Organize Your Christmas Cards in 2015!

Wanted to post a reminder about my Christmas Card Book Covers! In 2012, I posted instructions on how to create your books once you've ordered your covers, but just wanted to post some updated photos and a little reminder of how to create your books here.

First stack up all your cards. Then take 2 or 3 at a time and hole punch them using 2 holes of a 3 hole puncher.

After you've done that, take a few minutes to ooh and aww over your friends cute families. :)

Then put your book together using binder rings that you can purchase at office supply stores or even grocery stores. 

I like to put our family Christmas card as the first card in my books! 

That's pretty much it. Pretty simple. If you want to ensure that your covers last, feel free to laminate them yourself. I've had some of my covers for a few years now though & they are fine! Its up to you.

I love having all of my Christmas cards in organized books to display each Christmas season or flip through when I want to go down memory lane. 

Order yours today in my Etsy shop. If you want to order more than 5, send me an email (eleanorboynton@gmail.com) or Etsy message and I'll get a reserved listing set up for you to purchase. Let me know if you have any questions! 

Happy 2015!

A Succulent Bridal Shower!

My best friend Lindsay got married last weekend in Austin & we threw a bridal luncheon for her on the Friday before her wedding at Abel's on the Lake. We decided to go with a succulent theme (just cause it sounded fun!) -- here are some pics below!

The invitations for the shower had a yellow chevron background with aqua and coral succulents (made by Oh Louise! of course!). For each place setting we planted a succulent in a mercury jar vase from West Elm. I used metal stamps to put each guests initials on a vintage silver plated spoon (this was also their partay favor). 

I found a couple of old wooden crates in Canton for $5 a piece and stained them to get them the right color. Then we had Dirt (a florist specializing in succulents in Bishop Arts in Dallas) fill both crates with a variety of succulents and a few flowers that coordinated with the invitation colors.

We also had a menu at each place setting that coordinated with the invitations.

One of the tables all finished!

Another pic of a place setting.

We spray painted this frame from ikea to use as a photo prop!

The wedding party with the bride!

Beautiful succulent petit fours for dessert made by Red Raspberry. They were a huge hit! :) 

yummm

The end!! Hope you enjoyed our succulent shower! :)

Happy Lovin' Day!
