this gallery is so fab but right now i'm about to add the most awesome package ever as megstar nailed all our likes/wants perfectly
a bit of background me & my oh met through a love of motorsport mostly btcc (british touring car championship) our wedding colours are that of our fav racing team & we are having lots of other hints to our love of it through the day (tables named after tracks and car shape chocolate favours)
right now on to pics
there was this clay decorated tin that has helpful bits in for the wedding day (little sewing kit, mints safety pins etc) but megstar said has duel purpose cos we can take it when we next trackside watching racing

a ring cushion for my daughter 

a cravat for my oh 

i saved the best til last though this last item blew me away so much its beyond perfect & i think it may be my alltime favourite ever swap item i have recieved
megstar made us a personalised cake topper to suit we are both wearing chevy t shirts over our wedding gear plus there is the chequered flag & of course winners champagne & some car tyres, the base is a copy of the chevy pattern off the tops (it did come unglued in post but thankfully didnt break & i can sort it no trouble) we can not wait to have this proudly on our wedding cake & its something special we can keep forever too

That's an awesome cake topper!!

[pinkmichk]

it most certainly is  its all glued back now i cant stop looking at it cos of how full of awesome it is  we are keeping it secret from most our guests so they get suprise on the day only people who have seen it our cake maker (also a friend) & bridesmaids thats it. but we have said after we will be showing it to the race team too (btcc is quite open so you can meet drivers at pit walks etc)

OK! I'm offically done being a slacker. After aruging with my post office, I have RECEIVED my package from Ms.JamieLeigh!!!!

So, first I asked for a memory box... and she found my engagement pics and put THIS TOGETHER!!!



and inside were some delicous smelling relaxing soaps that had our name, wedding date, and intials on them :-)



and a beautiful monogramed vase for me to put my flowers in at the reception (and keep forever and ever afterwards)


(boo, it's hard to see... but it's awesome. Believe me :-P)

and last but by no means least... a shadow box with the lyrics to our first song Home by Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros :-)




SQUEE!!! THANKS JAMIE!

[MsJamieLeigh]

I'm glad you love it!! It was so fun crafting for you WnaBKaet !! =)

Awh, it looks like the lyrics got squished.  It was suppose to look scroll-like coming down, and it did before it left the post office. lol.
