I just got a wedding invitation the other day from the couple who already has everything. They said in lieu of gifts, they would like us to donate to one of three charities provided. What a great idea! :) Good idea. I just got a wedding invitation the other day from the couple who already has everything.

I'm sure that the bride will be pleased and happy to hand them out to her bridesmaids (they of course will squeal with delight over them). Thanks for the link to the zipper tutorial. :-) --Tami What great bags!

We rarely buy solely from a registry anymore. We usually buy one smaller gift and then I add something crafted to it. Like buy the baking pan, and then make an apron and pot holders to go with it. But I like your idea of offering crafting services. Awesome work. When I have my second wedding (to the same hubby I have now) I'll make sure to book you well in advance! What a great idea.

I have a friend who had a baby this year and I "bucked" the registry by creating some wall art for the baby's room. Hope you're doing well Kelli! As usual, I love it!

Sure, I understand the practical nature of it & all, but who wouldn't rather have hand-crafted African Kelli gifts? I’m a big supporter of deviating from the registry.
