hmmm, I love crap dip! Here is my favorite recipe to use, although I always add extra Old Bay and I love to serve in a bread bowl Ingredients 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 1/4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1 pinch garlic salt 1 tablespoon milk 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated 1/2 lb crabmeat Directions In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and garlic salt until smooth. Add enough milk to make mixture creamy. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the grated cheese. Fold crab meat into cream cheese mixture. Pour into greased 1-quart casserole. Top with remaining cheese and paprika. Bake at 325 degrees until mixture is bubbly and browned on top, about 30 minutes.

that is awesome, Jamie, I love how you came up with the excuse "scrapbook pics" I take a lot of pictures too, everyone usually wonders why. Can't wait to see pics!

we always decorate the day after Thanksgiving. I am sad, we are not decorating anything this year. With the wedding and traveling for the holidays we just figured it would be easier.

please do a search for this, all of this has been talked about so much http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t23653 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t17706

Hey Betsy, welcome back, congrats on the move

wow, I am so late on this when the forum was having issues, I couldn't get to this thread. Alyssa, your pictures are beautiful. I would have to say my favorites are the one of you two on the rocks, the hammock picture- I love it, you two look insanely happy, the first dance picture with both of your eyes closed, and I really love the one of you laying flat on the beach by yourself with your flowers at your feet .... wow you have so many great pictures!! What did you say to your guests to get them to where all white/tan shades, did you put that on your site or send it out with the invites?

I know a lot of girls get these from customized girl, but for you diyers, this is a fun project. I am making mine now, and they are actually pretty simple. Here is an example of what they look like, or write whatever you'd like You Need: Hotfix flatback rhinestones: 10ss but you can go smaller for sure Mylar Paper Wax-tipped rhinestone picker-upper Undies of your choice 1. In MICROSOFT WORD go to "Insert----> WordArt" and use WordArt to type out your text. Use one text box for your soon-to-be last name "Mrs.XXX" and then use a separate text box for your "EST. DATE" if you choose to include this. 2. Use the Word draw tools panel and select 'Rotate or Flip' then choose 'Flip Horizontal.' This will flip your text so it looks like you are looking at a mirror image of the text. Next adjust your text for the font you want (Lucida Handwriting or Calligraphy are nice) and font size. Print them out and through trial and error see what will fit well on the undies you choose. Then print and cut out your text. 3. Next, tape your text down onto your work surface and tape it so it stays in place. 4. Then take your MYLAR paper--peel off the sticky sheet away from the white backing and place the sticky sheet on top of your text--sticky side UP. Tape it down to the table, too, so it stays put. 5. Then just place your rhinestones onto the sticky mylar paper over your text (trace it with the rhinestones). Make sure your rhinestones are SHINY SIDE DOWN and glue side up. You should be looking at the glue side (when you flip it and put on your undies the shiny side will be up). 6. After you're done with the design, place it shiny side up onto your undies. Take a thin cloth or even thin t-shirt and place it over the design/mylar paper. On high heat and NO STEAM place the iron over the design (and cloth) and put pressure. This is melting the glue! Do this until you feel the stones are setting. Then flip the undies over and apply the iron to the back of the undies too. This is IMPORTANT in making sure they set!

Have a great wedding day!
