Seriously, is it really *only* Tuesday?? Gah!!!
*doing the Kermit the Frog arm flailing*
I got days and days worth of work done yesterday and yup, doesn't feel like I made a dent, but isn't that how it goes? I think I am 100% on track for the shower. There was a small hitch with the tablecloths but Gary helped out. MIL made lavender and purple tablecloths but when I put them on my 5' table, I realized they would be a little skimpy on the 6' ones I am using. Gary suggested I use black plastic tablecloths underneath and I cut pieces of black lace for runners a little longer to hang past the bottom for balance.
I also found a gift for Cait!!!
I was looking at so many different things and found a bouquet charm. (never knew they existed before)
I have it engraved on one side: To my Baby Bee and her wedding date on the other. She started calling me Mama B**** when she was in HS and I call her Baby B****, MB and BB for short or sometimes just Bee. We have matching tattoos with a bee in them, so this is meaningful to us and she can use it however she likes. That was a huge relief and I am excited about giving it to her.
I worked on this from 8 am to 4 pm so no time outside or for scrapping. :/
I am off to my mom's to go shopping for an outfit for her and hopefully shoes/sandals for me.
I read your comments about the wedding and I am so touched (even yours @tanteva
). One of her best friends is getting married next year and has a huge budget, a huge venue, and all of that. I think comparing hers to theirs was playing with her mind. And ITA with the stupid amount of money people pay for one day. It doesn't make sense.
Anyway, I appreciate you and all of your awesome, supportive words and love.
Lots of love to everyone!

that you cost Mark $20!





As for the kit you downloaded being a Review of the year... and it not being a theme you can to work with.... think about changing the theme for your LO to something you can do. I looked at it and see some beautiful florals and paper shapes. Maybe use the paper shape as a photo frame behind a photo and add floral clusters to it. Make your own word strips or word art and or title about the photo. The key is to change the theme.
And if you really can't face working with the kit - do let the designer know why. I am sure she will understand.



Good luck with your mom and you finding shoes/sandals. You've got this, girl - home stretch -shower will be a HUGE success!! Did I mention that I love cute kitchen towels? I'm pretty sure I did - IF you still need ideas for prizes. My latest obsession is lemons/oranges. The Dollar Tree had some really cute and nice ones and I even found a dish dryer mat to match. TJ's also has them.
What a mess! Maybe there is something you can use to repel skunks that won't hurt the animals. Good luck on the job front.
everyone, it is very late in the afternoon and I have not had any scrapping time
. MIL and FIL have kept me busy today again, with troubles with the new tv's, why oh why can't they just leave them be LOL. They are going to drive us nuts, not really but sheesh!! We were hoping to get a kayak session in this morning, but SIL Linda had a dr. appt. in Nanaimo this morning, so I ended up going over to the In-Laws to straighten out the tv issues and then did some running around and picked up a couple of things for them while I was out. I got Hunter's birthday gift ordered and sent to him and finished his Birthday Card too. Now it is almost dinner time and DH has a zoom meeting at 5pm. First FIL needs him to help unload his new lawnmower that he just had to have and picked it up this morning. Again driving quite a distance, when he shouldn't be driving at all
. I just wanted to pop in to say hello and hope you are all having a great time at the Birthday Party and I wish I could join you all !!
