A Few Projects
Remember the goodies I got from Michael's last week, well i've been a busy bee these last few days. I used the white wrapping paper and the teal ribbon to wrap the coasters that I made before. This was their presentation, 
I thought they needed a little sprucing up 
For those of you who don't want to go back to the previous post, I made these myself borrowing the idea from Style Me Pretty. It was a relatively easy project but considering I had to make favors for 80 guests with four per guest, it was a very tedious process and I was very happy when I finished my last coaster. I used the leftover damask to use as a backing for the guest's names. I will print each guest's name on some white card stock and stick it onto the damask backing therefore making a place card and favor in one. Voila!
I also did a semi mock up of my table. Click on the picture to get a better view of it.
The dishes, glasses and flatware are all from my home so the actual ones will most likely be different, the centerpiece is my cardbox, (just for trial purposes). The only things really that are going to be used for sure are the tablecloths and the napkins. I really like the look of it and i'm strongly leaning towards a flowerless table. I can't bear the thought of all these flowers dying after my wedding. I'm just silly that way. If I go the stacked box route, they will be a little smaller and shorter than the one shown here.
If I go the flower route, I will do all white roses in aqua vases like the one here. I started with a clear glass vase
and sprayed it with Robins egg spray paint, another one of my Michael's finds. 
The color looks like Baby blue here but it's actually aqua. This vase is just a small one I had at home, the ones I would use would be bigger and taller.
I think either option will run about $15 per centerpiece, so ladies please tell me what you think about all my projects.

My First Giveaway!
I am really happy to announce MY FIRST GIVEAWAY! When I started this blog, it was from inspiration from Shooting for a $3,000 wedding. I googled "$3,000 wedding" and her blog came up. So thank you PandBwedding. I wanted somewhere to air my views and keep my ideas and projects organised but I never imagined it would be this much fun and generally give me such a good feeling, and for that I want to express my gratitude. Also I have 10 followers now. 10 people who actually pay attention to what I say (or write) who don't even know me. YAY!
Since I have no sponsors and no money (he he), my giveaway has to be something handmade by me. So without further ado, I would like to make one of you lovely ladies a card box. If you go to my previous Cardbox post, you can see my handiwork, although that one was my first attempt and I had lots of issues. I have since been able to really perfect my craft so don't worry, it'll be really pretty.
So this is how you enter, the winner will let me know what their colors and style are. To enter:
1. Become a follower of my blog
2. Blog about this giveaway and post a link to your blog.
Since I'm not on facebook or twitter, these are the only methods of entering. Contest ends January 15th and the winner will be announced on January 16th.
Make sure to leave a way to contact you.
Good luck ladies and TTFN (ta ta for now).

Oh how I love Michael's
Today I made a Michael's run just because I had a day off work hoping that I would maybe find something ( although I didn't know what I was looking for). I also had a 40% coupon off any item so I felt compelled to go. I started from one end of the store and worked my way to the other side. These are the little goodies that I ended up with.
2 rolls of white wrapping paper
6 foam balls for making pomanders
1 can of Krylon "Ocean Breeze" spray paint
1 roll of aqua-ish ribbon, it's really lighter than it looks here
1 pack of cookie sticks
1 pack of glue sticks
1 pack of magnetic letters
I'll let you know what DIY projects they're going to be used for later. Stay tuned.
Don't you just love Michael's? I mean I walked in there and just sighed. Ahhhhhhhh...
