Sigh..FINALLY!!!

I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I placed my order with Diane of DK Designs back in 2008 and changed my mind on her gazillion times. Then, when she sent me the pictures of all our items, I was so eager to pick them up. And we initially told her that we were going to pick them up on Friday, the day Mr. JB usually works from home.

After having his night out with the boys yesterday, and coming home around 11:30-ish, I convinced Mr. JB to stay home. I didn't want him to wake up too early and be tired at work. Aren't I nice? ;)

Right before Mr. JB came home, I emailed Diane to see if our items will be ready. I told her that Mr. JB may stay home tomorrow and it'd be great if we can pick up the items then. She replied back to me today morning to say that the items may not be completely dried yet. When I told Mr. JB, he thought I was crazy for wanting to go down to San Jose today. He said, we should just wait until Friday. I emaield Diane (thank goodness she's quick with her emails) and told her about Mr. JB's concern about having those favor boxes ruined. She replied right back to say there shouldn't be any problems and that I can pick them up. Within 10 minutes of her replying back, we were out the door, getting ready to pick my lovelies up.

I've waited so long. I wondered how they will look like. I know I've seen pictures of them...but I just wanted to touch them and have them in my possession. I want them.

Within 45 minutes of leaving the house, we were there. Yes, we made what would've been an hour trip into 45 minutes. We didn't want to get there too late since Diane was taking her son to the swimming practice. I walked in and saw my lovelies on her table. Swwoonnn.....She told me how to pack them and to have our favor boxes dry outside. We brought them back home and the favor boxes are being dried in our living room as we speak.

Diane also blogged about our order on her blog: **the following was copied from Diane's blog**


The final pieces of Joyce's order...



As I write this blog post, Joyce and her fiance are driving down from San Francisco because Joyce is anxious to pick up her order and didn't want to wait until Friday. Who could blame her?! :)



The last pieces of her order were the two boutonnieres and the 30 orchid flower favor boxes. So without further ado... here they are! I'm glad this order is complete and ready to be picked up because that means now I can cross it off of my long list of orders to do and move onto the next one. I'm excited about the next blog post (more butterflies, flowers with crystals and a BIG BLACK BEE!)... LOL, you'll just have to wait and see.

All my best wishes to Joyce and Chris on their wedding day!
