carpal tunnel tulle

Hi from Weddingland! I'm off topic today because I'm up to my eyebrows in tulle. I learned something new this week. Fluffing bows can irritate carpal tunnel syndrome. Never knew that. Also do not possess the fluffing bow skill set, so I'm hoping people won't look at the satin and tulle suckers too closely.

I loved Mary's post about packing. I do panic packing the night before a big trip, but I'm going to try Toni's method this year. She actually makes a spreadsheet with every event she will attend and plans her clothing, purse, shoes and jewelry for each appointment. What makes this trip a little more difficult is that it's to San Francisco. How can a girl look summery when she's wishing she had her knee socks!

Oops I hear my bows calling. I'll leave you with a couple of pics. The first features three generations of brides wearing dresses made of toilet paper. Yes, that's my mom, my daughter and me.
