    Here are my most recent projects... My flower girl's basket. I actually purchased cake banding here on the hive and as a special fun gift the seller sent me the little heart!  My stepdaughter to be is in love with it.  The ribbon was laying around the house...  I still can't believe my wedding is in 16 days...

    Here is the fun sign that I made to point the way... I may actually need to make another one of these (it's on my to-do list lol)

    Here's my prized possession the bouquet that is so funky and some may say ugly, but I love this damned thing!! I seriously pick it up and play with it.  The kids keep teasing that it is getting bigger and bigger... Could be because I keep adding more feathers. I have added a few more to make it more symmetrical but I love it.  The center flower was actually made by etsy seller Twisted Crystals.. And I love that I can wear it in other places as well after the wedding because of the ribbon and bobby pin that is attached.

    Yes I am adding crystals on my heels... They are actually more complete than this but I don't have a picture... I have about 80 or so more to go.

    Here is our ampersand that is in the process of being sprayed (going ms. fro-yo style on this one!!)  This was $5 after Hobby Lobby had a wall art sale. It is definitely going on the wall after the wedding...

    These are my scrapbook/sign-in book hostesses' notecards.  They were purchased from Hobby Lobby and stamped by me.

    What DIY projects did you do the week of your wedding?  I am actually starting to settle down a little bit (thank goodness!!)

    I wish I was this good at DIY stuff! I love all of it! I love feather bouquets and I've recently started to lust after signs and ampersands like that!

    @mandb:omg I just couldn't justify the cost of flowers and I really wanted calla lillies and then carnations, but the thought of spending a few days putting out the usual fires that come with wedding planning AND doing bouquets just bothered me, especially with the new job. But the feather bouquets are really easy. I am excited to see my photographer's pictures of them. I honestly think no one responded because my projects aren't super duper "bee" worthy, well at least not taken with my cell phone lol!!!

    @Nola: I actually have to make another one (yeah yeah another project lol!!). But let me know if you want them they were sooo easy to do and basically free (used reclaimed wood, spray paint I already had) and my ink pad...

    @noritake: I am about 15 days out from the wedding so I doubt if I will be able to take on many more projects thank goodness lol!!!!
