Any North Idaho Brides? These fires are stressing me out!
Charis in Idaho Planning, on September 4, 2017 at 11:58 PM

Any luck preserving flowers?
Charis in Do It Yourself, on May 2, 2018 at 6:36 PM

I really want to preserve my bouquet. I’m not really wanting to keep them 3D since it takes up so much space. I’d like to do a pressed arrangement like the one attached. Has anyone done it? Oddly I...

Charis in Hair and Makeup, on April 30, 2018 at 5:53 PM

I have no idea what I want to do with my nails. Something fun but not crazy colors or anything. I have a great nail person but I'd love to see what you all have done so I can get inspired! Thanks!

Our good friend became an officiant so he could marry us. After racking my brain for a give I found this. It’s perfect for him. When do you think it’s the right time to give him the gift?
