Does anyone else have a head full of crafty ideas they want to do but...

Have no more money and time to do them?

I really want to do cute placecards but after I started the pew bows I realized how hard they were and that I still have favors and programs to do.. and promised myself.. NO MORE CRAFTS!!

But there are so many cute things I could still do.. Table numbers, place cards etc...

There are a TON of things I would like to do as well. But then when I really think about it, no one is going to remember those things and knowing I am going to spend TONS of time doing them I figured I would cut out most of the things I wanted to do because of that. There are still a few things I am going to do but not as many as I had originally planned.

My problem is I pay for all the materials and then pawn the job off to my sister! I think she is starting to gte overwhelmed with all the projects I have her doing!

Same here...so then, anything nice I need to pay someone else to do it, and it's getting really expensive!

I'm twirling and spinning in DIY projects right now, but to me, they're important enough to find the time to do. Because they will ALL get done in the next month. Even if I have to kidnap my bridal party to help me!

Mostly I just go to sleep dreaming about my big plans and wake up thinking about how to 1. Make time for them
2. Find creativity/patience pills to get it all done.
Anyone??:

YES! And of course I help all of my friends with their weddings and wind up PAYING someone to make my own stuff!!! I do love to do the crafts though, but I just wish there were more than 24 hours in a day!!!!
