Is it ever going to end?

What a day it's been! Scratch that... what a week it's been!

I've been plugging away on about 3 different projects, and while I've made progress on them, I feel like I've still haven't gotten anything done!

The card box is essentially done, I just need to recruit Anthony to help me attach the boxes together. By the way, I think it looks great if you don't mind me tooting my own horn! I'm very pleased with how it turned out, but I probably just jinxed myself by saying that and something will go awry in the attachment process.

The table numbers... well they haven't come any further only because I'm waiting to do those after the last components of the invitations have been printed so I don't waste ink on the numbers when I can hold off on them for a while longer still. Call me lazy and cheap, I just don't want to be forced to buy another ink cartridge right now, just to get my invites out in early March!

I just finished printing out the address labels - I'm doing the ones I saw in Martha Stewart Weddings a couple months back that have also been popular on the boards thanks to MsMcWoo a fellow Columbus knottie. The colors didn't print as nicely as I would have liked on the sticker paper I bought. Oh well, I can't have everything perfect, and who knows maybe it's my printer running out of ink, though I doubt it. This morning I printed the RD invites on it and noticed how nice and crisp the color came on out them.

Which brings me to the RD invites, I committed a knottie faux pas and I used a poem. *GASP!* Dun, dun, duuuuhhhnnnnnnn!

However, I don't think this poem is really all that bad, and it brings a little character to an otherwise terrificly bland invite. Besides, I made it myself with the help of another May 08 knottie, and it's completely customized to our dinner. Here it goes...

On the night before the big day,
When everyone is in town,
We’ll practice the giving away,
So no one’s left feeling down.
After, like Italians we’ll all “Mangia!”
And meet at The Spaghetti Warehouse,
For soup, salad, and lasagna!

Love it or hate it, it's printed and ready to go out. I'm leaving it, even if it means an embarrassment to me, though I doubt it will, most people won't even care what it says. They'll see the time and location listed below that paragraph and see they'll be getting a free meal and be done with it. 

Ok, time to go watch more Lost Season 1 and start cutting out the mailing labels and RD invites. Ugh... is that done yet?!?!?
