Party On

My dears this week has flown by. We’re definitely wrapping things up with Natasha’s wedding. Can you believe it’s 16 days away!! EEK! I’m super excited for them, it’s going to be beautiful.

You could also get rid of the moss altogether. To add a little extra pizazz you could print out a cute message like “watch our love grow” on note cards and put them in the bag. I would have to add what type of seed is in the bag being that the curiosity would kill me if I was a guest. Homemade Soap The breakdown: 1/8 lb of clear unscented soap per guest: 4...
