Wedding Favour boxes


They're punched out, stamped, coloured, folded, filled, wrapped, tied and most importantly DONE! 70 favour boxes ready for the reception tables. My sister's wedding is in 3 days and we're in crunch time. Her and my dresses have just minor adjustments and then they're done. After days and days of trudging through the stores we found shoes. Now we have a day or two of rest before the final frenzy begins. We have folded hundreds of origami cranes and they will be strung and hung around the reception room and I am in the middle of making thank you cards. The most exciting thing is after this is all over my husband and I are going for 4 days to Melbourne!!!! Just the 2 of us!! I can't wait.

Hi Yvette,

You have just been tagged. You must list seven random things about yourself and then tag seven people.

By the way, I love Australia and it is my dream to visit there one day!

Have a great day!
Judi

I'm so jealous!! 4 days with a husband and no children. You will need a vacation after all the wedding chaos is over! It's starting to get humid down south--you can cut the air w/a knife. I know you don't miss that.
lol,

Very, very cute! I can't imagine making that many favors and folding all the cranes. Have a great time with your hubby. My dh and I had a night away on Saturday and it was soooooooo good to be together and not have to be mommy and daddy.

Ironically enough, dh's boss called today to tell him that they want him to work on a project in either Perth or Brisbane and he'll "get" to come home once a month. . .ummmmmm, we know travel is part of the job but that doesn't work for us since we've got the kids and I also work!

By the way, tag, you're it! You have to list 7 random things about yourself and then tag 7 others :-)
