Will You Be In Our Wedding?
Daniel and I asked our friends to be bridesmaids and groomsmen last week. We wanted to be original and have some fun with how we asked them so we dicided to invite everyone on a top-secret adventure.
--"Thursday 7:00, come alone and ware warm clothes!"
We meet at my house, ate dinner and then loaded into the Winnebago and drove to the docks in Newport. Our friend Ethan offered us his Duffy boat and Captain skills for the night (Thanks Eth-man)!
After we all settled-in, Dan and I asked everyone to be in our wedding and handed little gifts to each friend. Daniel made custom beer mugs with a hilarious picture on them. And I made bridesmaid boxes!
I found pine boxes at Michaels; painted them and filled them with pictures, my favorite tea, chocolate kisses and a personal letter. I was so jazzed that Papyrus had cute little bridal cards that fit inside each box.
Dan and I made these beer mugs for his groomsmen. We sent a photoshopped picture to Mouse Graphics and they made us special stickers that we placed on each mug -- you can even put them in the dishwasher! Too cool.

Hilarious: Trader Joe's Song
I love TJ's! Danny and I get our groceries here every other week! I am obsessed with their Castello Cheese, Sweet Potato Gnocchi and Vanilla Cream Yogurt.
This is too funny. A man named Carl wrote a song about Trader Joe's, it's hil-ar-i-ous!

Butter London Nail Lacquer
Yummy Mummy and Toff
Shanny got me some beautiful Butter London nail lacquers. I just love these colors! They are so pretty and the best thing it that Butter London is a 3 free company-- meaning no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. "They believe in color, not carcinogens" I like that!
Yummy Mummy: Our ‘magic’ lacquer. This medium beige colour is simply stunning on EVERY skin colour. If you can’t decide on a lacquer, then we will for you. It’s this.
Toff: A darker, dustier, brownish variation on a rose pink. Stop to smell them. The roses, not the toffs.
