It's like Xmas in July! (PIP)

I'm like a school girl today!!  lol   Today I've gotten almost everything I've ordered online! (This is what happens when your car is in the shop for a month and can't leave the house - online shopping baby!)  

Every time the door bell rings I run downstairs with excitement!  I'm such a fool!

This week we got our first gift from the registery from a colleague in San Francisco. I'm not opening it until our BS, but it's fun to open boxes!!

Today I received the brideschicks tote bag I'm giving them as a gift, their initial crystal charm for their bouquet, the crystal trim for the cake and the unity sand ceremony frame!  WOO HOO!  (updated my bio with the pics!)

Thanks ladies!

I'm so silly, I should have put the vendors on my bio. I will do that next.

The initial charms I found on Amazon for $2.99 each. Here's the link to Purely Charming.

The frame I also got from Amazon, but I think Target might have it as well. It's from Umbra and it's called Ether. The color is Espresso.  Here's the Amazon link

In my planning bio there is a pic of what it should look like finished. I searched for it and found it for like $50-70 depending on the seller. The frame with shipping and all was $30.

HTH

Woop woop! Congrats on your goodies! That sand frame is an amazing idea. But how does it work? You pour the sand into the frame instead of a big vase at the ceremony?

I love getting stuff in the mail! I bought a ton of stuff last week so i've randomly been getting items every other day!

@ Marian - Yep! That's right.. the frame has a slide out piece on the side. It comes with 4 glass panes (2 outter and 2 inner). I removed the 2 inner ones, so now it's just a box with glass panels in both sides. I'm playing around with a few ideas on how to adhere our pic to the outside of the frame. I'm thinking the outside only because I may want to change from engagement pic to married pic. If it's in the inside, I'd have to dump out the sand to change it. 

But anyway, yeah, I have two glass cylinders that I'll fill up with sand in my two colors, tan and sage and fill this puppy up!  I may do a trial run to see just how much sand it will take.

Check out my bio under ceremony/reception details, there's a pic of how it should look finished.

@ Janet - Thanks!! I really like them, they look better in person than in my pic. They are really for dog/cat collars, but no one has to know, right?! lol  Sometimes we gotta get creative!  I think they will look really cute!
