  I've done a ton!  Right now I am waiting for my crystals for my cake topper to come!  I ordered one from Crafty Eddy and plan on putting dark silver crystals on top. I also plan on doing wine cork escort card holders.  Then for a more simple project-bathroom baskets and OOT welcome bags.
  
  I've also done a photo cardbox, a photo guestbook, we did our own invites (from a kit but did the inserts and envelopes). I also made a few signs, and "do not disturb" door hangers, and some stuff off of vista print-like photoshare cards, a welcome note for the OOT bags, and a car door magnet for our getaway car :-)

  I have some in my bio.  It's been a while since I've updated it, but some of my favorites (card box, parasol) are in there.  I'm working on petal fan programs right now.  They're a PITA, but turning out really nicely!

  I'm working on tissue paper pomanders right now and also researching ways to make flowers to use in the flower arch at our ceremony spot and maybe some to give to our mothers too.

  I haven't started anything yet...I'm worried I might change my mind about things if I start too early!  I am doing a walk through of the venue with my florist in about a month, am hoping that will inspire me.

  I have a lot fo time until my wedding (April 2012), but there is one idea I definitely want to do.  I saw it in a Martha Stewart crafting book.  Sand candles-you pack a mold of wet sand then mold the candle wax in the sand, candles come out with a light layer of sand.  We are having our wedding on the bay, so they'll be perfect as part of the centerpiece.

  Done:
  STD
  Invitations
  Shower Gift Notepad (instead of just a piece of paper); it's flat and I can put it in my scrapbook when I get to that point!
  
  Currently working on:
  Menu Place cards (as replies come in)
  Seating chart -- designed, but not ready to print
  Artwork for the reception -- I took the picture I'm using for my avatar and enlarged it to 24x16 and printed it in 4x6 "tiles" which will be attached to white foam core and framed. There will be a bit of a gap between the photo tiles. It just looks cool. I did another one of us with a different background. I need to do two more.
  Guest Book
  OOT boxes
  more stuff I can't think of right now
