Hey everybody!  Sorry for the delay in announcing the winner of my 50th Blog Post Giveaway Contest!  What with the end of vacation, travelling, and exhaustion, I got a little behind.  But, with no further ado, I’d like to announce the randomly chosen winner of 4 custom cards…

ncguygirl! 

Congratulations!  Just contact me through the blog or facebook and I’ll get started on your cards! 🙂

And now, for Wedding Wednesday, a day late.  This week’s featured project isn’t paper at all, but ribbon!  Many brides these days are looking for an alternative to rice-throwing during their departure; birdseed, bubbles, sparklers, and confetti are a few of the common options, but a newer trend is ribbon wands.  They’re clean, safe, fun, and easy to match to your wedding colors.

As you can see, I added little bells to these for a little extra sparkle.  The dowels are 12″ long and each ribbon is about 18″.  Just $1 each!  Perfect for brides on a budget.  Let me know if you’d like them for your wedding, or if you know someone who might like them, send them my way!  I appreciate it more than you can know when you help me spread the word through facebook, Pinterest, other social networking sites, and word of mouth.  Thank you!

And now for a moment I’m going to revisit my place cards post.  For your enjoyment, here is a picture of white and peach “Victoria” style place cards I filled for a special order.  So exciting!

Thanks for stopping by!
