The Wedding Planner

September 6, 2007 on 10:42 pm | In Paper | 25 Comments

You may remember that there is going to be a wedding around here next spring. And by the time it’s over, you’ll probably be a) glad I’m not the Bride’s mother, and b) sick of hearing about it.

(Note to quilty peeps: You’ve already seen this, so you are excused to go spend your time more wisely! ;-) )

When TheFirstChild and SweetiePie got engaged we had a quick, fun, little impromptu champagne (how many adjectives can one noun have?) party. In addition to a REALLY big hug, I gave SweetiePie this wedding planner in a box.

It was lots of fun to make and SweetiePie has started to use it. My favorite cards are the Cake divider (’cause I liked the ribbon coming out of the top of the cake) and the little card with the “something” tags to put behind the Traditions divider.

I hope everyone has wonderful weekend plans. I’ll probably be cleaning — this place is a pigsty, I haven’t really cleaned in a long time. The change of seasons always puts me in the mood!

XOXO,
Anna

3. Wow I love it. I’ll bet SweetiePie was thrilled when you gave her that.
   Reminds me of the knitting journal box thingys you made which were also fabulous.

4. That’s so sweet of you! And heaps of time and thought went into it, I bet. Like a wedding scrapbook in a box! And, no I don’t think I’ll get sick of you talking about TheFirstChild’s wedding. It just brings back so many memories…and I can only live vicariously through other people’s wedding plans, now that everyone I immediately know has been hitched for a while.

19. I love the Wedding Planner! My daughter is getting married next spring, too. I should make her something like that. Are there directions someplace or did you just design it?
