Ring bowls: I decided to make little pottery bowls for my two RB's to carry instead of a pillow. I have been wanting to make some pottery and think this will be nice keepsake. Just a silly idea I had!

Oh wow, cute! I would love to see them when you're finished!

Angela, how are you making DIY photobooth frames??? Very interesting!!!!

Well I haven't really thought of how I'm going to decorate them, but i'm going to purchase the frames and maybe put a sticker (you can make labels on TONS of sites) with something along the lines of 'Thank you for making my wedding picture perfect'. I'm think of putting then sticker on the base...I don't want to put it on the front and hide the actual pictures...unless i get one longer than the actual photobooth strip. Just a thought....

I'm still pricing out the frames but this is what they look like:

We personalized the 'spys' and put a thank you to guests on the back and put them in these frames: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30151035/
