I purchased my dress on January 1st, 2010 and picked it up sometime in the beginning [or the middle] of February. Since the day, my beloved dress found its' way to my old bedroom in Mendon, I've been waiting [quite patiently -- I may add] to try it on...
And today, finally, I'm happy, ecstatic, thrilled and delighted to say that my dress found its' way outside the dress bag and onto me!
Now, I wish I could post pictures -- I really do -- but I cannot. So, let me just say that it's as beautiful as I remember it to be. =) I couldn't be more excited!
However, it's not all good news.
I'm sad to announce that my gorgeous, detailed, perfect, elegant and expensive gown has a flaw... =(
The hook on the back of the dress is broken!
And now I have to call and talk to them and blah, blah, blah.
Annoying!

Oh, Martha... So Clever
From Martha: In the whirl of activities following the ceremony, the bouquets of the bride and bridesmaids will undoubtedly have to be set aside. This clever idea can help keep flowers from getting crushed or wilted while you and your bridesmaids are busy elsewhere. Just fill hurricane vases partway with water and trim with single ribbons (affixed using double-sided tape) that hold the names of the flowers' owners.
Also from Martha: Keep bridesmaids' dresses from blowing in the breeze at an outdoor wedding with these handy weights (available at sewing-supply stores). Simply slip the metal buttons inside the hem, and stitch into place. How smart!

I'm back...
...from scrapbooking!
I'll take pictures of my engagement album and post them tomorrow. =)
We're meeting with our DJ two weeks from today to sign a contract and discuss details. Which makes the next thing we have to do [in the near future -- according to Christina's] is figure out: transportation!
-----
The next topic on the agenda tonight is the fact that The Knot! says I have 366 things left on my to-do list. Which seems like a little much...
But their immediate goals for me seem a little more broad:
1. Get organized! Start a notebook/file folder to house all your wedding-planning paperwork in one place, browse our Wedding Planning Basics area, and download The Knot Toolbar for easy access to all your online planning tools.
2. Let friends and family know you're engaged. Send them a just-engaged video Ecard and submit an engagement announcement to the local newspaper. You may also want to have your engagement photos taken in time for this.
3. Start taking better care of yourself. Get in wedding day shape by eating right, joining a gym, and/or even hiring a personal trainer.
Let me tell you...
1. I'm all over the notebook/file folder and carry it everywhere I go.
2. I love "letting" family and friends know we're engaged -- and if the Ecards were cuter I'd be all over that, too. But once we have engagement photos taken [yes, we still need a place!] we'll announce it to everyone!
3. I mean, I've given up drinking Coke... for now, that will have to do!
Now, let me leave you with this:
So cute!

One more craft!
I admit, blogging is a major obsession of mine but I must reveal a secret...
I haven't been blogging much because another obsession that I have has taken over my days for the past week.
Scrapbooking.
Yes. Currently, I'm in the White Mountains -- at a resort called Purity Springs... along with 42 other fellow scrapbookers. We've taken over the resort and other than the mandatory "group photo" it's been a rather relaxing, successful and time-consuming weekend [so far].
Which is why, I've been slacking on the blog. I had to get ready for this weekend -- and all my preparation has taken over my ability to stare at the pages of The Knot! all day and night long.
I have finished a book and figured I'd sneak in an update now since I have internet but no cell service to call Sean.
After lunch, I'm going to start our engagement book. And if the pages turn out well then I'll take pictures of each page and upload them to the blog. =)
Happy Scrapping! =)
P.S.: Oh, and regular blog updates should resume on Monday.
