I took advantage of my sister being here so she could help me with a few projects!...

You remember the cute little magnets I got when I was in Madrid?...these guys:

Second project...

OOT Welcome Bags!!!!

I am in Florida and wanetd to do something fun and unique. I didn''t want to just give them a gift paper bag and thought it would be nice to give them something they could use to go to the beach while they were here (some guests might forget to bring their beach bags!!).

We painted each one...it took a long time but it was a lot of fun!

Ready to paint?

 

[Mandarine]

Paint!!!!!

All the bags!!!

(we were still missing 3, but got tired...lol)

Another one..

I loved them all but this one was my sister''s favorite (so she already claimed it!)...

 

[Mandarine]

That''s it for now!...

Inside so far the bags only have a cute visor and water guns!

I love your bags! I think it''s great that you took the time to personalize them. And I still just love those little magnets

Oh Mandarine! I think you win the "sweetest wedding" award! Your favors and bags have so much personality! Wonderful job!

 

[Mandarine]

Thanks guys!

I can''t believe the day is almost here!...every time I finish a project it feels closer and closer!!

I''ve been getting things off my list...and it just feels SO good!

This weekend I went to the church and heard the solist and organist that will be singing at our wedding. The next time I hear them I will be walking down the aisle!!!. The girl has an amazing voice, she will do a beautiful job! (I specially can''t wait for her to sing the Ave Maria).

Mandarine!

OMG, I am in awe! Absolutely amazing!!

Where did you find the cute favor boxes?????

 

[Mandarine]

I bought them in ebay...they were super cheap but the shipping took forever. I wasn''t in a hurry, but if you are I would make sure you sue a vendor that guarantee''s the shipment date!.

My ebay vendor was efavormart. Again, the boxes are great...BUT the shipping was expensive IMO and took a little while to get here.

The ribbon is from Michael''s and the paper for teh tags is the left over paper from the invites!. The tags are attached to the ribbon using the glue dots (I love those things!!!!!)

Hope that helps

Oooh Mandarine I LOVE the bags. They are very adorable and a very good idea. Where did you find the blank canvas bags? I wanted to make totes for my bridal party!

Mandarine,

Your DIY jobs are seriously awe inspiring.

I hope to do a lot DIY, but I fear you will put me to shame!

 

[Mandarine]

Thank you!!!!

You should definitely DIY if you can and if you enjoy it. For me it''s relaxing so it''s actually good therapy...lol.

The bags are from Michael''s...I believe they were $8 for 3...you may be able to find them cheaper on the web though.
