IDEAS IDEAS

So, last night while we watched Hawaii 5-0 (my lover's favorite show), and he doodled ideas for a woods camp him and his father daydreamed up, I flicked through photos.

On theknot.com (the site cutie roomie Jess signed me up for), they have an endless supply of information, including a section called DIY Ideas.

I just clicked on the full sized photos, each with a description of what was done, and began clicking next....next....next.... through all the ideas.

Some of them were RIDICULOUS. Alot of them involved aspects of wedding and reception I hadn't intended on using, such as 'escort cards', ' place cards' and 'table naming'.

Joel’s sister carried a small bouquet that Emily had made out of fabric and buttons.
The ring bearer carried a handmade pillow of green moss. Ann attached a photo of the groom’s late grandparents to the pillow, in their memory.
Jen made all the boutonnieres out of fabric and ribbon. She’s super-crafty, so it took her only about two and a half hours total.
Luckily for you guys, I'm not going with any of these ideas. Perhaps lucky for Miss Peggy too, because she won't have to sit and help me make them!


But of the thousands of ideas I went through, I got a couple potential good ones out of it.
All it takes is one sort of neat idea, to create a better, more you idea in your head.
