XP: 29 days left...on a DIY roll! (PIP heavy)

gpapale1 · April 2012

**Sorry PIP is not working very well, so I've added links instead.**

Well, I finally have been getting my butt in gear with the 182341234 DIY projects that were still left on my to-do list, and I'm happy to say I've actually gotten quite a bit done!

1. I changed out the ribbon on the pomanders I bought from afloral.com, and added a peacock feather.
Before:

After:

2. I made all 9 boutonnieres: 6 GMs, 2 dads, and FI.
FI's bout:

4. I decorated the bird cage I bought for our cards.

I still have a bunch left to do, but it makes me feel much better after crossing these things off the list!

Aw, it all looks great- LOVE your bout's!

You're very inspiring- I've found since about 2 weeks out, I've pretty much said "ef it" to all the DIY stuff I had left. Get it done while you still have the steam!!!

Haha, my thoughts exactly! I stayed home today because I'm not feeling too hot, and I figured I should get a few projects done so this day isn't a complete waste!
