I did a LOT of DIY for my July 20, 2013 Wedding. There were a few projects that I got help from my bridesmaids and friends (like my placecards to go on my Homemade Olive Oils). There were (many) other things that my *now* husband

If you were a guest at my wedding on July 20, 2013 – that may be a question you are asking yourself as you received a beautiful bottle of homemade Rosemary Infused Olive Oil as your Favor/Seating Card.
