yeah the hardest part if figuring out WHAT you want... tht took me forver to decide. I ended up using my photoshop for it all and prnted them off hee at home. I got the special paper from AC MOORE. I paid $30 for about 35 of them. I think DIY is the way to go. And all of my guests were really impressed and said that meant alot to them

Hmm would it have the effect that vellum paper does? I guess i could try and see what it does. i have nothing to lose. thanks

I teared it apart last night. I have a glass candle holder about 8 inches high and I got special vellum paper to print on a lil poem and then in memory of ... I printed them off on the vellum and bought hodge podge (er sumthing like that) for paper to glue to objects. As soon as the thin layer of glue i applied to the paper, the vellum starting curling up. I go to put it on the glass and all the ink bleeds The problem is any other adhesive shows through.. so now I'm screwed and out of options.

awww that is the sweetest shower gift EVER! Your Mom did a wonderful job. Yep i agree the veil was meant to be SO WHERE ARE THE PICS? LOL

aww Jules you know I would.... but I'm seriously sick of shopping for seashells AND arts and crafts. i'm pissed my memory candles didn't work out. I'm screwed

YAY! Congratulations, that is wonderful news!

thanks Shelley. I'm scared of sand scratching the rings and I don't want that. I may just leave it. I'm sick of these projects

Okay ladies this is mine. i made it last night. I can't figure out what it's missing. with or without ribbon?

Hey Julie how was your shower? Got any pics? lol

man I just got home from the largest shell store ever! It was crazy, seriously. Isles and isles of shells and do you think I could find what I was looking for? No.... so now Im going to settle for what I got. Spent $6 and got 3 starfish 3 sand dollars and 1 big shell. Now I must build something.

Yep. I was looking at our pre cooked mequite chicken breasts, thinking they wer ea healthy choice but they have 60% of your daily sodium intake. That is crazy. Then I started looking at everything. Salad dressing is another bad one. Ugh. I feel so frusterated. Last night was J's bachelor party and I went to a friends going away. I ordered a $16 ceasar salad which was very small and a bowl of the soup of the day which was also small. I was soo hungry so I went for the bread. I feel so guilty. Stupid fancy restaurants.

Congrats Julie that is such an achievement. Now that's motivation. I tried on my welcome dinner dress which was tight before and now it's so easy to do up the zipper. woohoo! OK have you girls noticed how much sodium is in EVERYTHING?! Seriously isn't sodium bad and makes you retain water?

thanks for sharing leigh.

You girls are doing great. keep up the good work. Our wedding will be here before you know it.

yah me neither (time and $ for tanning). I usually tan in the sun not burn.... that would be funny if i burned down there. hahahahah OMG I'd die

That's funny she comented on them. You will be in mexcio a few days before right? I'm just going to tan like crazy while I'm there. i hope. If I'm still pasty then I guess it was meant to be.

Well then treat yourself. i know what you mean about family loving food, mine is the same way. And it seems they always make the favorites. So enjoy yourself, perhaps eat before you get there then you wont be as hungry?

Have fun! can't wait to hear about it...

Love the detaling carly. You look good in it, good choice of dress.

That was perfect Paula, you covered everything. THANK YOU!

Jill, you know better. As appealing as the forum is, isn't looking and feeling great in your wedding gown better? I usually think of how excited I am and pump myself up... then force myself to work out. The hardest part is always the making time, forcing part. Once I'm working out, I'm good.

Only 5 more weigh in's till I leave, I better get at least 2 lbs next Friday. Although, this weekend is my step-dad's 50th birthday and my shower. Oops. You're a good motivator. LOL 1lb is good! Hey it's something to celebrate. I take it you're drinking for the shower right? Well, YOU better be! LOL I know wine/liquor/beer/soda/pop isn't good for the diet sooo what I do is I order a vodka pressed with a dash of cranberry juice. It tastes AMAZING. PLus it rehydrates you too. Or you can do rum and diet coke. What do you like to drink Julie anyways? haha

You look awesome Jill. I love the way your dress photographs... it's like white but opal kinda. sorry hard to explain. It's soo beautiful. Now I can see why you were so excited. Your veil is really nice too. I wish i would have done a veil with lace trimming. not too much longer and you will be walking down the isle. dum dum da dummmm
