Texas-Dallas and Ft. Worth

A few WR things: RSVPs, DIY/Bio & Did you get E-Pics in Ellum on Sat?

Ok - getting RSVPs back is R-E-A-L-L-Y exciting :)
I added the fancy RSVP ticker - now I have to remember to keep up with it...

My mom and I glittered yard flamingos yesterday... seriously.  Pics in bio (under DIY) - I think they are going to be awesome :)
Still need to do 4 more, then do all the beaks in black glitter...

Did some one get their E-pics taken in Deep Ellum on Saturday evening?  Specifically on Elm Street, wearing sparkly gold shoes?  If so, I totally walked by you (between you and your photog actually) on my way into my weekend job... After I passed, I considered going back and asking if you were a Knottie - but had to get to work!

Sorry to combine things that are kind of all over the place, but didn't think any were big enough to warrant individual posts.

    The flamingos are awesome!  My brother and sister-in-law had flamingos all over their rehearsal dinner, but I really can't remember why LOL.  Really cute idea with the glitter though.  Don't want to know how much glitter and glue it took you to do those! :)

    Thanks :)

    It actually doesn't take NEARLY as much glitter as you would think!  We put down parchment paper and do all the glittering over that, then pour all the extra back in the container...
    Ahh... Tacky Glue and glitter - both get everywhere :)

    Sadly, you missed us in Deep Ellum by 2 days :(  Boo!

    Very cute Flamingos!!!


    I think the same thing when I go to a wedding or see pics being taken. In my mind I think "is this a knottie?" I guess most of the time it would be no.

    I KNOW.  I have to remind myself that not EVERYONE from DFW that is getting married is on here... (heck, I've personally known several brides that didn't/don't get on here at all)

    Thanks, y'all!

    Seriously - the glittering is pretty darn easy!  We put down a copy paper box lid to catch all the over-sprinkle (with parchment or wax paper in the bottom), spread Tacky Glue on a section, and sprinkle glitter - then repeat on the next section (can't do the whole thing at once or the glue starts to dry a little).  Every once in a while we pick up the paper, and bend it to pour the excess glitter back into the container. 
    We gave the frames and candle holders a quick spray with a clear coat to help prevent excessive glitter shedding.

    I think it "classes up" the flamingos  - or at a minimum, makes them more festive :)

    HA!  Thanks.
    It definitely isn't "storybook" but I wouldn't have it any other way :)
