    After stalking Etsy for a card box and a few other items I realized that the price they often charge is WAY higher than the cost of doing it myself. So I decided to (wo)man up and tried this DIY thing and I am shocked at what came of it. I actually did something myself...I am beyond thrilled!!!!

    So thank you dear Bees for your inspiration and DIY attitude. I couldn't have done it without your constant posts and successful endeavors.

    Who knows what I will do next?

    "Card" Box-Much prettier in person. Hydrandeas have pinks and light purple hints to them. Ribbon is light blush pink.

    Program Basket-Might add some crystals along the ribbon. Not sure.

    @julies1949:  Thanks so much. Do we have a theme song? We should!

    @September29:  The birdcage is from Beverly's craft store (California) and I treated it with some paint to make it look a bit more vintage (plus it was scraped to hell). It was half price too thanks to some coupons and fast talking regarding the scratches.

    And thank you ladies very much! I am like a proud mama today.
