...and what did i find...

but of course i found stuff at hobby lobby....

i returned my paint and after fifteen minutes i was on my way (ridiculous i say! to get back $1.24. the manager had to come over and what not. seriously, why have the person working the register process the return if they can't even give me the money back!).

i did find some good deals. one of my wedding projects is to create a card box on my own. i found the idea online. you take hat boxes, or plain boxes and decorate them. i love the way it looks.

just imagine these decorated with a hole cut in the top! now i will be looking for wrapping paper for them. i wonder if i could paint them? hm. i found these at hobby lobby. total price for both, less than $10! steal huh? considering michael's wanter $12.99 for the big one. these unfortunately were not on sale, but for the price, i couldn't pass them up! blake even helped too. they are hidden away in my room to keep him away from them. putting stuff in them is just too much fun for him. i cannot wait to paint the k and put some small flowers around it on top of the box. cannot wait to get out my glue gun.

i also made another purchase...

some great green ribbon! ribbon is 50% off at hobby lobby right now. and i got the balls for my pomanders. $4.77 for six beats michael's at $4.99. plus hobby lobby is in richmond, not lexington. i was reading up on them online, looks like they're more time consuming than what i thought. i want to try to make one this weekend. i also need to see if i can go over to waco baptist to take pictures and try to plan how many i need to make. i don't want to be last minute trying to accomplish all my diy ideas. that would really stink.

and last but not least...

super cute foam sparkly letters. i think i am going to try to make a sign for our door with them. they were too cute to pass up for .50 cent each! good thing about having a short new last name! hehe.

what a great day! i forgot to mention earlier that i ordered sample invitations. i ordered one of these and one of these. i think i want to go with the first one, but i want to see the color difference between the two. super cheap and cute. just the way i like it.
