i just have to add how great the lighthouse turned out! VERY unique and cute and they'll look so good on the tables with the view of the water in the background!!! how long did it take you and how many more to go?!! can you put a light in the top? (that sounds dorky but i know model shops sell little stand alone lights.) i just love them though.

Thanks Bluesash!!!
They took forever to paint- about 3 hours

My fh bet me 50 bucks that I wouldn't use them for the wedding since they were so much work

It will be worth it!
Oh, and I plan to put glow sticks in them to make them glow and I only have to find ten more and paint 14

Neenie- you are welcome to join the painting party anytime. Your FH doesn't have to know I live 6 blocks to the beach, right

what they don't know can't hurt them

plus, he got to go to new orleans last month... where's MY vacation!!!

hahaha mike makes fun of me enough for talking about a GTG w/ the local girls... it would be SOOOO funny to tell him i was flying out to CA to hang out with one of my 05ers. hahaha now i reaaaaally want to tell him that, just to see the expression on his face!

OMG... i just got this image of all of our guys sitting there like 'where'd they go'... when we all finally get upset w/ all the teasing they do about liw, and runaway together hahahaha

we should make up a site for them, like a support group...

'FHs helping FHs cope w/ losing FWs to LIW'

or LIWwidows.com

not like theyre allowed to have any computer time, anyway

Re: I made my sample centerpiece...with pics!

They are so cute!!! You are going to have fights at your wedding about who is going to take the centerpiece home. You better play a game or something to give out the centerpiece other wise there will be fights over something that beautiful.
