June 2012 March Siggy Challenge: Honeymoon location 215 Invited so far! 160 Are ready to party! 30 Will be missing out! 25 Are MIA!
I gave up on making our table runners, and was surprised to find out how freakin cheap they are to buy online. So, I went ahead and ordered them instead of trying to figure out another way of doing it with the supplies I had. CHECK!
We've also now heard back from basically everyone I expected to respond. There's a few stragglers, but they're known to need to be reminded or people we did not expect to travel 3000+ kms to come.
Finished my cork table number holders last night. Today I'm going to work on our card box. We spray painted it 4 times, and think it's ready for ribbon and stickers. Also hope to talk with the Pastor today too.
