So I went a bit diy crazy a few weekends ago and decided I was going to do all these cute things I've been seeing in pictures on etsy. I figured I better get it all done before classes start again so I bought everything that I needed at once. I turned my living room into crafters central for 3 days and you know what?.....Lemme tell you....I should have let the etsy crafters do it for me because apparently I have no crafty bones in my body anymore. I did manage to make small paper flowers (185) in 3 colors which I plan on incorporating with my place cards, spray painted some Mr. and Mrs. wooden letters and picture frames for cake table, made drink stirrers, and attempted those pomerander balls. I gave up after the first ball because it looked awful. I guess I don't have the patience to puff the tissue up. Or I gave up because I am pretty sure I have an acute case of carpal tunnel from making the paper flowers. I also attempted these chair things which looked terrible as well. So anyway, one other thing I learned is that crafting isn't cheap. I don't know why this was such a shock....I did work at Michaels in high school. I distinctly remember ringing up $500 orders all the time. Mine wasn't nearly that much but I'd say I spent about $70 on everything after returning what I could. If I ever find my camera, I'll post some pictures. I think my crafting days are done now. I think I will suck it up and pay for stuff for premade stuff from now on.
