ok these sound gross but are SO good - i'm going to live on them if/when i'm ever preggers Cracker Cookies 1 row town house crackers (by keebler, or any buttery flavoured cracker) 1 stick butter (any kind) 1 small bag of chocolate chips (prob good w/ any kind of chips) -preheat over to 350 -lay one layer of crackers flat on cookie tray - fill tray to edges -cut butter into slabs; put slabs randomly on crackers -put in oven until butter is melted (i usually don't wait until it's preheated, and it's about 10 min) -immediately after removing from oven, pour chips on top; as they melt, smooth them w/ spoon/spatula -put in freezer for about 15-20 min. can top w/ granulated sugar; will break like bark, but you can cut it. may have to call k to pick up chocolate chips...

Humpf. The price seems pretty good also. For those that did this, what did your insert (invitation) look like? Since you have seen them, will they be messy for people to open? I would hate to choose this and then have everyone annoyed at spilling sand everywhere... i'll have to take pics of mine tonight, the inside is all done. i dont think they'll be messy; we have an extra long piece of raffia sticking out of the bottle so ppl can just pull the invite out, rather than having to stick their fingers in the bottle. they were relatively cheap to make - the shipping will the $$ part, but that's b/c we used glass bottles rather than plastic.

i love love love love love them!!! i esp. love the one in the tunnel! nice job!

i think it's a great idea - quite original! you could get thicker cd or dvd cases and put all of the info inside like a real cd/dvd!

we're doing message in a bottle invites...so far i'd say about $140 for 60 glass invites and extra material (bottles, paper, sand, etc) to spare...shipping will be the rough part, but can't imagine costing more than $1.00/invite.

oh wait - you're in philly....nm!

HAHAHAHA gotta love NJ drivers where in nj was it?

omg i love that site!!!! i'm totally getting my BM bags there!

AWESOME! thanks

hi sarah, congrats and welcome!! i'm getting married in pv, but i have never been there, and therefore am of no use to you at the present time... again, welcome - and let me know if you need info about dreams in pv b/c that's all i know about.

i got the sand at michaels, but they have it at walmart too...we got some shells at michaels but a majorite came from the website above...we also ordered our bottles from them and they were super fast!

omg i want to eat him up!!!!!! looks like you guys had a fun day!

i have the ultrasonic cleaner from sharper image too, which i use about 1x/week...still doesn't look like the steamer tho...i wear mine in the shower, but take it off to put on lotion/hair junk/etc...i also try to wear gloves when i clean. btw - i found the BEST ringholder - i think it was at marshalls or tj maxx. it's a toothpick holder - one of the ones where you pull up the cover and the whole inside comes up. i lined it w/ a stretched out cotton ball, and it's perfect b/c i have a tendency to leave it in there when i do dishes and then forget about it, and i dont have to worry about the kittens jumping up on the counter (which they're not allowed to do but do it when we're not looking) to play with it.

i was like "vibra-WHAT?" i had the ab-something or other....it actually burned my stomach - and did nothing positive...

hrm, i bet i could get some big shells, pour scented candle wax in and put a monogram sticker on the top of the wick....cute for OOT bags, if they don't look cheasy...

that's awesome!!!!!! congrats!

welcome and congrats!!!!!

great day - it's my bday!!! congrat on 7 years!

way to go girls!!!!!!

WOOHOO!!! congrats!!!

we're doing the welcome dinner, OOT bags, favors, the wedding itself and that's it. we may try to organize a group trip, but will make it quite clear that we're not paying. i dont think my guests realize how much this actually DOES cost, but they'll find out, i'm sure...

we're dancing to everyday is a holiday with you by esthero - k doesn't like 'traditional' wedding songs - what a struggle the rest of the night's songs will be!...here are the lyrics (quite appropo for a DW!) I met him on sunday I loved him by tuesday afternoon. Woke up on friday And changed my whole life to make some room. Around a quarter to two I have remembered all my lines I'll say "When I think of you, You're like my favourite song... or that melody, that melody I love" And it goes: La da da da da..da da da Hopped on the metro and I make my way home but I can't get him out of my mind No matter just how hard I try And if the rumours are true then I can look forward to some better days and getaways..... so nice Cause when I am with you You're the crescendo to that melody that melody I love We'll have better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you You've gotta let me know I gotta know for sure Don't leave me out in the cold I've gotta know for sure lalalalalalalala.... When I think of you I see better days and getaways cause everyday is a holiday with you. i originally wanted amy winehouse's there is no greater love, but k nixed that.... here are the lyrics to that: There is no greater love Than what I feel for you No sweeter song, no heart so true There is no greater thrill Than what you bring to me No sweeter song Than what you sing, sing to me You're the sweetest thing I have ever known And to think that you are mine alone There is no greater love In all the world, it's true No greater love Than what I feel for you

nothing a little photoshop can't take care of
