i stumbled upon southern weddings when i was engaged and it was love at first sight. this creative team knows weddings, are full of charm, and somehow keep me checking their blog daily even though i've been married for a year and a half :)
not only do they highlight the prettiest weddings you've ever seen, they take southern hospitality to the next step, enter an ornament swap! all interested sent in their addresses then you receive addresses of 3 others to send an ornament to. handmade or store bought you get to spread christmas cheer!
i decided to go the martha stewart route. if anyone knows homemade ornaments it's martha!
i used beaucoup coupons at michael's to get a ridiculous assortment of glitter and the snowflake punch. oh, and martha makes glue with a brush included which is cheaper than buying glue and brush separately, this woman knows her audience! instructions courtesy of martha stewart living.
a work in progress. in true lauren fashion i did not read the instructions carefully and glittered each side separately which caused uneven glitter. also i didn't use colored cardstock as instructed. oh well, no two snowflakes are alike right?
the finished product! i used ribbon instead of string to add my own little touch. it was so fun mailing these off to people i don't know! something about spreading cheer is pretty cheery itself :)
