THIS is What 560 Looks Like!!!

Remember when I was tellin' ya last month how I was doing wedding invites for my BFF's daughter?? (which would make HER a BFF, too??) Remember how I showed ya how to do the "Hokey Pokey" with your FOOT while you were punching 560 belly bands (each band punched SEVEN times ... TIMES 560 = 3,920!!)??? Well, here is what I made ...

The bride and groom wanted to keep it relatively "clean and simple" (in the groom's words - NOT GIRLY!) ... this really doesn't look like much ... but it IS made out of two pieces (one of which I had to created a little tab for so that we could fold it up and close it up) ... and when you do each step 560 times it takes FOR.EV.ER!!



Here is what they looked like all boxed up ... such a happy sight!!! HOURS-HOURS-HOURS of labor/love went into these babies!! So happy they are done ... and so excited for Hannah and TJ!! It's almost here!! Next weekend!! YAY AND HOORAY!!Smiley from millan.net

Figured this would be as good a thing as any to share with you for World Card Making Day (even though I'm posting it a day later!). I have some cute card sets I started working on yesterday (which makes THEM my OFFICIAL WCMD project!). I will post 'em when I get 'em done!).

Tschüss!

Wow, Wendy! You did it again! Another mass production accomplished by love, time and craft! When I met you you were making party favors for someone's wedding, I believe. You have such a beautiful heart.

He IS Able!
