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
Oh wow, that little box is so cute! How fun to get ready for a wedding in the family!
That SweetiePie is a lucky girl :)
This is a beautiful gift and I’m sure she will love it forever!
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.
ps. I love reading about wedding plans so have at it!
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.
Oh my gosh, Anna, I just love this! Did you make this? Or did you buy it? If so, where did you get it? We could sure use something like this!
very very very cute!
That is absolutely adorable – wonderful keepsake. You are so incredibly talented.
It is wonderful! Did you make it from scratch or decorate a ready made case?
That planner box is the *cutest* thing ever!!
my goodness, that is one beautiful wedding planner.
That’s fantastic – hope sweetiepie loved it! you are so clever, perhaps you’ll give my oldest some advice with her homework! She’s got to design a jewellery box – you’ve got a few weeks to do it for us – thanks!!! (just joking)

That is beautiful, & if you made it all, you are indeed very talented. You could sell those, I am sure.
Oh Anna that is so pretty. I’m sure that sweetiepie will find it to be a useful item she reaches for on a daily basis and a treasure from you. That sweetiepie is one luck young lady.
