Wedding Preparations.

Whoa nelly - it's been a long time since the last post. If only you could see how many are in my 'Drafts' - just can't seem to get them rolled out - but no worries, eh?

So... we had a blast getting ready for Jim and Sara Leah's wedding. We've been hiding all sorts of crafty gifting projects from her, helping some with the little wedding necessities, and squeezing in some regular 'ole trusty craftiness in between.

On the left is a prime example of the numero uno crafty lady's product (for lack of a better word). She designed and crafted bride and groom fingerpuppets to top the wedding cake - they turned out perfectly, plus were a lovely and unique addition all of the weddingness that ensued.

In between wedding invitation week and wedding cake topper week, Lester Friedrich Francisco was born. Natalie gave SL a sock puppet making kit for her last birthday, and she been birthing sock creatures ever since. :-) I'm pretty sure this is the second one... ah, here we go - found the first little guy - pretty sure it's 'Mr. Fitzcreature' to me. ;)

The latest and final wedding craft was magnet making. We made a ton for wedding party favors and they turned out really cute. Sara Leah gathered a bunch of sketches she made over the months of her and Jim. She scanned and copied, then we cut, pasted to poster board, pasted to slightly larger sized color paper, then backed with strips of magnets. Sunni and Leah came over to help and with five people, we got an assembly line going and churned out gobs and gobs of magnets. So fun!



It seems like ages now since the wedding - Jim and Sara must be old married folk by now. haha. It was a dreamy day that deserves a final pic - congrats to Mr and Mrs Pihakis! :D
