Pinkcow's DCL Wedding 12/8/09..... 1 Year Later!

[Wish on a Star]

Yay another gemstone wedding ring! LOVE IT

 

[MadilynnsMomma]

Thank you ladies!!!! I really love it! Can't wait for it to get here!

Sarah you are good!! It was Overstock! It also comes in pink topaz, which I really like, but I liked the peridot just a little more!

I need that - in pink - ASAP...

::runs over to overstock.com::

 

[MadilynnsMomma]

So you get your ring and fall off the boards?

 

[pinkcow]

I'm still here!!!

I REALLY REALLY wanted to post pictures, but I haven't received the ring yet!!

Thank you for all for the kind comments! I will def post pics when it arrives!!

 

[pinkcow]

After stalking the Overstock people and the mailman, I have my ring!!!!!! (they delivered it to our rental office rather than our mailbox)

It's a little big, so I'm going to have to deal with that somehow, but otherwise really nice!

 

[pinkcow]

We created our welcome bags!! I still haven't figured out exactly what to put in them yet.... But we have them!!!

We took a standard canvas bag and used an iron on transfer

 

[pinkcow]

Well they one and only thing we have to put in the bags are magnets. I'll put in an envelope each with a Shannon and Rich logo and Mickey heads.

The Mickey heads were created because our printer kept spilling ink all over the place. I don't think it took the thickness of the magnet paper very well. So, with the unusable portions I painted india ink over the top to cover the inkjet. Then mixed some glitter with gloss medium and let it dry overnight. After that we used the large Mickey punch to cut out.

Thanks to all of your help, we were able to create our programs!

[pinkcow]

I am a poor college student who is saving for a Disney trip next month! I would buy it if I could...

The ring is beautiful. I heard you can get little metal pieces into the band, think small nubs, this way your ring will fit better but if your finger swells (like in the summer when it's hot, etc), the ring will still fit comfortably. And if you don't need or want them anymore, they can always file them down.

The tote bags are so cute! Love the programs and magnets too, great job!

 

[MadilynnsMomma]

Super update!!! That ring is gorgeous!!! I will be sure to show it to DF and point out to him that it is available in pink!

You totes and programs - everything - looks great! You are getting SOOO close!!!

Well let's hope you get something fabulous (and sparkly!!) on your upcoming trip!

Thanks! That's such a good idea about the nubs! Unfortunately I decided I couldn't walk around without the irrational fear of it falling off... So, sadly I will be sending it back, but I'll get the same ring in exchange. Darn printable ring sizer!!

Another one converted!! :evilly taping her fingers: Just make sure he doesn't use the same ring sizer I did!!

Thanks!! I'm trying to come up with a to-do list, because in exactly two months we'll be in Disney! I had a small OMG moment; I had to fill out all the paperwork for an upcoming trade show in January. I also had to do name tags for everyone attending. I came to myself and filled it in, then went holy crap!! That will not be my name in January! ..and quickly grabbed the white out!

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

Well let's hope you get something fabulous (and sparkly!!) on your upcoming trip!

I hope so too! I should have you talk to DB for me...

 

[pinkcow]

Where's he at?? What's his number??!

 

[pinkcow]

So we're ETA 2 months!!!

Here's what's left on the list-

• Find a pet sitter for our two furry friends (Update!! A good friend of ours offered to take care of the cats for the full 10 days!! Yay!!!!)
• Get my dress(es) altered
• Get foundation garments
• Start tanning
• Finish the photo hunt
• Start shipping boxes to my Dad's in FL
• Figure out welcome bag contents
  
• Oh! Send back our planning kit!! (I still have not been able to pry those confirmation numbers away!!)
  
• And finally loose 15lbs!!! I'm not sure if this is even possible, but gosh darn it I'm going to try!!

Thanks to all of your help, we were able to create our programs!

Oooo I really like that! I wasn't intending to do any programs as there are only 8 of us all together including us and our two boys. But I might just do it!
