This is another project I'm not so sure about.....

This is the first side of the cardbox. It's four frames nailed together (Thanks Dad!). This is just a picture from the fridge to give a rough idea of what I'm going for. This first side actaully took longer then expected. I'm happy with it so far but who knows, remember the original cake topper?
Here is a link for building your own cardbox from picture frames. (Mine is not exactly the same.) http://adorkable.so-uneek.com/d.php?go=cardbox

Pics coming soon!

I am working on a bunch of stuff for the 40th wedding anniversary party! I have pictures coming soon!

Yea, double dip!

Ok, to the left is the slip after the first dip.

To the right is after the second dye. I think
it looks a little bit bluer and that what I wanted, so I'm happy!

Something old

Hard to see, but this is my something old. It is an antique looking necklace given to me by Bethshow. I am thinking about removing the chain and tying the "charm" to the comb for my veil.

Is it ok to double dip?

I decided that my blue crinoline just wasn't blue enough. So I figured I would try and dye it one more time. I want it to be REALLY obvious that it's something blue!

And we thought the dress drama was over!

Ok, it is obvious I have NO luck with dresses! It took me a while and I finally found the perfect bridesmaid dress. I asked the girls to order it and two weeks later I went to find the link to forward it..... and guess what? No longer available. So I frantically texted all the girls to see who had ordered theirs hoping that we got them all. Heather and Beth had theirs and that was it : ( So now we are back to the drawing board and I'm going to have to figure out something else. I'm sorry Heather and Beth! I feel really bad.

Wedding hair

I have had to great offers from friends. One is from Beth, one of my bridesmaids, to do my hair for the wedding. Saturday was JoAnna's wedding and Beth did her hair too. I popped in while everyone was getting ready at Jo's sister's house so Beth could throw my hair up..... it was really rough looking and needed it. And while she was doing my hair I saw one of the bridesmaid's perfect wedding hair! She was nice enough to let Beth and I take a pic during the reception. That's the hair I want for my wedding!

The second offer I got was at JoAnna's reception. My friend David from work was helping Jason and I set up cameras (We were the videographers!) and we were talking about my wedding. David and I are twins. We are both extremely detail oriented people. And David offered to be my wedding coordinator! He is going to oversee a lot of little details that I won't have time to do. He will know exactly how I want everything and when everyone else is busy he can be the go to guy. I am pumped because he will do a really nice job and then I won't have to worry..... as much. That also lets the friends and family stress a little less.
