It is amazing to me how much of my free time was consumed with wedding planning. But the truth is now that it is over I really do miss the planning aspect. Lately, I've been complaining that I need a new hobby other than wedding planning. If it weren't for money I'd make Gregg celebrate our sixth month anniversary with another big blow out celebration. I did always want to plan a summer wedding. ***Seriously, as I just typed that I had an epiphany...I should use this site to "plan" my ideal summer wedding.*** Oh the ideas have already started. Look forward to those upcoming posts.<div><br /></div><div>As for the real reason I started to write this post...I found this hilarious post on <a href="http://www.moggit.com/2010/03/oh-no-you-didnt.html">moggit</a>.

Originally, I was going to go with the whole initial thing, but I'm over it and want something different. I always played with dolls as a child. I know most little girls did, but I did with an obsession. I don't know how or when I acquired these two paper doll books from the Smithsonian, but I have them and I love the dresses in them. One of the books has different wedding gowns throughout the different decades. A favorite dress of mine has always been the wedding dress from 1970's. So here's my thought...Mount the paper dolls on foam core with the dress and tux attached add a little tab on the bottom to be pushed into the cake and voula cake topper. I need you thoughts on this... <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm even thinking of trying to darken the groom's hair with a marker or paint. I have a back up doll I can try on before I try it on the real thing. Fingers crossed.</div>Carrie G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17461237254334534573noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302599465244424858.post-35107749513834897632009-06-28T11:25:00.000-07:002009-06-28T11:31:18.711-07:00If I was a wealthy girl...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFeej9vQOmcsqW5U7p6fUImODJ6ZjYQ-F9iJ5-cITXkG_jZoEKaRxE1RCoC_waDh0Z4OdSIQdMWk_kyFGTHd4r5xWgZYO-QNHaLRN3gj1SoiBOzK5x9qUyM9y3yfA29aNchU2EQCO4iuo/s1600-h/il_430xN.74100557.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFeej9vQOmcsqW5U7p6fUImODJ6ZjYQ-F9iJ5-cITXkG_jZoEKaRxE1RCoC_waDh0Z4OdSIQdMWk_kyFGTHd4r5xWgZYO-QNHaLRN3gj1SoiBOzK5x9qUyM9y3yfA29aNchU2EQCO4iuo/s320/il_430xN.74100557.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352447787517172290" /></a><br />Maybe, just maybe, if I'm feeling up to it, I might attempt to try to make these beautiful, glorious, marvelous <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26054530">cake toppers</a>.Carrie G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17461237254334534573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302599465244424858.post-87287895354492213622009-06-28T11:12:00.000-07:002009-06-28T11:15:31.594-07:00Fun RSVP IdeaMy mom found a fun idea for RSVPs...Have a place on the RSVP card for the guest to write a song title they would like to hear at the reception.
