I spent last night from 11 p.m. - 6 a.m. with my grandma in the emergency room (she is 83). She fell last week and has been having problem with her vision. My dad was out of town and my aunt recruited me to drive her up there. Needless to say I'm pretty tired and had to take the day off to sleep!!! She is doing better, but is so worried that she might miss her trip to Disney!

Awwwwwwe Vanessa. I hope your grandmother is well very soon!

I ordered a groom's cake from the Dolphin bakery. Kris' nickname forever has been "moose" so I am having them use this picture as inspiration. It is suppose to be a chocolate spongecake with peanut butter filling. Yummy!

I just had to comment here! Kris will be a chocolate moose! or mousse(however you choose to spell it!)

Those gift bags are going to be the talk of the party! They're great!

Great Job Vanessa!

The funny thing is that I had to spell the word to make sure that the chef understood which moose I was talking about I also said "the woodland animal"

Thank you so much, I honestly don't consider myself to be too creative, so I appreciate your encouragement

Here is another project that I finished today. Since I do ballet I wanted to have my flowergirl wear ballet slippers. Then I saw an idea in a bridal magazine to add the butterflies which will continue the theme (the flowers all have butterfly crystals and our sand ceremony set has them too- my grandpa called me "Butterfly" when I was growing up because that's what my name means):

vanessa, do you still dance? i did for years and years and years and even went to college for it until i got hurt, then no more dancing for caryn!

i LOVE the shoes, they rock! you go girl!

 

[Kristen14]

THe butterflies are too cute Vanessa!

 

[keenercam]

The shoes are beautiful, Vanessa!!

 

[Lisella]

Those shoes are adorable!

I dance, too - ballet, tap & jazz. I am actually considering wearing decorated ballet slippers myself at my wedding as DF is only 2 inches taller than me.

Fabulous job!

I do still do ballet After my car accident I was worried I wouldn't be able to do it anymore, but my therapists actually had me start back in December because they thought it will help me build my strength back in my hips. I've never done it professionally or anything, I just do it for fun as a hobby. I dance with a group of 20 women that range in age from 16 to 35. We have a blast and usually do 2-3 performances per year.

The main thing I do is ballet, but I get pulled into jazz dances sometimes when they're short on people I have also been thinking about taking a pair of white ballet slippers to wear at the reception. I am taking my "character" shoes to wear for our dance since my other shoes are flats and I don't want to step on my dress.

 

[figmentfan814]

Thanks keenercam and Kristen! I was really happy with the final result.

I don't remember off hand, I'll have to check my file in Photoshop. I just took the regular label off the bottle and measured it then copied that size. I was able to get 3 per regular sheet of paper.

Also, I ordered the Xerox waterproof paper from Staples to use on the labels. They used to carry it in-store, but now you have to order it online. I think it was $13 for a pack of 25 sheets.

Vanessa,

I've been reading your PJ for awhile now. I've gotten so many idea from you. Good luck with your up coming wedding. I'm probably gonna be at disney then because we are going to a spring training game at wild world of sports.


just a side note to upcoming brides about the waterbottles. Another idea which I have come to find. I work at Fedex Kinkos and we have something called lammie labels. Its a laminate with a sticky surface on the back. You can laminate 3 on a 8.5 x 11 and then use the cutter. I was supposed when my manager gave me the idea.
