I scored two wine crates from a friend who works at a liquor store. I guess they are hard to come by. I also found two burlap sacks with cool graphics on them for $6! I’m going to pick up some casters for the bottom so we can move it around. This is one of my […]
Graduation Invitations & Party Favors
