Birdhouse

I just made the cutest little birdhouse! Maybe it might make an appearance at our wedding...who knows!

However I finally got to spend a day in my office sorting out all the nice papers I have accumulated over the last year, while deciding on the colours and stationery for the wedding. Now I have a wonderful stock of samples for others to choose from when getting their stationery made.

The count down is also on for the 70th birthday I'm decorating for and I am about to make a start on the invites for that event. They have chosen a rural theme, so lots of native flowers, windmills and eucalypt branches.
Stay tuned for the final product of the invite...

Tips for this week -
Get to know your friends and family - when planning an event, whether it be a wedding or party, ask around among your friends and family to see what their talents and interests are. This could end up saving you $$$$$$$. Photography, crafty, sewing..... you name it, they just may be able to help you out. And most people will be more than happy to help you out with a special event.

Your day your way - When it comes to your wedding - while opinions and 'help' from others is sometimes useful, other times it can make you question the choices you have made and make things more diffcult then they need to be. Remind yourself that it is your day and its about you and your partner committing to the spending the rest of your lives together, so what others think sometimes isn't important. You'll never please everyone no matter how hard you try. If it's going to make your special day all the more 'special' for you, then have that bonboneirre or flower or colour of your choice. By then end of the day, those that opposed your idea, will have forgotten all about it anyhow.
