Martha, Martha, Martha!

Whenever I hear the word "merlot" I think of Martha Stewart. Made-for-TV Martha movie, anyone? Anyone? No? I didn't rent it and watch it last Thanksgiving night, either. Anyway, moving on.

Anyone that's a multi-billionaire for perfecting the art of homemaking AND can get Snoop Dogg on her show to make mashed potatoes is alright in my book. And Martha's wedding website is no exception to her always impeccable taste. It's a goldmine for DIY projects that will add charm to any wedding reception, and Martha does the work for you by providing downloadable templates for these projects on her site. Here are some of my favorites:

So, now you might be wondering, "Well, sure, MARTHA can make these, but what about me?" Well, I'm here to tell you that even this Owl was able to create a custom banner for her wedding. And you know what? It wasn't hard. At all. Time-consuming, maybe, but the efforts paid off when we walked into our reception room to see this waiting for us:
