gerrie Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Two weeks ago I didn't think I'd ever be ready, but I fianlly have everything done, with 3 whole days to spare, talk about waiting till the last minute to get things done :rolleyes2 . 45 prs of flip flop M&P soaps for favors, and unity candle is finished. Other daughter who got married needed 120 pr of flip flops, so this was an easy one. I used every last bit of soap thatr was in my pyrex cup when I was done and ended up with the multi layered soap, which I really like. Wish I had done them all like that, but only ended up with 3 of them:laugh2: I did a lot of different bright colors, but they are packed away, only these "problem" soaps are left so that's all I could take a picture of. Unity candle turned out pretty good, wish the decal wasn't so noticable, but I don't think there's much you can do about that, besides trimming much closer to the printing than I did. Leaving Saturday for Miami, sailing out on Sunday, and DD will be married on Grand Cayman 7 mile beach the 22nd. Wish us luck getting to Miami, never know this time of year what Mother Nature may throw our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heirloomoriginals Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Everything looksk so nice! A daughter is lucky to have a mom who is willing to work so hard like you did (and a mom is lucky to have a daughter who appreciates what she has to offer). My mom made my wedding gown and it was such a special dress.STeph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comfortscents Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 perfect! got a question? Do you print out the decal? I'm just starting to make my own waterslide decals so I was wondering if this was something you make the master and then just copy it onto decal paper? I'm totally impressed with it.

gerrie Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks everyone for the kind comments. If it was my unity candle I wouldn't have used the swarvoski (sp?) crystals like that, but they are on DD's wedding dress so she wanted to tie it all together. Plus I was surprised at the price of those little darn crystals, but hey, it's her wedding and it's what she wanted. Seems since she got the dress everything has to be "bling" now, if it doesn't have "bling" it's just not going to work comforscents, I use Avery.com for everything, so I just inserted the words that DD wanted and printed it out onto the decal paper.

sharyl55 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Gerrie, the unity candle is fantastic. Every girl deserves a little bling on her special day. And those flip flops are just too cute. Hope you have a safe trip to Miami. Once you get on that boat you are on easy street. To late to do anything else so just relax and enjoy the trip.
