Tab Happy

Why did I do this to myself?! I had to write out my return address a lot of times today, more than the usual paperwork going out in the day…and so I started wishing I had a cute return address label to ease up my work. I also anticipate many envelopes needing to have my address on for thank you's and such once the wedding comes around. So now, my brain starts going… I of course get sidetracked from what I should have been doing…and let's just say I got a little tab happy and, well, 17 tabs later,  I am looking at custom calligraphy stamps with wooden handles and all! They're actually not too pricey when you think of how many times you will indeed be using it! Even after the wedding fun is over! So now I am all super excited, want to know exactly where I am going to live, my address and everything because I want to order one… NOW! haha- But of course, as I was looking at all the lovely ideas for stamps, I saw ideas for customized cards as well. Wouldn't that be so nice? A matching stamp with an "F" or something for nice writing paper or note cards?! The possibilities are endless and I just wish I could order some right now. :)

Bridesmaid Burgers

A few days ago, a long awaited package arrived in the mail....
Part of the gift for my lovely bridesmaids (all twelve gals - to make it easy I'm just saying bridesmaids)!!
I have been eagerly waiting for this very box. I just wish I could give the girls their gifts right now! I want to show them! 

But to the part with the burgers...yes, burgers.
I received the box in the mail late in the afternoon and that night I had a dream. 

My dream:

I opened the box to find the hamburgers (which was apparently what I meant to order)... on puffy fabric buns (again as it was supposed to be). I was so happy to see my order there nicely in front of me. But then after the excitement wore off that they had arrived, I got real concerned. I though to myself, Gosh, how am I going to keep these hamburgers fresh enough for the next few months?! Yes, I was some how going to have to keep these babies fresh for quite some time! And the thing was, because of the delicate fabric buns, I was not able to refrigerate or freeze them... it'd ruin the fabric!

That was the end of my dream. I never did find out what happened with keeping the gifts fresh for the next few months. My mind is either more creative than I thought, or just on overload. ;)

Oh, and don't worry girls. You are not getting burgers! I have no idea where any of this dream came from!

........ or are you? ;)
