Homemade Seed Paper | ceae's gardening journal. Ever since I saw Redloon’s seed imbedded paper, I’ve wanted to try making some. My daughter’s birthday is next week and she’s having a Thumbelina party, so I though seedy paper would make a great and fitting favour and/or thank you note. The only thing I didn’t have was a screen, so I was planning on buying some screen door material to make one … when my mom shows up with bags full of gifts she got for the birthdays (my son’s is in a couple weeks too) I couldn’t believe it when I saw one of the things she got was a paper making kit for DS … complete with screen!
I’ve, um, borrowed the screen from the kit (I know he wouldn’t mind a bit) and am going to do a trial run with seedy paper! First I soaked the paper in water for a few hours. Next is to blend the paper into pulp … the kit comes with a little hand cranked blender machine, but there’s no way I’m using it when I’ve got a blender (I’m sure it will be fun for the kids though). 1. Letterfu. Crap that Shouldn't Be Happening at a Wedding Reception. I was going to call this Top Ten Wedding Reception Pet Peeves, but I can’t stand people that have pet peeves. Instead, here is a list of ten items that you should take note of and try to avoid when planning a wedding reception.
I apologize for making fun of you if you have already had your wedding reception and did one of these items. Long Time Between the Service and ReceptionI understand that you really wanted your service at Church X and that you couldn't have your reception anywhere but Place Y and that Photographer Z could only do the group shots after the wedding and to coordinate all those desires you have a three hour gap between the wedding and the reception. I know that you’ll be busy in that time, but I have absolutely nothing to do except to sit in a bar and drink. Now all of a sudden you got a reception full of people that have been angrily drinking for three hours.

We saw this idea for a sweet and thoughtful bridesmaid gift over on 100 Layer Cake and just had to share it with our readers. The idea was for a vintage locket with a personal message written inside. It’s a very simple gift to put together … all you need to do is write a personal note, saying or quote on a strip of pretty paper, fold it up and place it into the locket.
It will pop out when the locket is opened. This is a wonderful bridesmaid gift because it’s not a major expense, but can be very personal with the message inside – a perfect way to thank your ladies for being an important part of your life and your wedding day.

Simple Wedding Checklist with Essential Tasks As You Countdown to Your Wedding. 5 Bridal Shower Favors Your Guests Will Actually Want to Keep: Save the... Tuesday, 9/21/2010 at 12:04PM by Kim Fusaro Email meWeddings writer. Owner of two bad knees and one toddler. Hoarder of Cherry ChapStick, yoga pants, and stray animals. Eats chocolate every day. It’s HARD to find bridal shower favors that don’t suck!
Lucky for those of you who are hosting bridal showers, I had some spare time on my hands this morning, so I dug up five reasonably priced favors that definitely won’t get thrown in the trash. Check ’em out: 1. These itty-bitty notebooks are great for stashing in your purse. 2. I think it would be neat, as a guest, to get such a personalized favor. 3. Guests who already have a mini mirror in their purse can stow this $3 one in their office desk or their makeup bag. 4.
Buy a few multipacks of fancy glosses and dump them all into a bowl. 5. If you’re feeling generous, give each guest a set of 10, which will cost $4 per guest. Sure, you could spend less than three or four bucks per guest. Would you be psyched to get one of these at a bridal shower? Wedding Photojournalist Directory | SnapKnot.
