We gathered all our supplies and committed to not having to buy anything new for the project.
let’s use up what we had on hand. I already had two visions in mind, one formal and another more casual. Actually I envisioned a beach themed event, wanting to use some sand dollars & shells I’d found on last summer’s beach vacation.
