put the cards in here.

so I never thought we were super original but I do think me and Jacob have something seriously special. That's obvious;) Special is a freaking fantastic word for what we are. Special when we say something silly (aka. dumb), special when we trip, special when we look just a tad off. I like special.

BUT now we see that a lot of our 'ideas' are not soooo special. Arg. BUT I'm also trying to keep my chin up cause we live in a teeny tinnnnny community and I think we're still going to pull off original here cause no one surfs blogs the many hours daily, as I do:).

our first plan was to have our guests put their many, money filled cards;) into a hanging bird cage but that just didn't seem to fit us...maybe a little too....bird cage-y?! And so Jacob came up with the idea of having an open vintage suitcase. YES. Brilliannnnnt! I hate to admit....the idea has been done....several...several..........sevvvveral times!

But we like and we will go ahead with it. Mostly cause I just bought one at a Flea Market Saturday. $12. Nice.
