lists

I find myself needing to make a list of all the things I have left to do...and I'm sure I'm still missing some things. But now that I have 'the list' I'm hyperventilating. Ideally I'd love to pawn some of this on to my mom, or my MOH's or my BM...but I'm having the hardest time relinquishing control. I keep thinking 'but I will make sure it's perfect. I can't possibly count on anyone else to do all these little details'.

I've.lost.my.mind.



For anyone interested...here it is! And if you think I left ANYTHING AT ALL OUT, please let me know!

the fortune tellers are also known as cootie-catchers:

I'm sure once you 'see' them, you'll know what I'm talking about :)

lollipop bo-k:

from another liwedding-er

Supplies (this is to make one bouquet):

1 5”-6” florists green Styrofoam cone
1 roll of ribbon about 1”” wide
1 package florist corsage pins
several bunches of silk flowers or leaves
1 package lollipops

Directions

1. Begin by turning the cone over so the flat base is down with the tip pointing up. Beginning from about a ½½” from the tip, wrap the ribbon around the cone so the ends over lap. Cut the ribbon and pin it into the styrofoam.

2. Repeat this process until almost the entire cone is covered. Overlap each ribbon slightly. (Because of the angle of the cone, the entire base will not be covered.)

3. Hold the cone by the base and stick the lollipops in the center.

4. Fill in the gaps with the silk flowers and leaves. Cut the length as needed and stick the stems directly into the styrofoam. The lollipops do not ““fill up”” the empty space of the bouquet. Use as much or as little filler as you need. You may need more of the corsage pins to help anchor the filler in place.

Thanks!!!! And you're right - I do know what the cootie-catchers are! So cute!!!
