atalanta... you're too kind...i'm soooo looking forward to my big day...9 weeks and counting!!! woo hoo!!! sleep was 'ok'...got ALOT on my mind these days...ugh?!? but i'm thankful and grateful...for another GREAT day! make it a good one, ladies!!! until next time, happy planning!!! R~

its all good starfish0512... if you're using powerpoint for your stuff, you can change the color of the images...i can help...send me a PM..and i'd be happy to discuss offline... if you're on gmail, we could even chat about it. R~

well, ladies..its wednesday and well after 11:00pm CDT...but i can't sleep...so i'm going to send ya'll a pick of DIY CENTRAL aka my kitchen table...as you can see..its OUT OF CONTROL!!! but in an organized chaos sorta way. i'm OFFICIALLY consumed with ALL THINGS DIY AND WEDDING RELATED... oh and here's one more tidbit..custom DND signs for me (while i'm getting ready), my husband (while he's getting his 'rico suave' on in prep for the wedding) and to commemorate our wedding night...woo hoo! alright, ladies..that's it from here...guess i better try to get some sleep..work will be calling my name in the AM..ugh?!? as always, happy planning!!! R~

awww...amjohnson..it would be my pleasure to take a peak...its late tonight..but i'll definitely take a look at them tomorrow.... i'll get back to ya... stay tuned...as always, happy planning!!! R~

very cute idea...i wonder if you were to give them out pre-travel..say in your OOT bags or for your AHR..might that be a better option..traveling with food can be tricky and tropical weather..uhm, might not be a good look... i agree with tori..if you get them in air conditioning right away you might be ok..but if you don't..well, i'd hate to even think about the $$$ going down the drain... hmmm.... good luck with this one... R~

i think you've started a riot...lol!!! R~

i've got a GREAT canon printer...it does work wonders but i also think its the paper i've been using... i'm ALL about bazille from Michaels... R~

kkimi88...you're so sweet and made me blush! ya'll really do know how to make a girl feel good... the drink umbrellas are all custom..i cut them out, pasted them...added the toothpicks and bead and viola...CUSTOM DRINK UMBRELLAS...to be frank, i'm not certain that they will make the ultimate DIY list..but i thought they were cute and a 'maybe' for the wedding...if they don't make the wedding, that's ok..i'll think of an alternate use for 'em...maybe a party at home or something. i'll definitely take pics of all of my DIY projects "in play" in Jamaica... THANKS, love!!! stay tuned... stay tuned and as always, happy planning!!! R~ ps....i'll post from time to time leading up to the 'final' planning thread...

THANKS so much for posting that you got approval. i sent a note to Silvia and have yet to hear from her...she's usually very responsive so i'm wondering WTH?!? R~

yeah, i think the FREEBIES are coming to an end...if i were a 2012 bride..i'd wait awhile..then try back in january...or have your TA call. i'm afraid too many BDW folks have been calling and getting in on the FREEBIES that the 'gig is up'... sorry, ladies!! R~ ps..i bet the guides will still be FREE...

hi, skygirl... i go home EVERY night and DIY..i have a list of things to complete and then try to complete them that night... honestly, i really need to GET A LIFE..but right now, i'm ALL THINGS WEDDING..plus i have a deadline..so the DIYing continues... until next time, happy planning!!! R~

hi, tori!! my purple paisley is printed on cardstock..then cut for various uses..luminaries, envelopes, etc. not a find...just a good printer...now the silver damask is preprinted on vellum that i found at hobby lobby...gotta love MICHAELS AND HOBBY LOBBY!!! i also printed my paisley on vellum which i'll use for luminaries...those are SUPER SUPER cute..but i gotta hold onto those so ya'll will have something to look forward to in my final planning thread and/POST wedding review, etc. but you can see some paisley luminaries in the pics from our at home ceremony..that's just printed cardstock. stay tuned... R~

awww...jandG....you're awfully sweet. i plan to post a nice LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGG and FINAL planning thread as my big day approaches...not sure if i'll do it pre or post beach wedding..but i promise to upload lots of pics of ALL of my final stuff... i'm actually in the process of finalizing my OOT bags as i'll be hand delivering those at the end of this month... stay tuned... as always, until next time...HAPPY PLANNING!!! R~

i'm going back and forth on programs..i think i'm going to do them..then i think..oh gosh..another project... still on the fence. if i do them..it'll likely be a passport or a tri fold..just need to make a decision, already. R~

toiinlove, i've purchased cigars on property and no they're not the same price..they're marked up...like anything else at a resort, unfortunately. i'm thinking of bringing cigars or maybe purchasing some locally before we get to the resort..i'd love to have a cigar roller but well, that might be a bit much...
