I’ve been waiting for the netting to arrive so I can start my next DIY project, my veil. Since M was playing golf yesterday I decided to run to Michael’s and pick up some supplies to work on my veil. I’ve also decided I want to spice up my invitations a tad. I’ve seen a few girls that have put a “belly band” of sorts around the outside of the envelope. This adds a little color and also alleviates the need to run each envelope through the printer since you print the address on the label.
After cruising through the paper section I realized I couldn’t find any paper that would fit completely around the envelope. I figured there had to be a product for this right? Hell no! As I was searching I started looking through the stamp section. I decided that if I couldn’t find the paper I was looking for I could use a stamp on the outside. Also this wouldn’t add any more weight to the envelope. Well after about an hour of looking and searching I realize I can’t find the damn stamp ink. What the hell Michael’s?!?!!?
At this point I’m so frustrated by my envelope fiasco I almost completely forget I’m actually there to find stuff for my veil. I run over to the wedding section to look for a comb. And wouldn’t you know, they don’t really have any combs. Seriously?!?!? So I head to the flower section, I mean they have flowers right. Strike three! This is just not my day to find anything apparently. I finally just decide to run to Target. Well they have nothing interesting in hair accessories either. I end up buying a snap barrette, that might work and a drink. I did manage to find a comb at the grocery store on my stop home. *shakes head*
Today my veil netting arrived in the mail. I’m pretty excited. I don’t think it’s going to take very much to make what I want, plus I can add some crystals. ;) I’ve managed to work up a “new” plan which involves a trip to the Mall. I figure if I can’t find something, anything, between Claire’s and Forever 21, it’s just not meant to be. At least for now. I know I still have plenty of time for this but I have the excitement now.
I mean can’t a girl find a glittery, sparkly, flowery hair piece?!?!?! Is it really THAT hard!!!!
On the bright-side, AW officially starts on Wednesday. Finally after a month I will have help and that gets a big fat YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
