An AWESOME gift for your love
What I love about you book
I was looking online and found this great book. It is a fill in the blank journal/book that you can fill out about your love. I will prob. do this and give it to Jack on our wedding day. How freakin sweet :)
Here is the description: This is a do it yourself journal that you fill out about the one you love. It has everything you need to get started; all you do is fill in the blanks and add anything else you may have about that person, or things you have done together to put in this compact book. I can say that this is a unique way to say I love you to someone special. Letting them know how you feel about them not just in words, but in deeds, by taking the time to fill out this journal shows how much you truly do care. Filled with everything from the five Ws of What, When, Where, Who and Why of meeting them to filling it up with clippings, cards, notes, pictures and memorabilia of your time together. It has places where you can say this is what my life looks like with you and without you; then they understand how they fit in your life. This is an easy way to give a gift and say I love you at the same time, and have it personalized to boot. http://www.marshallbooks.net/gpage9.html |

Ask a Question
Which Black Dress do you like best?
My main colors are black and white. I have looked online recently at some black dresses for my girls. The wedding will be at the end of June, so I didn't want anything heavy or formal...just a summer wedding dress. Any opinions would be great :)
I am trying to find a dress that isn't too crazy expensive. So, I have just looked at local department stores. I haven't gone on to designer shops or anything like that yet since it's just a simple black dress that I want. Dress1: Sears $80 Dress2:Sears $70 Dress3: Forever 21 $25 Dress4: Sears $62 Dress5: JcPenney $40 Dress6: Macy's $47 Dress7: JcPenney $69 Dress8: Macy's $40 Dress9: Sears $30 Dress10: Macy's $20 Dress11: Sears $50 |

Gel Candles
How to...
I think that I might add some gel candles to my tables (probably as tealights) or to the candy buffett table. Possibly add some yellow flowers or lemons. These instructions seem pretty easy....
Materials for gel candle making gel zinc wicks (cotton wicks cant be used for gel candles because they absorb too much gel) essential oil for fragrance liquid color dye Steps to making a gel candle Place a little bit of hot glue in the center of the container bottom. Stick the wick in it and let the glue set. Cut the gel into small pieces so it melts faster and more evenly. Melt it in a stainless steel pot over a medium heat. The trickiest part is the temperature - you should get it to exactly 200°F, because overheated gel looses its clarity. For that, you will need a suitable thermometer. Maintain the temperature at 200°; all the gel should melt and become smooth, like syrup. Add color dye to the melted gel, a little bit at a time, until you get the desired color - remember, you can always add more dye to make the color stronger, but you cant take dye away. For a candle with embedded objects, you should use only a little color, so the objects remain visible Add the fragrance - 1/3 teaspoon for each glass of melted gel will give it a nice scent. For a stronger scent, add a bit more fragrance. Heat the container in the oven or microwave to about 150-160°F. This will help to reduce the appearance of bubbles If you want to use embeds, dip them in hot gel first and then arrange them in the container as you like. It is better to keep the objects closer to the sides of the container - they will be easier to see, this way. Now it is time to pour your gel into the container. Place your container on a level surface and pour the gel slowly and carefully down the side. If it is your first time, you will probably get a few bubbles; to avoid that, the gel should be still very hot. Pull the wick up. Roll it on a pencil to keep it straight. |
