I really wanted to get a lot done today but that didn't happen. I can tell you that I did do one time consuming thing today...I made my Disney Bride shirt. It took me forever to hot fix each of the crystals to the shirt. I had made a pattern using the Disney font and a screw punch. The pattern worked perfectly but it was time consuming placing all of those crystals!! It is very sparkly though and that is what I wanted! I have a feeling there is going to be crystals on everything...it is addictive!

Here is my shirt...

Lisa your shirt turned our great! I didn't even attempt that project. I bought ones already made from a lady on Etsy. Way easier

Thank you! I should have just ordered one! I cannot wait to see all of your hoodies, I am glad the "bling" finally came in! Are you having a rehearsal?

Lisa, Goofy4ever, I SO should have just ordered it. Although, I only paid a little over $15.00 for my crystals last year and I still have a ton of them left. That is the only perk!

Your shirt looks great! I can't believe you did it by yourself.I ordered them from etsy too! Glad to see you getting things checked off the checklist. I am sure its a good feeling

 

[ccbride412]

Awesome job on the shirt Lisa! It looks great!

Thank you for the comments on my shirt.

1 month from today!! It does not seem possible and I still have a TO DO LIST!!

This weekend (Saturday) there are a few of us doing a suedo Bachelorette party at Ft. Wilderness. It should be a blast! We are staying in one of the cabins- 6 of us and will have 2 golf carts and will see what kind of trouble we can get into! I am sure I will have some pics!!

My suitcase is coming out today also to start putting wedding items in so I don't forget anything. Oh, and the Tylenol PM is coming out as well since for some reason I am not sleeping...I think I am so excited to marry the man of my dreams! Lord knows I kissed a lot of frogs waiting for my prince!

[PixieDust1969]

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! my 1 month ticker is gone! That means I have got to get organized!

I got my car flags from Oriental Trading yesterday. They are very cute but are true Oriental Trading quality. Since we are driving home from the port which is about an hour and a half, I am sure there will be nothing left of them by the time we get home! What can you expect for $4.25 each!

Everything looks great! You are so close now (and I'm impressed if you start packing with 4 weeks to go, I didn't even start packing with 4 days to go).

Bachelorette Party

Since I am not a huge Bachelorette fan, I was convinced by my sister to at least go and have a girls night out this past Saturday night. I am SO glad we did this...

We got to Ft. Wilderness at 11:00 on Saturday. We had arranged for an early check-in and were lucky enough that they had a room that was not booked the night before and was ready. We got checked in and got our stuff loaded into the room and waited for everyone to get there, well the other 4.

We spent some of the afternoon opening gag gifts, snacking and having some adult beverages. We had quite a few...we went out in the golf carts, we had two, and met lots of people and looked at the decorated campsites. LOTS of Halloween decorations. I love driving around and looking at people's creativity. Christmas time is awesome too!

We went and watched the fireworks on the beach. Gorgeous weather!! We went to bed around 2:30 and got up the next morning (all of us in pain) and went to breakfast at Trail's End. We were all packed up and ready to leave at 11:30. We were just a little late getting out of there. It was a great time!

Here are a few of the pictures I can post... (We made a pact, no pictures on Facebook!)

This is me on one of the golf carts, all decorated!

Both of our carts had lots of balloons, ribbons, and bells.

Some of our poison. We were drinking "Sunken Treasures" a drink from the DCL and one of my and Geoff's favorites.

After breakfast the next morning.

I got a Vistaprint box in the mail today!! I had ordered some of their "free" stuff. I have realized you pay for the stuff with the cost of shipping. Even with the cost of shipping, it is a good deal and I got some good stuff. (Thank you PrincessTinker11 for suggesting Vistaprint a while back)

I got a free return address label stamp and a pen that I am not going to post. But I did get magnetic car signs and a banner.

Here they are...

I thought the banner would be a good room decoration for after the wedding and on our honeymoon. I love the car magnets. I got two of them, one for each side of the car.


This is a car magnet I ordered from Oriental Trading that I thought would be too flimsy to stay on the car but I may use it on the trunk or something.

 

[Ash8716]

Glad to hear you listened to your sister about a girls night! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun and you will always have those memories! I'm not a big fan of bachelorettes either though so I don't blame you for not wanting the whole thing. Alcohol and Fort Wilderness sounds like a great girls night to me! I love the golf cart thing, so cool

The items you got on Vistaprint are GREAT! Nice idea for a bachlorette get together...I too felt a bit on the older side to be having a party so I didn't have one but a nice day outing would have been nice...too close now to us leaving to do anything now lol Definitely looked like a good time!

TWO WEEKS!! You are so close! I am SO ready to get the show on the road. I have a lot to do but I am totally ready! Yeah, I have seen too many Bachelorette parties gone bad with some of the older brides so I played it safe. Plus, I didn't want some 20 something saying, "Look at that old lady dressed like a bride!" And the recovery time isn't as quick as it was in my 20s. It took me ALL day yesterday to recover!

 

[Goofy4Ever]

Lisa what a cool idea having your "event" at Fort Wilderness. If I lived in Florida I would have done the same I did not want the typical party either so we went to the casino for the night. It was perfect

We are all so close....can u believe it???

I love the idea of having a Casino Night! That would have been so much fun as well!

We are close, but you are the CLOSEST!! You must be so excited!! I cannot wait to hear all about it!

Hi Lisa,

I've just caught up with everything! You're so close to your big day

Everything still looks amazing, I'm really looking forward to seeing the photos of it all in action.

Love the marraige licence photos, that was really nice of the lady to do that.

Your shower looked amazing, you sis did a fantastic job, I love the little candles and the cake.

Your Hershey bars are cute, you photos of you when you were little at WDW are so nice, I love the one on Dumbo.

Your tshirt came out great, I wish I'd have done one of them but I'm hopeless with things like that.

Your bachelorette party looked fun, love the balloons on the golf carts. Glad you had a great time.

The next 3 weeks & 4 days will go by so fast! xx

My friend had her bachelorette party at Fort Wilderness a few years back. There were about 10 of us in a 1 bedroom cabin, but I have to say it was probably the best one I've ever been to!! We had so much fun, although we didn't get any golf carts (none available) and the bus ride to dinner was a little iffy after shots, but it was great! (we even had "chip and dale" dancers!!)

Congrats! You're so close! I can't wait to see how everything turns out!
