the folders. Way too many layers but they are so beautiful! Inside folders are already done, after I assemble the fronts I have to put 1388 pearls on these babies!!!



There are 82 folders completed in this bin that I will be taking to Marc's house today. I ran out of pearls for 8 more folders that I have to do. Now I have to sit & wait to get them in the mail this week so that I can finish. I saved 2 folders, 1 for me & 1 to put in their wedding scrapbook. I made a total of 92 folders. Whew...glad that's almost done!



Frames with Table numbers on them. I still have 8 more to do later today at Marc & Sarah's house.

Good mornin' Peeps!

Just a quick post before I go upstairs to work on folders...I should be done by the weekend, I hope!

Here is the RAK I sent to my good friend Risa who celebrated a milestone birthday last week. Hi Risa...hope you had a wonderful birthday!

Second Wedding Folder Reject

Hi Peeps!

OMG Sandi & I had a blast Wednesday working on the wedding favors! We did lots of talking too! Sarah just has to write the table numbers beside each name label & then I can attach the ovals to the favors & we're done...the belly bands on the boxes are done & just waiting for the name tags. Thanks sooooooo much Sandi, I really appreciate it, your the BEST!!!
Sandi had me cracking up when she was using the ATG gun (she never used one before) & she got better with time but when she finished her hand felt sore & red...she was pressing too hard! It takes practice girlie...we've all been there, hehehe!!! Now I'm FREE to work on just the folders & I'd say I'm about 65% done. I hope to finish by next weekend. Thank God all of the cutting is finally over with...that was tough on my back because I don't know about you but I have to stand when I'm cutting. I have 50 more folders to finish the insides of, then I will be putting the fronts together & I need to put Metallic paste around my focal image layer (like on this top layer of this folder with the branch). I can't wait for you to see it & tell me what you think but it has to wait till after the wedding...we don't want any guests seeing it...well Sandi got to see it & loved it!!!

I'm going to be a little lopsided for awhile unless I can find a way of working out on my left side....all that cranking on my cuttlebug ya know what I mean?! I got some workout boy with all those layers, hehehe!!!

So here is the other rejected folder, don't forget I didn't have any wedding paper so I had to improvise with what I had. I found this green paper that I had & went with that knowing of course that was not really going to be in the folder...we needed to look for something more elegant. So, Sarah took a Little from this one & a little from that one, took some elements out & well....you'll see the final results soon! That's it for today folks, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend & I'll talk to you again soon. I need to get back to work! Ta Ta for now!


I changed the main image & the inside (which had a wedding poem in it) so that I could give it to someone. I didn't want it to go to waste...I hope she likes it!
This folder has crystals on it.
