Masquerade! Paper Faces on Parade!

I am having so much fun with this wedding planning. Sure, it's a lot of stress and a lot of money, but it's going to be worth it. Not to mention, I feel like it's one on-going DIY craft, and I am having a blast!

I've been scrambling with the "kinda-short-but-reasonable" timeline I've given myself, and have managed to peg down rentals, a photographer, and I have started to sort out the DJ. We are going to see someone this Friday night who is interested, and apparently loves themed parties. While I'm trying to keep organized, I will admit that sometimes I get frazzled with feeling like there is SO MUCH to do.

When that happens, I make masks! Since we are having a masquerade, I am having masks be our favors. (Let's face it, I don't think everyone is going to bring one to match their outfit, although I would be over the moon if that happened). It's a huge project, especially since every one of them is unique, but it's fun and it's keeping my hands/mind busy when I start to feel frantic.

After the kids are in bed each night, I can usually be found at the kitchen table, glue gun in hand and surrounded by fabric, glitter, and feathers of all sorts. Here are some pictures I want to share-


28 down... a lot more to go! Hopefully I will get them done in time. I'm thinking I might need to have a mask making/movie party.

And this one is my favorite so far- I call it "The Owl."

Thanks for looking!
