She has a great letter to guests on the Cancun airport, as well as a welcome letter. Hence the member of the month logo under her name. (Now, who's got something to bring Morgan's ego back down to earth?) Ha Ha my huge ego! Did you say that because I offered to autograph pictures of myself for your OOT bags?

do you have photoshop? you can use the eraser tool to erase the line.

5x7 shutterfly, Gift Certificates items on eBay.com There are a bunch on ebay cheap. I'm sure they are from the same promotion where I got mine. The prmotion ended a while back.

There are even Visa gift cards, so you can spend it on whatever you want. That way you can wait until you move to spend them and use them for items for your new place (they don't have expiry dates on gift cards here, I'm not sure if they do where you're from). I do like the security of giving a cheque though, I never considered that people would actually steal from a wedding (although it now makes sense why I didn't get a thank you card from a gift given at a wedding a few years ago...) And I tried making the dove, I can't get its wings to flap, but I sure do know what to do with all my old magazines now!! Yep, my friend had $150 stolen from her. Terrible, isn't it? I also mailed a giftcard that got lost in the mail. So I stick to checks now. I pay all my bills online so it gives me a chance to use my cute, lighthouse checks. That is too funny that you tried to make the dove.

I can't stand not getting a thank you note. If people say they were too busy I get so annoyed. It takes time to register but they made time for that. I love a good thank you note. I got one recently for being a bridesmaid. That meant a lot to me. Then I got another later thanking me for the check. I really appreciate a personal, heartfelt thank you note.

OK all 5 codes have found a home. Enter them in the "enter special offer codes" section at the very bottom of your shutterfly page. They expire march 31st.

But I always give a check, not cash incase it gets lost or stolen. Then I get to write something silly on the "For" line. I always like when my thank you note says what they will do with it. The last wedding I went to I gave her a check. She said they will use it towards a dinning room table. I also made her a photobook & some other photo projects so it was still personal. But, that was a good friend. For other weddings, I just give a check. Sometimes I make a custom shutterfly card.

PM me if you want one (or more). This is what I used to make a book for my grandma. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t17392 I got them free from a company called Dreft. They expire on March 31st. I don't need to take on any new projects to use them. If you've made an 8 1/2 x 11 shutterfly book you can quickly downsize it to order as a 5x7. You will have to pay shipping to order the book. My guess is it would be about $5. UPDATE all codes have a home

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t17392 The final book

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t12607 the forum, of course

lately we've enjoyed calling the toilet the Tarlet.

I mean it's such a good picture of me. Maybe I can photoshop mike's head on his body. Just kidding. That's my brother. He is in many of the pictures with me.

We know you want to find something nice But it's such a hassle to find the right price So come and enjoy the day all sunny We really would appreciate a little money. Tacky in the highest degree! I can't imagine having the guts to print this on your invite. I can't imagine getting an invite with it printed on it. It would be time to make more recycled doves. That is so funny! Was that on one of those websites? I only read the first one. I read this poem to mike & then told him all about the doves. He just thought I was weird.

I use shutterfly because I'm always getting free deals. i find them on slickdeals.net. Grandma loves photobooks & freebies I made her a photobook & she takes it to the bingo hall all the time to show people.

I hadn't ordered this book yet, so I was able to update it with my new images. I still need to scan some images of me with grandma that I got when I was home for the holidays. I'll order this as a 5x7 shutterfly book with a black cover.

OK I finished the book. I redid the pages, because I bought the upgraded version of lumapix & I can export them high res now. It would probably be better to only use a few pictures & keep some consistancy across the book, but I was having fun with my new images. Just call me Senora Tacky.

Quote: Originally Posted by MsShelley again, most people will buy their own, you all will have to work out the passing of the starfish Yes, we'll definitly organize the passing individually & keep track ourselves. Maybe we can add in our journal entry who we sent ours too & got it from. I think we have already seen this is way too much for the mods to keep up with so I like that it's now our own responsibility.

Quote: Originally Posted by DougsGirl Morgan, that is such an awesome story. I just had to comment, now I'm gonna go back and look at the pic of you "crazy in love already." So sweet aww thanks. I got so sappy writting it. It wasn't how we met (at the gym doing abs). That was just one of our first dates. We met in microbiology class. It was a small class with about 20 people because it was just for micro majors. He sat behind me. I knew he liked me but I didn't realize how much. I didn't take him that seriously because I was moving out of state anyway. Finally one night he called me & said I had 15 minutes to get ready & we were meeting people from our class to play pool. We really hit it off that night & went out again 2 days later, then the next night, then the day at the gym....basically inseperable after that. I've finished the guest book, but I need to leave & meet a friend for a hike. I'll post the rest of the pages when I get back.

Quote: Originally Posted by Stormsong ohh...I LOVE this idea! Though, i think i would send my starfish to another bride...and not worry about it returning. (Kind of like Geocaching!) So, count me in! I will either buy a starfish...or borrow one from...say Morgan! lol I do plan on sending mine on a journey after my wedding. I don't want it back, but I want to know who got it next. But, they say they are fragile so it will stop it's journey when it starts to fall apart. Mine is blue. Is that fine?

Quote: Originally Posted by twelve_piece So I decided to go with a monogram bouquet jewel instead of the starfish, does this mean I can't participate? you can get a starfish for $15 shipped. I've seen bouquets with both. It really is cute how we all have the starfish. You start to notice them as you go through pictures. It's like waldo. I found the starfish!

Quote: Originally Posted by manda0812 great job Morgan and i was going to say that I love all your ideas, in fact I stole the mastercard bachelorette idea, will post a pic of it. You will have work coming out your ears if you start a DIY business. Oh, I can't wait to see it. That was really betsy's idea. I just built on it. That was a lot of fun. I was running to my car in a hurry to get home from work so I could start it.
