Make it Work!

Let’s face it, hive.

With my “old” wedding falling to pieces, I don’t have time to panic. I just have to get over it, get my butt in gear, and MAKE IT WORK!!!

Let’s just take a minute here for a very brief detour into how much I love Tim Gunn.

Who doesn’t love a man in a sharp-looking suit??? He came to my school. I met him. I want to be his bff for LIFE.  And I want him to teach Mr. Unicorn how to dress.

But back to wedding shenanigans.

Fueled by red bull and armed with my trusty credit card, I did what any desperate bride would do.

I went on a shopping spree!!!!

Look at all my bags of goodies! Yes, that’s moss you see peeking from one of the Hobby Lobby bags. I love Hobby Lobby almost as much as I love Tim Gunn.

They were having a glassware sale, and I had a coupon, and before I knew it my cart was loaded up beyond capacity.

I bought:

-Cardstock: for the invitations that we have to RE-design, RE-print, and RE-send to our very confused friends and family.

-Moss: for decorating the tables.

-Letters: to cover in moss and hang somewhere.

-A Chalk Pen: for our chalkboard menu.

-Burlap: for making bunting and table runners.

-Pretty Glass Things: for the centerpieces.

All this stuff came to less than $200 bucks. I think it’s a steal. Mr. Unicorn thinks otherwise. He still doesn’t understand the concept behind the decorative moss balls. To be honest, I don’t either, but I think they look pretty.

What do you think, hive? Did I go overboard? Or do I totally deserve a crafty shopping spree?
