The Final Countdown

This was the last weekend I had to get a bunch of minor stuff done before the wedding, because next weekend is my hen party with the girls!

Yesterday I made major progress on the final few projects I had and managed to only patronize small stores in my own town! My list of things to do included:
- Buy glue dots for photo guest book
- Make photo guest book
- buy foam core board for photo display
- affix photos to photo display
- buy earrings/necklace or beads to make them
- make "reserved" signs for the bride/groom table

At the stationary store in downtown Mill Valley I got this really cool glue on a roll to use for pasting the instant photos in the guestbook.
I bought earrings for just $14 at a boutique in downtown Mill Valley.
At the bigger stationary store across town, I bought a recycled chipboard binder to use for the guestbook, recycled cardstock for the pages, and a tri-fold foam core display board.

On a whim on the way home I swung by the art and paper store where I bought the paper for our tables. I had purchased every last piece that they had back in the spring but lo and behold they had more so I bought a few more pieces for use on the cake table and the guest-book table.

I'm really happy about how the guest book came out - I pasted one of our invites to the front and on the spine I glued a piece of the ribbon that will be used to decorate our cake. Just a few more details to work out today, then I'll feel like I'm in good shape. Two weeks to go!
