The links Ariel gave and your photos too are giving me all kinds of ideas now. Plus I feel like I can do it myself now too! I'm hoping when I get home today the mail man will have dropped off my copy of Offbeat Bride where (I should have known) I'm sure Ariel goes into more detail about it! But thank you both for the info! Love all the pictures! Those were really cool elly. The links Ariel gave and your photos too are giving me all kinds of ideas now.
