Wedding giveaways project

Filed under Life, Weddings

Finally I’m done putting shuttlecock in the glass tumblers with decorative stone for the wedding favors I am doing yesterday. The stones were supposed to hold the shuttlecock in place. I have to tilt the tumbler so the stones and beads will stay in one side while I put on the shuttlecock and make sure its bottom touches the glass and then shake the tumbler so the stones will move…shake a little bit until the shuttlecock stands firm in the middle of the stones and beads. Before evening came, I was done with 150 pcs and was thrilled at the sight of the tumblers laid in the floor. I’m almost halfway done! I spent the night cutting the tulle to my desired size so I can wrap the tumblers today and put some adornment after. Anyway, here’s the photos I took of the giveaways. Continue Reading »

Thankful

So many things going on around here. I’m getting busy doing the wedding favors but haven’t done the final product yet. I’m still thinking what to add in it to look really beautiful. I only have problem in  finding the right color for the ribbon.

Yesterday I went to downtown to buy Ace’ badminton racket and the lacking materials for the giveaways. I went first to DCLA where I used to get decorative stones and when I got there, only 5 packs of stones are on display. I asked the saleslady if they still have stocks in the stockroom so she checked on it. I need 9 packs and will be back next week for additional 21 packs so I need to make sure they have enough stocks until next week. Continue Reading »

What keeps me busy?

Filed under My Thoughts

After the photo shoot last Sunday, I had a hard time choosing which should be printed for our last session today. As mentioned, the theme is “THE ALPHABET”, hence anything that looks like any of the letter of the alphabet should be the subject. Two photos should be printed and submitted for judging this afternoon. Thus, I was out yesterday to have it printed and bought some materials for the wedding favors of Ace’ sis. I left the files to be printed and was hoping that it would turn out as I wanted it to be. Though I instruced them to print as is, no adjustments be made I am still worried about the outcome to think that each copy costs $1.75 and if I am not satisfied, I have to go to other photo labs. After hopping from one store to another for the giveaways, I went back to the photo lab to claim my orders. Gladly, they did a good job. :-) I hope it could also pass the judges’ taste.

Last night, I tried making sample of the giveaways but it doesn’t look good. The color is not that attractive so I need to find other things I could add on it so that it could make attactive and presentable. It’s the first time I heard Ace say “it’s not beautiful”. Usually, when I am making something, he will just say “it’s beautiful”. I don’t know if he’s playing safe by that. But this time, he meant it. The materials and colors I got are quite boring so I need to go back to the mall and get some things to add on it. For the benefit of everybody, I am making a wedding and the main material should be a shuttlecock. I have put it in a glass, added some decorative stone according to the motif, and wrapped it with a tulle. I think I need to add other colors of the stones and use organza instead of tulle. So, I need to find a sheer organza. I hope its available so that I could make the final sample so that I could show it to Borski and Nai. This isn’t a tough one, just the conceptualization is kinda hard. Well, wish me luck on this project!

BTW, MIL informed us that she already booked us for our October flight. We have availed of the PhP999 all-in promo of Cebu Pacific. Oh, actually not all in because insurance is not covered. But it’s a great deal because regular fare for domestic flights is already PhP5,000++. Yey! We have to travel again! I am excited about that because we’ll get to see close friends and churchmates in Cebu and hopefully see our godmother, Ninang Aida and the kids. SInce it’s travel time again, I guess we need a luggage such as one from Rimowa for our convenience…that if we have extra for it. Will check where we can find the best buy for that. :-) Since we will be bringing the giveaways, guess it will be safer to pack it in a luggage than travel boxes. What do you think?
