  Damask Napkin |
Damask Plates??
Hmmm. I need to think about this one.
   There are so many options now that we are having our reception on a boat. To make things easier (and shatterproof) when we hit waves, I have been thinking about doing designer paper plates. If that makes sense. I have seen the plastic champagne glasses, the damask napkins, and i'm thinking... black sturdy plastic high gloss plates. We'll only be having hors d'ouerves and cocktails. There won't be a dinner- well a sit down dinner. The captain doesn't mind either way. Our welcome dinner and send of brunch are very formal, so I think it'll mix it up. Opinions? |

  Crazy for Limes! |
Save The Date
Key West Bound
   My name is JoAnna and I'm a scrabook-aholic. I went to my local scrabooking mega-awesome store, Archivers, and I finally found a lime slice die cut (it's actually supposed to be watermelon slice but I dont' care :) and had to use it somewhere... so on the STD it goes. I'm not sure if I want to stamp the info on there, or have it in calligraphy but it'll be in silver ink. It looks more yellow than lime, but it's actually called 'hot lime' so it's not going to be so bright. We're going to have DVD STDs as well, and going to highlight moments of me and Adam and then Key West and do a highlight of the places where the events will be. Still haven't decided what song to set it to, but we'll see. I think 'Could you be loved?' by Bob Marley... cause he's a fav of mine and to give it a beach-y feel b/c nothing else will really be to 'beach-like' even though it's on the beach. If that makes sense. |

  All of the damask stuff so far. Tons of green glittler Gs. Damask stampout and stamp from Michaels... Ribbon Rub ons for the DIY Unity Candle Damask Cards... I'm sure I'll use them for something. Photo album for non pro pics        |
Damask-aholic
I'm not seeking treatment.
I know, I know it's like everywhere now. I went to Meijer (it's like a walmart but better) and they had pink damask folders and notebooks for school and i'm like Seriously??? I threw a fit and Adam just laughed. I"m like this wasn't popular when I wanted to do it! (which was last August by the way but b/c we switched locales Iswitched themes)
I'm like grrr... but that still didn't stop me from buying some stuff... OH!! Did you see the stuff at target with damask???? Like little girl back to school stuff with damask and skulls on it i'm like what??? and there are some really nice picture frames that are black and white with damask that are 5.99 if you see some. I've bought a few already. This is some of the stuff that I've got already... but hey now I have 430 more days of more damsask obsession:Þ Michaels has a section with lots of damask items. I got cards and ribbons. Anna Griffin has a corner stamp out and rubber stamp in damask too. Had to pick that up. My grandmother found us a photo album for some non-pro pics and I was at Walmart and found some more damask cards and some rub-ons for the DIY unity candle. Holla!! :D |

The Dress!!!
Casablanca 1923
Now that we've switched locales... New dress and....
I've found it!!   It's gorgeous and so romantic for a sunset beach ceremony in Key West! I'm just so thrilled I had to share. I think I'm going to do a french bustle with the train. I never saw myself in a lace gown but it made my heart pitter patter. It's sweetheart neckline is just enough. And the silk adds just the right amount of softness. The bling will come from accessories. It's new from the Fall 08 line. I'm need to find a lace bolero too. But I would want the lace to match at least a little bit. |

Crystal Tree
Bringing some bling to Key West
I know it's fairly easy to figure out, but I found this video online with good instructions: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6123394511925266753 We're getting some of these hanging chrystals Here And we're also getting some of the crystals in the floral dept at Michaels :) I figure we'll NOT do the manzita branches but something I can find at Michaels b/c the shipping on those things are ridiculous. Spray the branches silver then do a damask wrap around the pot and then hang the crystals. |

Bird Cage Veils
Sometimes, it's fun to laugh...
I found that while looking at birdcage veils online and it was too funny. Look at the dad's face! :) Ok, so I ,have thought long and hard about this. I would want a feather fascinator and the bird cage veil is just what I'm looking for.  |

  fleur de lis tattoo |
Matching Tattoos
We're doing it!
We've decided to get matching fleur de lis tattoos. We're not quite certain on the details, but he might pick a design and i might pick a different one. As long as it's a fleur it's ok. Or we might get the exact same ones. Most likely to be placed on the back somewhere. It's special and meaningful to us. Here is the one I really, really like... minus the flowers. I might just do an outline of the fleur de lis but have it shaded inside with a damask pattern... I say that now, but will likely not do it. It would be a sweet one to see though.
 Adam likes this one:  We have tattoos already. He has a tribal and I have 3- a celtic cross on my lower back, a courage kanji symbol on my right foot, and 4 shooting stars on my left foot. I came up with the idea and he absolutely loves it. Squeee! We'll get it about a month before the wedding. We would never get each other's names... (Johnny Depp has "wino forever" on his arm... I don't think so) but would like to have another reminder with us always (besides our rings). |

Fleur de Lis Items
Fleur and Damask together? Not original but it's us. :)
Adam and I are trying to incorporate the "Fleur de Lis" into as much as we can. As it is a symbol that we hold dear to us. I have found some great fleur de lis jewelry here.
I think i'm going to get the BM the pink compact mirror in addition to the rest of their gifts. |

FOCCUS test
not so terrible
Well, last night anyway. To get married in the Catholic church you have to take this test. Even if only one if you is Catholic (I am, FI is Jewish) But still wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. We took it in the same room so when we were done, we compared answers before we took them to the priest and we had a couple different answers on some key questions, but i think it was b/c we were reading to much into it or just didn't understand the question.
Anyways... my grandparents anniversary was yesterday. 47 years! It's crazy... I'm a sentimental fool. But I love them more than anything (other than FI). If anyone has questions on the test, let me know, and I'll tell you what I thought of it. |

Wood Monogram Letters
Anyone else?
FI and I were at JoAnn's checking out the wood letters and came across a really cool 'G', so we bought the J and the A to go with it and then I spray painted them "Emerald" green... which is more hunter, but it's ok, becuase we're going to layer it onto the damask fabric. I'm also going to paint the damask pattern on to them, so it'll break up color that way too. This is stage one, I'm painting the damask pattern tonight, I'll post pics for that later.
