Since I'm trying to decide what type of wedding favors to have at my wedding this Summer, I had to tell all those other brides out there about these adorable Origami Wedding Favors ($25 for the first 25). Not only will they give your wedding guests something to do while making awkward small talk with your distant relatives, it'll also give them a pop quiz on your dating history. These cute little wedding favors hearken back to the days of playing "Fortune Teller" (also known as "Cootie Catcher" in some circles) on the bus ride home from grade school, only these Fortune Tellers are personalized with questions about you and your future husband.
The favors are made from 24-lb. ivory parchment paper, and are available in a variety of paper and ink colors. Are you as delighted by these favors as I am? For all of our wedding coverage, check out IDoSugar.

It also features, "a guest house, a bluestone slate entertainment patio, a free-form swimming pool and a two-car garage, all on a 0.31-acre property." La dee dah. I suppose not even Stop Loss's box-office flunk can stop this hunk from living the baller bachelor lifestyle . . .

Absolutely Beautiful Things recently took on the challenge of reupholstering an old armchair. I suppose this senior citizen has its charms, but it's also clearly been through a lot of wear and tear over the years. She chose a gorgeous, lattice-like pattern for the fabric, and "decided to replace the gathered arm detail on this chair with face and piping detail." Then, she topped it off with an interesting, geometric embroidered pillow. To see the transformation, read more
TeamSugar member Lafx23 recently wrote in, saying:
I have a lot of unwanted grass and weeds growing around my pool area (especially wild onions), and I really want to get rid of them. Every year it seems like they just come back twice as bad as the year before. Any suggestions on the best ways to kill them off?
