</tbody></table><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Easy DIY project for any crafter. These poms can be tiny, huge, or anything in between depending on your project. For garland I recommend 1 1/2 inch circles to 2 inch circles. For kissing balls 5-6 inch circles. The larger the pom the more circles you will need to cut out.</span><br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What makes <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/John8eight">John8eight</a> rosaries and religious jewelry so unique? I start by taking jewelry that is broken, useless, unwanted and rejected. I then take these pieces that society considers trash and use them for the service of the Lord. My rosaries are a reflection of what God does for so many of us. He takes what society considers outcast and rebels- the useless, broken, unwanted and rejected. Then God raises them above kings to glorify His name. -Michelle-</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I could not have explained <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/John8eight">John8eight</a> jewelry any better than Michelle did in her Etsy shop announcement so I have quoted her directly.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">I recently had the pleasure of becoming (virtually) acquainted with Michelle. She applied to become an <a href="http://offbeatetsyweddings.blogspot.com/">Offbeat Weddings Etsy Team</a> member. Unfortunately, the team could not see a wedding connection to her rosaries. I can tell you that I actually cried when the team voted no. Personally I believe that any jewelry that has an emotional connection to an individual is a welcome addition to any wedding. Rosaries are often wrapped around bouquet stems and I have witnessed them being used to bind a wedding couples' hands during the ceremony. </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">I have no idea why Michelle's stories touched me or why I felt so strong of a connection to her. Please take the time to visit her shop. Read each item description. Michelle has a talent that is so rare in this world. She is authentic in her beliefs and her item descriptions are like <i>Chicken soup for the Christian's soul</i>. I guarantee that you will be either inspired or uplifted.</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">To Michelle,</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">I am not a silly woman. I don't cry at the drop of a hat. It is often brought to my attention that I come off terse and too business like. You have (if only for a while) turned me into a wilting, snot wiping, crying mess and I love you for it.</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><br />

The bride winks at the single ladies all bunched together and then tosses her bouquet (or a stand in bouquet) to the seemingly desperate women. Every single woman must want to catch that bouquet for her chance to be married next, right? Doesn't sound very romantic or kind, does it?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">The toss bouquet doesn't have to die. I have a new tradition for you. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">The fortune toss bouquet is actually several (5-7) small bouquets that disperse when thrown into the crowd. Attached to each bouquet is a personalized tag from the wedding couple. Well wishes, fortune cookie sayings, favorite quotes, music lyrics, or personal notes of love are written on the tags along with the couples name and wedding date.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">These bouquets are meant for every guest. It doesn't matter is they are male, female, married, single, nine or ninety. The recipient gets a wonderful gift from the newlyweds. The newlyweds get great action photos from their reception and something to talk about for years.</span><br />

Unfortunately, it can go too far. It reminds me of young boys having their names sewn onto their underwear. I like a more subtle approach to personalization. I have worked with quirky brides that love to be unique. Now every time I see a penguin button or charm I think of Amy, or pastel water colors I think of Annie. The bouquets I create are 100% personalized but you won't find a monogram, you'll find childhood photos tucked into the flower centers or a quote from a favorite poet. I am particularly fond of animal photos. Fido is your furry baby that misses your big day. What better way is there to keep him with you? <br />
<br />
I would love to hear your ideas for unique personal touches.Krissy167 Make Believe'Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16900042074496576925noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783451349964295976.post-86798824264507908362010-10-07T13:12:00.000-07:002010-10-07T13:12:03.057-07:00DIY FacialsA professional facial can be very expensive ranging in cost from $50.00-$300.00. I have done some good Internet searching to find the best DIY at home facials. They come in two types. AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) for dry skin and BHA (beta-hydroxy acid) for oily and acne prone skin. The most common form of AHA is glycolic acid derived from cane sugar. The most common form of BHA is salicylic acid easily found in aspirin. Either of these acids works by sloughing off the upper layers of skin cells to reveal the fresh new skin underneath. If you are planning to do a facial before your wedding (highly recommended) do a dry run a 2 months or more before the wedding to prevent possible pictures of an allergic reaction. If the peel goes well repeat one-two times a week for six weeks prior to your wedding. Remember to moisturize after doing any peel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Here are a list of DIY recipes for facial peels:</span></u><br />
<br />
<strong>Fruit juice peel:</strong><br />
For combination skin<br />
<br />
1/4 Cup lemon juice<br />
1/4 Cup Apple juice<br />
1/4 Cup Grape juice<br />
1/4 Cup fine grain cane sugar<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Apply to face for 10 minutes. Rinse with water.<br />
This is a peel that can be done often but keep in mind that your skin will adjust to the acids and the peel will stop working after a while.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Apple cider vinegar:</strong><br />
Super mild for all skin types<br />
<br />
1/2 Cup apple cider vinegar<br />
<br />
Dip cotton ball into vinegar and apply to face in circular motions. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with water. This can be your daily cleanser as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Aspirin (BHA Salicylic) peel</strong><br />
For acne prone skin<br />
<br />
3 tablet aspirins<br />
1 lemon<br />
<br />
Place the aspirin in a shallow bowl or lipped plate and drip lemon juice onto the tablets. About a teaspoon of juice. The tablets will start to dissolve or soften. Press on the tablets. Add more lemon juice if still hard after 1 minute. When they turn into mush apply the paste to your face and let it dry for about 15 minutes. Rinse with water. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Sweet mask (AHA Glycolic):</strong><br />
For dry skin<br />
<br />
1/2 Cup plain greek yogurt<br />
1/4 Cup fine grain cane sugar<br />
<br />
Mix the two until you have a grainy yet creamy mask. Apply to the face for 10 minutes. Rinse with water.Krissy167 Make Believe'Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16900042074496576925noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-783451349964295976.post-50295770394110688232010-09-20T15:02:00.000-07:002010-09-20T15:35:23.083-07:00Fall wedding food favors.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I say both of these styles are great if they reflect the bride. I can't imagine my uber conservative friends rocking fuchsia at their wedding. Just not going to happen. They love the crisp whites and soft pinks. I'm cool with that. My not so conservative friends (of which I only have a few) would not only rock the hot pink but would throw in a matching pink stripe in their otherwise blond hair. LOVE IT!</span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7u8mq17zbOI/TJQjvMjFAAI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZLGvyev8v-Y/s1600/P7251236.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" qx="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7u8mq17zbOI/TJQjvMjFAAI/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZLGvyev8v-Y/s200/P7251236.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am consistently amazed at how many people feel that they must fit into the "typical" box. Do what you are! Do not apologize for loving anything or anyone.</span></div>Krissy167 Make Believe'Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16900042074496576925noreply@blogger.com0
