Poofs! Let there be decor

The pavilion in which our reception will be held leaves much to be desired in the aesthetic arena. My friend Amy Smith suggested making Martha Stewart Pom-Poms to help liven the place up some. Here is what they should look like:

Amy was all set to buy a bunch of wholesale tissue paper and set up a "poofs"making sweatshop closer to the date of the wedding.  Little did she know that we'd get some help from Martha herself- or at least her minions. 

While attending a stationary trade show in New York, Amy just happened to be set up very near the Martha Stewart Living booth which had a whole display of pom-poms overhead. The curious and ever scheming Amy approached the fine folks at MSL at the end of the fair and politely inquired what they would be doing with the poofs once the show was done. "Trash 'em," was the reply. No way could Amy let pre-made poofs end up in the garbage! She somehow managed to stuff them into three large bags and save them from utter demise. Across town she trekked and not one cab would stop for poor, little Amy and her large bags of pink tissue paper. They ended up at her sister Stacee's office where they stayed until I managed to pick them up, for a ride on the NYC Subway and then onto the NJ PATH train to my house. And now their caper is done and they await another journey to Rutgers! My fine poofs courtesy of Amy Smith and Martha Stewart:
