About Mrs. Cherry Blossom

Everyone around is me a verbal countdown clock. It’s great, I’m super excited that they’re excited for me. But literally, each time someone says, a few more weeks to go…. my mental checklist, the WHOLE list flashes through my head. And my heart skips a few beats.

Here’s an update on the To Do’s that keep going on and on …

Le favors are coming together. I used my card box, prewrapped as a mixer… that’s 20 lbs of jelly beans - NUTSO sugah high I tell ya.

Thanks to my wonderful BMs (and a groomsman!), tonight we tackle tags which I’ve already punched out and just need to stuff through ribbon (which will be hell).

Because I’m crazy and I don’t think I have enough things to do, I am stuffing a tissue in glassine envelopes to put on the inside cover of our programs :)

How are you dealing with ticking of the clock as it nears? Did you set up a cut off time of when things could and should get done?  And if  you couldn’t finish, did you take them off your list so you could relax?!

yay!!! well, i know you’re stressed out, but this project looks really good!

and i want to personally thank you for telling us how you made your graphic. i knew that others were creating things in Ppt but for my life, i couldnt figure out how to save anything i created as a useable graphic.

duh!

Thanks for stating the embarrassingly obvious.

:)

Miss CB- these are beautiful! you inspire me :)
Did you get those little boxes (for the votives) from cudge.net? Or did you have to buy them separately–if so, where from? thanks!!

Seriously genius idea. May steal. So cute.

Re: cut off time - today was my day! I promised myself I’d give myself a full week to relax, with no projects. I still have one or two really small things to finish, but after last night’s last all nighter, today was the first day I woke up feeling totally relieved and stress free.

Definitely recommend finishing a week early so you can chill. :)

Miss CB,

Please post a tutorial for the tags :) I can’t figure out how to make ‘em print back to back so it’ll fit 1 square or circle tag. Also, did you use an inkjet or color laser?
