Awwww Jackie those were really cute (the couple pics). The Boudoir was smokin'! All those outfits and he got some really cool shots. The balloons and the fountain shots are my favorite. What a great idea.

Amy I love the colors! And the little jewels on the starfish are so cool. Great job.

LMAO - you guys crack me up. wish I was there

sent mine out on Friday.. I would hope she would have gotten it by now. maybe the post office is bein lazy. GRRR

You should be able to search sites like fisher price and hasbro for toys according to age. Soemthing like this would be good because she could ride to or walk around with it. Kids at this age love to push stuff around! PLAYSKOOL BUSY BASICS STEP START WALK 'N RIDE - Product Detail Here's some more. I love the kitchen set but it's kinda expensive. Toys By Age - Browse & Find Fisher Price Toys By Age She already has the walk n' ride. Actually that exact one. I would highly recomend it to anyone!! It totally got her up and walking when she was only 8 months old. I think that's early isn't it?

Disregard my post Amy... I saw on the toys r us site 12 months and up. Wonderful Plus no shipping - easy.

It said that it was not recomended for kids under 3.. but maybe if I ask her Mom if it's ok. I love this idea. She is 4 now and still has it.

Little People are also a big hit for 1 year olds. They have a farm set and the animals make sounds and have hair. I just bought it for my little cousin for Christmas. Books are a good item too. Hmm never heard if Lamaza. They hve a dog and I'm sure the dog would chew it up. She chews everything lol/ I had little people when I was a wee one! OMG I totally forgot about those sets. Those were so much fun. Quote: Originally Posted by JulieG At 1 my niece loved loved loved books, she still does. So maybe you could get some books. Also things that make noise and teach them the alphabet and counting. I can go look for specific things if you want Good idea. We don't have many book stores around but I'm sure I could check out some department stores. I remember those hard cover books or pop out books were really popular. Thanks girls.. I'm writing a list now. hehe

I need some help... big time. I've been looking and it seems everything is for ages 3 and up. She already has a ton of clothes and her Mom said to focus on toys... I was thinking Play-Dough but then you can make it and perhaps that's a bit too young for that kind of stuff. Any suggestions? thanks

Oh crap I did a boo-boo and voted by accident

YIKES, what a hassle. Thanks for the tips I hope some PV brides take note.

Hmmm well i got married in October and it was soooo freaking hot! We cut it down to a 20 minute ceremony because we were freightened with the hot weather and our grandparents in th heat. Some people even had a bit of heat stroke (myself maybe included) So we kept it short. I'd check out what Los Cabos is like near the end of October.

I like that idea Jen. Perhaps do up a photoshop/lumapix announcement for emailing.... just a suggestion. We didn't do announcements actually we kinda did if save the dates count. We just did up a post card in photoshop but sent it snail mail. Postage is not cheap so I'd go email.... good idea.

I agree and think it's better for your guests to start booking now instead of later. We had issues with the people who decided to wait to the last minute and it turned out their trip was more expensive than the people who booked at least 8 months in advance. IMO $50 deposit isn't too much, but if you paid for all these people I would be hounding them down kinda for money. I've had bad experiences with lending money to family and friends....

You look great hunni. Keep up the good work. I love the tatto btw. Awesome detailing Oh and the dress is very cute. I'm a big fan of the corset type lace up backings.

Ditto - Maria's nom should stay IMO

Got my SS in the mail today... DH was like you guys do SS too?! Wow, that forum is pretty cool. LOL I received a book all about coffee, can't wait to try out the recipes. YUMMY! I don't know who it is though It just said from your secret bride THANK YOU SECRET BRIDE

Heidi that comic was too cute lol

I'll go first heheh I haven't nominated in a while but I would say Maria(MikiStreak): I just love reading her advice and experiences... quite the character too Paula: Does she ever miss an important event? heheh You can tell just how thoughtful she is with birthdays and weddings. Julie(Julser): I just love her to pieces. She has a giant heart and gave alot of helpful information for current brides to be. She also helped me find the perfect pair of earings on ebay for my special day.

So much stuff going on. I'm kind of scared to log in at work. I guess they fired the person in the position previously for being on the internet too much. I have so much to do too. I fugure once i get caught up, I'll be on the forum more often. My supposed manager is a moron. Serious moron. I caught him F&%$ up 2 times already in 3 days. I mentioned it to his boss though (the one who hired me) and I guess it look like he's not too impressed with the manager either. I got the hint I may be moving into the manager position perhaps. OR I'll just be reporting to his boss rather than him. And taking on some of the superior boss' work. So that's good. Today I deleted alot of crap off the computer. I found this chicks husbands resume on the desktop. And there are plenty of non-related work programs too I had to get rid of. Kind of personalized my office and finally got my desk to where I can see the mahugany(sp) finish haha. Quote: Originally Posted by JaimeLynne Oh no, another one lost to work...

OMG I miss the snow... OK maybe for a couple days. i don't miss the shovelling. Beautiful pictures Shelley & Congrats on the Mod job. You deserve it!

Happy Thanksgiving! This will be my first American Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to it very much. DH made some brocolli salad and I made a spinach dip. We're going over to some friends house. I'm planning on eating ALL day.

Just saw the picture of Saul, what a doll!
