Well...it seems we're on the short side of 6 5 4 2 weeks 'till our wedding and while I'm THRILLED to see everything come together, my to-do list is still HUGE!!!
I've had an abundance of really close friends, a LOT of my customers and some "I fell obligated" family members offer to help in any way. I haven't actually taken them up on anything yet as it's easier for me to create in the late, late hours of evenings when the boys are asleep and hubby-to-be is watching basketball.
As time nears and my list doesn't seem to be getting any smaller, I may have to call on these people to "help a girl out"...
In the meantime, I thought it'd be fun if I posted my to-do list here and marked it off as we go! QT's "we live in a perfect world" idea was to have everything completed by May 15th...it's come and gone and we're still here...maybe he meant "his list" was to be done by May 15th...lol
Here we go (I'm going on memory since my notebook is "missing" right now...could be under all the piles of Hobby Lobby bags and Sweet Leaf B&T and Cocoa Cardstock...lol)...

You've been a busy girl! Good luck getting everything done, and don't sweat the small stuff! I wish that I had enjoyed the week before my wedding more (instead of running around like a chicken with my head cut off!). My cousin is getting married the day before you, and I will be saying a special prayer for you on your special day. Best wishes!!!
