My sister is so creative...who would have thought to have a terrarium floral table at a wedding?!

So happy shopping, crafting and remember this is a party focal point for any occasion.

PRICELESS Wedding Wish Table Photo Boxes


My sisters wish table photo boxes were simple, elegant and timeless. The photo boxes were illuminated with battery operated tea light candles inside. Black and white pictures were inserted in the ivory painted windows boxes. Guest cards of pearl metallic card stock with miniature pens from Staples were on the table for people to leave a special guest wish messages. 







Canon 7d was used to take the family picture with a remote and IPhoto helped to convert the photos to black and white for FREE.

Photos were 10 cents a piece at Costco.
Boxes were $2 with a 40% off coupon at AC Moore
Card stock was ten dollars for 100 sheets at The Papermill Cardstock Store.
Tea lights were $10 for 40 at Costco.
Total cost of project per box was under $3 a box!! Now that is what I call PRICELESS!!

Goodwill Hopping

I am so excited about these bunnies that I found at goodwill for only $12.50 a piece.  Now if you promise not to laugh, I will tell you how I bought them.  I have two Goodwills in my area.  This morning I went to Goodwill #1  (bought a $15 rocking chair that I will share in another post) then drove to Goodwill #2 then drove back to Goodwill #1 which is when I found these adorable bunnies.  They were only on the floor a few minutes and so many people complimented me on the great find in line and the parking lot.



Nothing like these cute bunnies to put me in the Springtime mood.  I absolutely love the fact that the bunnies are the same size of my little guy.  Can't wait to take his picture next year and see how much he has grown!!  The best part is that we have been planning to have an Easter party which I think these bunnies are going to make a great focal point. In the mean time, don't be afraid to hop from Goodwill to Goodwill, you never know what you may find.
