final favors

...and I love them. I tied two small hearts {one card stock and one homemade seed paper} to the jar with twine and embroidery string. Then I added our logo to the top of the jar.

In addition, I made magnets for our guests to take home, but forgot to snap some pictures.

our love is RED hot

Red hots as favors? yay or nay? Opinions please.

I tried making homemade marshmallows.

They were OKAY...a little crunchy, but okay. I need to improve my technique.
1. Try not to crystalize the sugar.
2. Use Mom's kitchen aid mixer
3. Make them look prettier.

baby seedlings!!

On Sunday I planted one of my lovely hearts and today I woke up to find this....
They worked!! I'm so excited! I wonder how long my little hearts will last, will they still germinate come April...

there's nothing like homemade paper, right?

That's exactly what I thought!! But to make things even better, what if your paper grew into something beautiful?


These past couple of weeks, I've been developing my paper making skills after finding directions on how to make seed paper. Thank you urban debris!! After a few trial and error sessions, modifying the directions, and making quite a mess, I've finally perfected my technique and coloring methods.


These dainty little hearts will adorn our wedding favors as the perfect little gift tags. We hope our guests will plant the paper and watch the flowers blossom into life. Check back to see the final product as we decide on our favors.
