I know I know, everyone told me not to worry about a little spelling typo. Everyone said that no one would even notice. But I was losing sleep over one stupid little “S”, and someone was bound to notice. A guest at the wedding would very quietly mention that I had a small error on the menus assuming that I hadn’t already noticed. And then I would be the bride who was going to have the urge to hit a guest for bringing up the stupid mistake that had made me lose sleep for the past four months. I just didn’t want to be that girl.*

Instead, I redid them, and here they are in all their completed and properly spelled glory! I literally put the very last one together and ran to check it off the monster list. Because of the error (I swear I will never ever for the rest of my life forget that dessert has two ’s’es, and not one…) this was by no means a paper friendly product. It uses two sheets to begin with, all from PaperSource. The backing is red and the top is pure white, both cover weight. It just broke my heart to waste that much. So I decided I would give it a whirl and try to reuse the red. Poor Mr. Cloud had no idea what we were getting into. I had used about four different types of adhesive until I settled on the Xyron adhesive runner Miss Duckling used on her STDs. I highly recommend the stuff; it worked like a dream! But everything I used was a mess trying to get it off. And it took forever. Like a champ, he hung in with me (probably for fear that I might cry again over the silly things!). He ended up sitting like this for a few nights straight, picking away, at all 220 menus. I still love them and the way they turned out, but I am SO glad this project is done!

Did you have any DIY projects that you were more then happy to finally finish?

*I’m only half kidding. I sure hope I am not worried about things at that point. But right now, as the groomsmen are cracking jokes about eating “desert”, it’s not funny just yet. And I know them well enough, sothey might get hit.
