Mr. Bloom and I discussed what we wanted to give to our wedding guests as thank you favours.  We decided on giving a CD to one half of a couple and a personalized shot glass to the other half.

My flower girl baskets are here!
They are absolutely gorgeous.  At $12 CAD a piece + combo shipping, it was a great deal.  Yes, another buy from eBay.  I was going to make the baskets myself.  However, after tallying the cost of satin, satin and organza ribbon, charms, fancy edging, and the basket itself, it would have [...]
