Donna & Danny - 8 August 2009

Saturday was the second Wedding of the year! I made the Day Invitations, the Evening Invitations and also the place cards for Donna and Danny. And doesn't she look lovely! Much changed from the usual Busy Bees nursery uniform of dark blue!

I took the boys to watch and we just about got there in time - normally it would take us just 25 mins and it took an hour due to the football traffic....

We were invited to the Evening Reception and the boys had a great time running around and dancing on the dance floor.

There was quite a bit of audience participation - the DJ played most of the instruments, sang and got a little kids band going - Samuel who surprised us by saying he wanted to join in - so here he is!

I did video him too but its too long for my little blog to cope!

A great Wedding and evening - thank you Danny and Donna for inviting us!

The last Wedding is over the August Bank Holiday weekend up in Scotland - one of my cousins is getting married!

WIP - The Last of the Place Cards

Now, with a bit of luck, this shall be the last of the Wedding Place Cards that I have to make for some time! I made 105 of these, and now have just completed 101 of the ones below. The Place Cards will complement the Wedding Invitations and the Evening Invitations and are for the August Wedding.



And even though I bought 91 metres of the 16mm brown satin ribbon from Ribbon Oasis, I ran out! So have just bought some more - fantastic service and a lovely pouch of freebie ribbon too - thank you Ribbon Oasis!


So, what is left to do for the July Wedding? I need to complete the four Bridesmaid Thank You cards (virtually completed) and then make 100 Order of Service and then the Table Plan. Should keep me out of mischief for a while eh?!

WIP - Place Cards

I've not been able to keep up with all the challenges this week! I've had a number of orders and managed to get them completed, I'm part way through making the swop stuff for my partner in the Silkie Sue Swop , I'm trying to attempt to get suitcases packed as we go on holiday on 16 May for a week, trying to remember to help Samuel with his school homework each night. And to top it all I think I'm coming down with a really bad cold as I ache all over, sore throat and feel rough.... And I'll need to do some housework between now and going away as we look like we've been burgled!


Anyway, I've now completed 105 of these place cards and Hayley will be picking them up tonight. I've never tied so much ribbon in my life!

These go with the invites I blogged a while ago and the chocolate brown satin ribbon picks up part of the colour theme of the Wedding.

But this is not the last of making Place Cards - I have another 100 to make, very similar to these for Donna when I come back off holiday!

Fortunately, these didn't take too long to make - I did them in batches so the tediousness of it all wouldn't become too overwhelming. If I remember, I'll take some photos of them insitu at the Wedding. If I don't its either because I've forgotten or drunk too much.....

Actually, the blog title is a lie isn't it as I've now completed them!
