I was wondering, did you book your hair appointment before boarding the ship? If so, did you do that through the Carnival site?

Thanks for this info!

Welcome and good luck with planning! We're dong a carribbean 7 day cruise w/ family and friends w/ kids in March next year. That can be an option for you as well

This was my inspiration from Save On Crafts site w/c, btw, has great deals on wedding things! http://www.save-on-crafts.com/memoboard.html I wanted to save so I took advantage of the deals at Michael's Crafts Store on Black Friday and purchased a 24X30 blank canvas that was buy one get one that looks something like below. I purchased a burlap at Joann's Fabric that I also used in my ring bearer pillow. Link found here for that DIY: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/83403/burlap-ring-bearer-pillow-diy. They also have a skeleton key burlap style as well if you're interested. I utilized this instruction: http://www.everycreativeendeavor.com/2011/11/burlap-message-board-tutorial.html for the basic board creation. I purchased the upholstery tack and string at Home Depot and also got the corkboard from Michaels. I just hot glued the corkboard onto the canvas, wrapped the burlap around and stapled on the back. I trimmed the excess burlap to make it look neat. As for placing the tacks, this tutorial helped out a lot since I didn't get to take pictures: http://www.houseofhepworths.com/2012/03/05/diy-burlap-message-board/ I placed 5 tacks on each side and placed the string across each sides. I copied the amount of tacks they had from the inspiration board and this is how it came out. I glued the string to the back and trimmed it off as well. I'll be placing pictures of our parents and grandparents in this for our reception back home.

Hello! I've been on a DIY lately and my latest creation that I wanted to share is my burlap ring bearer pillow that I upcycled from a thrift store find. If I remember correctly, I got two small (5.5 in x 5.5 in) pillow and two small flower girl baskets for about $3. The pillows worked out perfectly since my ring bearers will only be about 8 to 6 months respectively by the time our wedding comes around March next year so I thought I'll have it wrapped around their bellies. I've also been looking around for a DIY tutorial online on how to put a burlap pillow, but have had no luck. I did have an idea, however, on what I wanted mine to look like from Pinterest ideas so I thought, what the heck, I'll wing it. So here's my first attempt at this My idea in mind I trimmed the lace that was on the edge of the pillow & cut out the lace ring holder I cut two pieces of burlap that's just a little bigger than the pillow (7x9 inches) I didn't want to remove the filling in the pillow; and since I wanted the rough edge look, I thought it'd be easier to just insert the pillow in burlap. So... I sewed the three edges. Inserted the pillow Placing my idea in mind to see how it's coming together Sewed the top ede w/ the pillow inside. NOTE: Make sure to leave enough room up top so it fits in the sewing machine just to be safe. THEN I trimmed the edges to make it look even. Sew the lace to the side edge This is how the back looks like. I left it like that so the babies can fit in it. I'll probably cut it so it can just tie on their backs. Glue the lace ring holder Glued the fabric flower I also create from a turtorial like this: http://www.creaturecomfortsblog.com/home/2012/4/3/diy-fabric-peony-flower-accessories-gift-toppers.html Finished product w/ my engagement ring to test The End!
