I'm a survivor; I'm gonna make it...whatever it is

I have such a creative bug these days, but also seem to be creatively blocked at the same time.  While I was planning our wedding, some of my friends on Facebook and Pinterest were doing a crafter's challenge and making things by hand for five of their friends.  I wanted to participate in that, but had way too much to do in wedding preparation.  So, I've decided to do my own challenge.  The first five people that read this post, and leave a comment....I'll make something for them.  Hopefully, I can keep up with the vast demand!

Until then, here are some photos of last month's Wine Dinner.  We did a 'Survivor' theme, but didn't vote anyone out of the restaurant.  Brad wouldn't let me have real fire torches either.  Oh well.

Each table of twenty had a team name, color and flag. 

Each table of twenty had a different tribe name, flag and color...with coordinating chairs, of course. 

I used a simple burlap table runner, and painted the guests' names on river rocks to use as place cards.  The centerpieces were made out of dried grass, sticks and twigs set in old vases that I painted to look like tiki statues and totem poles.  The menus were printed on craft paper, torn on the edges and tied around the napkins with strips of fraying leather cording. 

Now I'm ready to tackle those handmade projects for you.  Keep those comments coming!
