Last Minute Projects

June 1st, 2010 @ 12:46 pm by Mrs. Ribbons

I am the queen of procrastination when it comes to DIY projects, and I have proof.

Exhibit A: Our cake topper.

Exhibit B: The gift box. Confession: semi-DIY. I asked a salesgirl at the Kate Spade store if I could have a large gift box, and she obliged.

Exhibit C: The menus. They are not kitty-proof.

Exhibit D: Table numbers.

Exhibit E: Tags for the whoopie pie favors.

Exhibit F: Door tags for the ceremony and the reception entrances. The IMU is large and confusing. The poodles are a long story.

So that’s what I’ve been up to. How do you cope with deadlines?

I am also procrastinating on a lot of my projects! I keep telling myself I will get them done… yet I keep on adding more to my never-dwindling list. Aaahh wish me luck that I finish before the big day arrives. Good luck to you too.

Don’t even get down on yourself about procrastinating, Miss Ribbons! Those projects aren’t finished but they are sooo stylish and cohesive design-wise. You’re off to a great start! (And you have a quite a bit more done than I do!)

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I can’t wait to see how it all turns out! I know this was supposed to be a post about procrastination, but what stood out to me was the sheer amount of projects you were able to tackle (and using a Kate Spade box is totally resourceful if you ask me).

Aw you’re all too nice.
@froggy518: I guess the point I didn’t make was that I function the best under tight deadlines :)
