Still ridin the mo' train...

And by "mo" I am of course referring to momentum. This week, I have crossed two more "little things" off my list! Anyone who reads regularly may remember the coloring books that I blogged about a while back. I needed a holder for the coloring books, so I made one that would match the basket for our programs. Here is the finished product:


This was a reeeeally easy project, but I think it will give a nice effect since it will match the program basket. I also finished my flip flop buckets, and the signs for these buckets. For anyone who is new to this idea, you basically offer flip flops at your reception to any women (or men, if you choose) who want to kick off their heels and boogie in something more comfortable! Here are some pictures of the flip flops, signs and finished product:





I wrapped each pair of flip flops in ribbon simply for the presentation. I think they look much more enticing that way! I also put the sizes on the toe area so that it would be easier to find your size, rather than searching through several buckets. Those tags peel right off. I love this idea not just for the functionality, but also for the extra splash of color. I really hope that the ladies at our reception will actually put these babies to good use!

More D.I.Y. for M.E.

Last week, I made a 5-page list of everything that I need to do over the next 250 days (yeah I know, it seems like a lot of days) before the wedding, and feeling overwhelmed, I decided to get a few of the easy DIY projects out of the way. Here's what I crossed off the list:

A sign to put in the center of the candy buffet with a quote about candy or sweet or something:

Naturally, I had to go with "Sweet like candy to my soul, Sweet you rock and sweet you roll" from Crash by Dave Matthews Band:


I also finished my coloring books from DIY Bride:


Honestly, whoever created that coloring book file deserves an award or something. It has been used so many times, and is still such a great touch! My final project was my Program Basket:

EDIT: The "Programs" thing on the front of the basket is not actually crooked, I just took the picture before it was glued on for good! It does look a little shabby in the picture!

More on my actual programs when I finish them.. I am in love with them! It seems like a small amount of things, but just crossing 3 to-dos off of my 5 page list felt like a huge accomplishment!
