Profile For Thing2of2 -

Just moved to a small town and bought a house that's over 100 years old with Thing1of2 (my SO). I'm looking for ways to improve the house without breaking the bank! I also love recycling where I can and being "crafty".  This site is great!

RE: Having a Large Wedding on a Budget
Here's a pic with flowers in metal windowboxes, but it gives you the idea of the drywall mud pan with flowers. I think the mud pans are much nicer! ... View related article.

RE: Having a Large Wedding on a Budget
Here we go, this is what I was looking for; a "drywall mud pan". Find them at any hardware stone - this one is from Home Depot. They are about 12-13" long and under 12USD. Fill 'em with what ever you want and they are nice and shiny, or you can get them in black, or buy the even cheaper plastic ones and spray paint them any colour you want. Fill with flowers and glasses and candles and voila! I saw this on a tv show when they decorated a house for christmas...it looked amazingly high end! Sorry I can't find an actual finished pic. :( ... View related article.

RE: Having a Large Wedding on a Budget
OMG just found this too! USE JELLO! I'm serious, from Rachel Ray:

"We've seen it jiggle for decades finally, Jell-O gets to play a bigger role at the dinner table. Evette Rios, one of Rach's go-to design gurus, elevates the translucent dessert to art with this nifty trick: Combine six boxes of Jell-O powder with half the amount of water specified, chill the mix in a glass vase for half an hour, then just push flowers into the semi-firm gelatin. Design your own in any color!"

RE: Having a Large Wedding on a Budget
Just saw this: you could also have some really neat vintage containers/bowls and fill them with black and white photos of the couple/family/friends...guest would love to look through them as they sit at the tables! Don't forget to write on the back what's/who's in the photo! ... View related article.

RE: Weddings Are Too Expensive for Just One Day
I completely agree! I have told my BF that when it's time to buy me a ring, I also want a CZ. He's on the same page as well. :) ... View related article.
