About Mrs. Pencils

It’s official. Mr. Pencils and I have less than 5 days until we get hitched. This past week and weekend has been chock full of finalizing projects with more to come.

First up, I’d like to share the completed table “numbers”. To align with our travel theme, guests will be seated at places that Mr. P and I have traveled to together. These go with the luggage tags that I’ll reveal later this week, hee hee.

Most of the table frames were successes:

And some were not so awesome. Case in point: North Carolina. Forgive the sideways picture below:

Anyone see the big fail? Yep, there was no way Carolina was going to fit there. And even better? I had run out of lowercase a’s in that font. Mr. P suggested I do Carolina in a different sticker font, but I say, “no!”

I was sad that the a’s were gone..

And then I was mad. And… tried to… eat it?!?!

So I asked my trusty puppy for help. Boomer, what should we do?

She suggested we start over. So I did. And, again, North Carolina wasn’t going to fit. So hive, I present to you my worst table frame of the bunch (funnily enough, Mr. P saw it and said, “oh how neat! I love how different it is!” He’s so nice to me…).

Week of the wedding info: I still have four of these to complete because I keep forgetting to print the photos at CVS. This looks like a fun week of the wedding project, huh?

Did any of your projects have an odd-man-out?

I think that even with your “worst”, all of these are super cute and better than what I could do!

The table names came out really cool!
We’re doing the same thing! But it’s not finalized yet.

You can always cut the top ‘arm’ of a lower case ‘D’ and try that if you need any an ‘a’ for your last 4 :) I think it looks great, though :)
