Activity for Combay

While I've been braiding my hair, look what FH did. :-D

I mailed it to her and she tried it on. She says she likes it.

I am so proud of it. I do need to order a petticoat for it, but loving it. Here's the bottom. I've been offline trying to get it done as well as get my MOH's dress done.

I just woodburned my box for the wine bottle, love letter ceremony. Front and back. Now FH just has to stain it so that the color is sealed.

It's 36 feet long and I've still got to get the other side done, but I'm done working on it for today. I ended up putting down a bed of white roses before scattering the blues and silvers. I hot glued everything to the tulle on the back of a cookie...

I got some silver gift wrap paper, got a Fiskar cutter, made my template and cut out 110 silver linings for my cheap VP envelopes. FH just helped me to stuff them. Thanks for passing on the idea.

Invitations, RSVPs, Magnet, Free: calendar, tee shirt, tote all for $28 after my $17 Groupon. Whoo hoo. And it only took a week to process and send. Thanks to Hayley and Reenski's VP help.

This weekend, I came to MN to for my dad's 70th and we used part of the time to do some wedding shopping. We went to Macy's and found a ring that mates with my e-ring almost perfectly. We got it for over 50% off. Then we just purchased his ring from...

FH painted some more of my bottles and ran out of spray paint so I have to get more. But meanwhile, I'm stamping 500 cocktail napkins and need to reorder my diner napkins so I can stamp those too. Considering getting them prestamped. Phew.

I'm going to be adding grapes and my monogram to the box. The rosettes fabric is the same that I'm using for my dress and the rest of the design (grapes and ribbons) resembles our cake.

FH has been very helpful. He painted these for me after I removed the labels and taped them up. He also cut out the bottom so that we could put lights in them. There are more bottles, but those will have our pictures on them and stalks sticking out. ...

Do you do the couple thing or do you do your thing? Last year, FH went as the Android (Google logo) and I was a belly dancer. See below. This year we're going as a South African couple because of no time to really do anything big. I do plan on...

I swear it seems like lots of stuff I want would be better bought than rented. I want gobo lights with our monogram. The company rents out the gobo lights at $150 without the monogram, but I can pay $50 for a custom monogram and buy the gobo for $134...
