OK I'm going with the hibiscus ones. I really think the rounds ones are cute, but I agree that they need to hold a credit card/ room card. Does someone who already have the hibiscus ones mind confirming that a credit card fits in them? I know they are long enough, but the width isn't on the website.

Even though I really like the bright colors of the round ones, I think the hibiscus ones would work for more things. Also, a key could be hooked to the ring on the hibiscus ones. smart thinking! I would want a credit card to fit in them. I think our room will have card keys so no need for a key ring, but the card key would fit in the hibiscus bag. see this is why I have to run everything past the forum first. I'm thinking of buying these clips to hook on them

Quote: Originally Posted by Jenn I like the round ones Morgan... more Mexican feel. that's what i'm thinking. i really like how festive they are. but they are 2x the price of the hibiscus ones & a little smaller. but, i need to spend $60 to get free shipping so I might end up tossing in something extra to get over that amount. In that case I might as well get the more expensive purses. (83 cents each vs 41 cents.)

hibiscus are 4 1/2 inchs. the round ones are 3 1/2. I'm having a hard time deciding.

help me pick one:

Are the OT notepads (flipflops or chili peppers) like post-its? Are the sticky on the back? I'd like people to be able to use them for leaving each other notes. Flip Flop Sticky Notes Assortment ok i found some that are sticky. I'm about to place a big OT order.

I used it like crazy making christmas presents, so removed it from my wedding budget spreadsheet. You can download a free trial to play with it Photo Editing Software - LumaPix :: FotoFusion It watermarks your pictures when you are done. If you just want it for siggy pics, you could always just do a screen capture & never save it as a jpg. Or make it low res & they will just pit a little watermark on it. It won't mess up your siggy.

I learned it from aspiring to be more like sarah. The basic version is $40. it's a great program. You could do something like this in photoshop of powerpoint. Lumapix is much easier.

My family swears by the insulated mugs for their vacations.... in fact they usually make new ones each time they go. I was also thinking we might encorporate into our x-mas gifts to everyone... that way I don't have to bring a ton down there and that way people don't pack their own. I know some girls on the forum have used different cups and tumblers though and they have worked out just fine. So you will probably be okay either way! that is cool taht you can combine them with your christmas gift. I went with non insulated cups. Easier to pack & cheaper. But, I like my drinks room temp so I didn't really think about it. I hate ice cold- sensitive teeth.

I've started compiling mine. I'm really excited about this one.

Considering this entire issue & the fact that the poster didn't know she had the ability to turn the signatures off, I do have a question. I know that we are all adults here and we should be responsible enough to read the rules/instrusctions of the forum prior to joining. However, I can personally say that I joined & didn't read anything that I should have read in terms of forum do's & dont's, posting & you, rules, etc. The things that I have learned here as to how the forum operates, have been trial & error and from reading other people's issues in threads. And it wasn't until AnnR bumped the posting & you thread, that I ever really read anything at all. That being said, would it seem, lets see, whats the word I'm looking for, would it seem childish to be required to read forum do's & dont's & rules, prior to joining & being able to post? It seems like a laborsom suggestion, but in the end, would it cut down on a lot of confusion/questions as to all of the features that BDW has? I think that would be a great idea. I believe it has been brought up before & someone said there is an email you get when you join. I don't remember it though. I know I was hesitant to post at first because I didn't want to do anything wrong. I have been attacked in forums in the past. I was actually surprised when everyone was so welcoming. It took me a while to start posting- now I don't shut up. There is info in the navigating the forum section, but I guess many people just jump right in to the good stuff. They also made one of the searching threads sticky.

I wonder why she would post it that way. i think all of us try very hard to be polite, friendly and open minded when we post. It's strange that someone would want to come at it like this. All I can think is that she didn't realize how rude her message was and how personally all of us picture whores would take it! hee hee hee... well we love our pictures! maybe her boss had just busted her looking at the forum during work by seeing one of our annoying large siggys. I tend to minimize the screen so I can hide the smilies. They are tucked away right now.

I just spent $60 at oriental trading, so I'm no longer at $128. I bought post-its, my bags, coin purses, clips for the coin purses & a couple things for the AHR. I'll add pics later.

Thank you for all of your input!! and Tammy for Mrs. Thanks for being a rockin' moderator!! Aww, thanks everyone for all the kind words. I love sharing my DIY ideas. I'm usually so full of excitement after i make something I've got to post it.

While it could have been written a lot nicer, she may not have realized how it sounded. *I too did not see the unedited version of the thread title though.* You can always see the old titles in the first posts. So even when mods change the title, the original posts still have the old title.

That being said this message wasn't written in the nicest of language. (and I love you too!) I want to add, no offense taken to your statement at all. I agree, it is a totally resonable question. Someone asked it before & that was a really friendly thread.
