Disney with a Southern Twist- Tomber 11.11.11 UPDATE: BLOGGED & LIFE!! 1/24!

[sw33t_angel]

Hellllllllllooooooooooooooooooo!!!

So I am still alive ladies!! I just thought I would give you guys a quick update before I go to bed!!

I am trying to make more of an effort to make it online so bear with me!!

I had a mini hair break-down when I decided that I had to have my hair red again- and wanted to see if I loved it enough to keep it for my wedding day- so I dyed it... and needless to say it didn't work I guess my prior hair color was too dark and the dye didn't really take... so then I got another red dye that was supposed to be good for darker color hair... and needless to say..it turned my hair a sort of maroonish-vampy red color, which I didn't like at all!! So I took Jen's fabulous advice and tried a product called Color Oops, which is supposed to take all the dye out of your hair- so I tried it and can already see a big color difference more to my original hair, so I am letting it air dry as we speak, so hopefully it will look good once it is dry!

I MIGHT try to dye it the original red I wanted since it will be lighter now- but I will see how it looks with my al-natural!

Let's see... on the wedding front- I finally got a weekend off in 2 weeks so my parents and my brother and sister-in-law are coming down to Charleston and we are going to take our engagement pictures all throughout Charleston, so it will be kinda of a tour for the family as well as getting some good pictures! I am going to use my Mixbook Groupon to make the pictures into our guest book so that will be taken care of soon in the near future as well!

Speaking of guest books- I stumbled upon this awesome idea for an alternative/additional guest book I am totally thinking of doing- especially since we just got an ipad2, I think it would be perfect, and SO unique!! What do you think?

Thrilled For You

I can't wait to see your pictures around Charleston! I've heard it's a beautiful city and I want to come visit someday The digital guestbook sounds really cool! And I like doing that in addition to a more traditional one, it would be really nice to have both.

That's some to-do list you've got there - but I bet it feels good to have it all written down and in one place!

 

[lilsqueakrr]

GET YOUR BOOTY MOVING ON THOSE DAMNED SAVE THE DATES MISSY! DON'T MAKE ME FLY DOWN THERE!

Love the guestbook idea. I'd do it if I were you! It's so cool!

[lilsqueakrr]

[sw33t_angel]

So I finally finished the Save the Dates!!! (granted there are going to be a few stragglers due to last minute addresses and additions to the guest list)

BUT I AM DONE!!

Now... to start looking towards the invitations....

There are magnets on the backs of the STD's so they can be easily hung!

SO I have all the addresses organized, and the labels good to go for the invitations, so that time around should be a lot easier!

SOooooooo excited for my engagement pictures this weekend!! I will definitely let you girls in on some sneak peeks!!

I am still debating on dying my hair red... I lightened it a lot and kinda like the brown now- but I am still in love with the red! I don't know what to do!!

Also, just a side story/fun fact:
The other day I was going through all the new Cars 2 toys and we got one in that was named Tomber and I lost it because I immediately thought of you and your DF! So there you go, you two are famous and in Cars 2!!!

Thanks Wedding Twin!!!

I totally just looked it up when I read your post!! Thank you!!!

Oh my gosh! We are totally famous!! DF was like, " Nu huh..." and then I showed him this!

Official Description:

Tomber is a dubious little French car with an unusual, and very unstable, three-wheeled design that befits the meaning of his name – to fall. By trade he deals car parts from a stall in a Parisian market—though his questionable merchandise sources have led to his reluctant acquaintance with British secret agent Finn McMissile.

We look so cute in Pixar fashion!

The meaning is "to fall" and I told DF it was " to fall ... in love..." hahaha... I am such a cheese ball over here...

 

[KristiLyn]

And I wanna be Pixar famous...!! haha! So jealous!

Looks like I have missed quite a few updates...
Love that necklace. It is gorgeoussssss! I also really like the cupcakes. I think the picks look like the easiest, and probably will display the best. Not sure if you started working on these already or what you decided to go with.. & the std came out awesome. I really need to get me a cricut!

 

[pixiegirl]

I love your STDs!!! They turned out awesome. Do you know how you want your invites yet? Will they be similar? I can't wait to see what you come up with!!!
