-BM hair barrettes

I'd done out unity candle awhile ago but have to fix it cause cats go to it :shock:


Still working on:
-cardbox (FFIL took it to paint it and then I have to rub on the design and wind the flowers around the can)
-place cards
-Wedding newsletter
-BM newsletter for final updates
-DAY OF Itinerary because my family likes to run on Puerto Rican time and not EST!

BRIDESMAID GERBER HAIR COMBS:

Tryigng one out (they can slip in pretty much anywhere into any hirstyle becase of the comb.


LOVE LETTERS:
Ok so I TRIED Decorating them in trim like so many girls do; pink and white or orange and white. But I do not have surgeons hands and they ended up retarded. So instead I bougth wood rub ons and sticky jewels and voila! LOL the shakey handed girl's way to gettin' it done!
