I checked 3 things off my to-do DIY list last night, and I felt pretty good. Then I looked at the rest of it...and now i'm overwhelmed!! Anyone else feel this way? I know i still have 121 days, but holy cow that is a lot to do in 121, by myself, while working full time and being Mommy to 2 little ones.

The list, as of today, stands at:

1. Fix picture frames (those will be done this weekend)

2. Finish last set of pomanders (before the mega-puff session in Lansing next trip)

3. Finalize programs

4. Print, cut and bind programs (193 or so depending on Tom’s list)

5. Cut and sand the other 100 wine corks

6. Batch and bottle wine (also in Lansing next trip)

7. Origami cranes all 1000 of them.

8. Fix hangers – drill bigger holes so the wires will stick

9. Signage – tag board (bathroom baskets, dancing shoes, cupcakes, candy bar, signature drinks)

10. Signage – wood (still noodling on this idea)

11. Do the calligraphy on the invites

12. Cut the escort cards

13. Calligraphy on escort cards

14. Calligraphy on kid escort cards

15. Decorate the kid escort cards

16. Center piece winner tags

17. Menu cards

18. Table name cards

19. Readers cards

20. Paint the wishing tree (after step father cuts it for me J )

21. bridesmaids dancing shoes

Done:1. Card box2. Program box3. Wishing tree tags4. Flower girl shoes

5. 92 pomanders
6. STD cards

That is so funny that you just posted this. When I woke up this morning I thought to myself, "MAN, this really stinks, I stated going to these forums to save me some money", now I have all of these extra projects that I can not live without. LOL

that is exactly it! I could have been quite happy not knowing about cranes and pomanders. Now they are on the top of the list. :)

Good luck!

Ha! I totally get you, my list started out with like 20 things on it. I haven't updated it yet but I need to add in 7 more for a grand total of 75 items!! Pinterest isn't helping me either. I see something and pin it just to figure out how I can add that too!
