hello, hello...

so much going on - and i've had to be careful not to overbook myself. trying to avoid burnout - there's just too much to do to panic now. ;)

my big task this week is wedding invitations. hoping to get them finished before a weekend jaunt to my dad's. i bought the paper & the ribbon for them last night, but now i can't find the right color of flower that we'd intended to affix over the ribbon. i'll be raiding every craft store within a 20 mile radius tonight, in search mode for the illusive candy-red hydrangeas... eek.

i have a handful of other tricks up my sleeve for this event, and i'm having a great time. i really love having the opportunity to use my creativity/craftiness to add a personal touch. luckily, my favorite bride is just as impressed with me as i am with myself. ;) she's giving me quite a bit of creative freedom. and i can't wait to make her big day extra-special.

so, despite the extraordinary amount of time i've spent at craft stores in the last 4 days (and the extraordinary amount of time i expect to spend at craft stores in the next 9 weeks), things are simply normal around here. and besides, i like craft stores.
