Today marks 83 days left! Thanks to my wonderful mom, the centerpieces are just about finished. I’ve finished cutting, scoring, and trimming all of my custom invitation pocketfolds… now to print the invites on the actual cardstock and assemble. First dress fitting next Saturday… eek!!! Bye for now – going to do some P90X :)

I’ve been sitting on this for a while…. like 3+ months. Oops. I finally decided to get cracking on it, and have finished everything except photos of important contacts. I will get that done over the weekend (aka tomorrow) and distribute so I can still call it the “April Issue.” Hahahaha!

Yee-haw!http://www.fionaandjohn.com/2010/04/11/winner-yee-haw/ http://www.fionaandjohn.com/2010/04/11/winner-yee-haw/#comments Mon, 12 Apr 2010 07:40:14 +0000 fiona http://www.fionaandjohn.com/?p=476 I’ve entered a lot of contests, but always came back empty handed. I expected the same result when I entered a contest I found in my Inbox. For one, I usually don’t enter contests that require more than completing a form (I had to write a 500 word essay). And two, it was on such short notice. John told me, “You should just write the story we have posted on our website.” *forehead-slap* Duh! That was our story, and so I used it. Several weeks later, I find an e-mail with the Subject “Congratulations…” Usually, those are SPAMERS from London saying I won $3 million US dollars and I need to provide my name, social security number, bank account, home address, DNA, and first-born child. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it wasn’t SPAM, but a real congratulations e-mail! I had won a full Wedding Coordination package from Savvy Coordination! We met with Jennifer a few weeks ago, and are totally excited and grateful to have her help.

Thankfully, the FI worked his magic and fixed it. If you have sent me a song request, and do not see your song(s) on the list, please resend. Apologies.

I told her about my “star” inspiration and sent her a picture. She wrote a post about it! You can read it here.

Sat down and had a good sister bonding. She got all my color ideas and bought them back down to Earth, and made it look good. Yay, for the artist! Mommy got in on the action too. We made a sample centerpiece, and added the turquoise organza overlay I bought off eBay. I think it looks pretty good. Need to buy a spool of crystal beads to finish it off.

Btw, Happy Girl’s Day!!

It arrived on Friday!!  The girl said it was new, never worn.  Pfft!!  Mommy saw the dirt mark at the bottom of the hem (that was hemmed up again), and some French bustle sets.  Gowns DO NOT come with bustles already set.  She must’ve had it altered.  It is smaller than the one I tried on at the store, so I suspect she had it taken in as well.  Nothing a little diet and exercise can’t fix.  Woo hoo!!  Real motivation now.  x_x
