At Heart...

You know you're an old lady at heart when an elderly woman praises you for your purchases...

What did I purchase? For my next project,  I need an eyelet puncher. The reviews on this one seemed good so I went to my friendly, neighborhood Hobby Lobby and purchased it. I waited for their 40% off coupon before I went in so this item was only $17.40 (case sold separately). I tested it out and it works pretty well!

My next project will be making wedding programs for my best friend. I've decided to make her the fan programs because it's classy and unique. I found a website that sells Do-It-Yourself Fan Programs so I ordered a sample (most wonderful idea ever).

These pre-cut papers makes the fan program such an easy task but it comes with a price. The cut is not smooth so the edging around the whole page is ridged. It may not matter to some but I've decided that it's not good enough for my best friend's wedding. I guess I'll have to go down the more difficult road and cut all the pages myself. With 150 guests and 5 pages per program, I'm going to be having a lot of blisters soon... but at least they won't look like this...
