Here are pictures from our first trip, we went in Sept, 1972...

Our first family picture in front of the Mickey flowers. This was before my younger sister was even a thought...

My sister and I with Mickey!

Me and Dopey!

My Dad and I on Dumbo

I was catching up on some of the stuff I missed! Looks like you have been busy. I love the gift bags you are giving everyone and the candy bars! You have some great ideas. I have gone back and fourth on doing these. The shutterfly book you made is such a nice touch. I have never used shutterfly but love the idea of making thank you cards with engagement photos. I think I am going to steal this idea!

Keeping busy has definitely made me not worry so much. I really like the thank you cards I get from others that have pictures and I always keep them. This way, anyone who wants a picture of you guys will have one. Shutterfly as well as lots of other sites have tons of different designs. (Artscow is another one but they are based out of China and although they are less expensive, the quality is a little less)

Awww, thanks! I read yours faithfully! I did actually go to the MAC store yesterday to get my make up done. I spent $300.00!!! I bought all of the brushes she used which drove my total right up. A friend of mine is going to do my make up. That way, I don't have to worry about it!

Awesome!! That stuff stayed on right? I showered and it was still all over my face and only the mascara had done this scary effect to my face

I did not get the brushes (all though I wanted to lol) but I did spend like 275 on everything she used...she gave me free samples of two of the items too as I was like..."OMG how much did I just spend?" LOL It will be so worth it...you will look fabulous for your photos

Oh yeah, I am not going to lie...when she told me the total I think you could have knocked me over with a feather. But, I do have to agree the make up looked great and I don't think I will have a hard time keeping it on. Now if I cry, that may be another story... We walked around the mall the rest of the day and it still looked perfect that night. All I have to say is the brushes better last a LONG time! LOL

 

[PixieDust1969]

Yeah! Got enough I'm Celebrating buttons for everyone going on the cruise! That is the last item I am putting in the gift bags.

Finish gift bags...CHECK! Now only 104 more things to do!!

I just realized that I started my PJ 1 year ago today. I had 1 year, 1 month, 1 week and 1 day left on my ticker and now I am at 1 month, 1 week and 1 day left. Boy, did that time just fly right by!

I wish time would fly be for me! We've been planning this since January and even with only 6 months left, I feel like time is dragging!!!!!

Great thanks! I'm going to check these out. I also want to put a book together of df and I for people to look at during cocktail hour! I can't believe how expensive Mac is! I was going to do the same thing but i don't know now!

I love all the pins!! We got a huge bag when we went down for our planning session too

I definitely don't want to talk you out of going to MAC. Definitely go and have them do your eyes for you so you can see. I bought everything because I got caught up in the moment but you could get out a lot cheaper. The eye shadows were $11.50 each and I got 4 of them and I also got blush, powder, foundation, eye liner, and some paint pot thing. Then, I bought all of the brushes. I just love the way my eyes looked! I had no idea the brushes were $20 and $30 a piece!

I loved my MAC make up too and yes the brushes are great but you can buy a brush set at Target for 20 bucks to save a bit The make up lasts, and lasts and lasts! lol Just what you want for a wedding

I had my final wedding dress fitting and my dress is safely at my mother's house waiting to be picked up by Geoff and I to take to the ship! Woo Hoo!

I did not have my dress on with my tiara and veil so I didn't take any pictures. I want the full effect on the day of the wedding. Another thing checked off of my long list of to do's!

Everything you have made looks great! I love that you made the candy bar wrappers for your staff. And the cake with your logo turned out beautiful!

Thanks Dolly! My sister had real issues with the cake...she said it looked terrible and she made them redo it the morning of the shower. She had asked me for a copy of it but I had no idea it was going to be incorporated into my cake! It was a great surprise. I am getting close to my wedding day!!

 

[PixieDust1969]

It has been raining in Orlando for 2 days straight and is not supposed to stop until Monday some time. You would think I would get a lot done...

My sister and FSIL went yesterday to get alterations done on their dresses. They will be ready November 2 which is 8 days before we sail. The lady that took the dresses make me extremely nervous since she didn't quite understand what we were doing (getting a halter put on a strapless dress) even though we brought my other sisters dress with us. We left her dress there as well to make sure they were all done the same way. So now, I am just saying a little prayer that none of the dresses get lost and they look somewhat the same when we pick them all up! She even tried to charge my sister and FSIL more that what my other sister paid. Thank goodness I had the receipt!
