DIY Beaded Earrings in 5 Minutes!I love to DIY!! However, due to time constraints and lack of attention for more than a short period of time… I need my projects to be quick and easy with immediate results. Seriously, if a project has a long prep time, a ridiculously long list of materials or takes an outrageous amount of time to complete, there is a good chance that at some point along the way, I’m not a happy camper. (Can I get a witness??) And don’t even get me started on what happens if a project is so time consuming that I miss a meal! I get quite cranky when hungry! Of course any angst I feel ...

DIY: Beaded Table NumbersA lucky visit to my favorite store in New York, Tinsel Trading, provided a simple solution to one of my wedding-day decor dilemmas. These adorable beaded letters are sold there for $10/each - and even if 18 tables x $10 had seemed reasonable, I still would have made my own set. Luckily for me, Tinsel Trading only offers these as letters, not numbers so I headed to my trusty local bead-emporium and got myself to work.
