Wishpot Rocks!



I'd like to introduce you to my new favorite addiction... meet Wishpot. I've only just begun to tap into the fun -and I love it! I am going to use it in so many ways!

You can utilize Wishpot for organizing your blogs, by color or theme, or ideas for gifts for your friends, bridesmaids, parents, and even yourself!

I was also thinking of adding a tab for Holiday Decor and Baking - this way when I think "Oh, I need that for next Christmas!" and then 2 weeks later think... "What was that thing that I was thinking I needed for Christmas???" and remember when it's too late... I know where to keep my thoughts!

Wishpot has a list of Wedding Experts, and I am honored to be among them!!

Take a peek at Wishpot and let me know what you think!

Oh! No! Not That!


I recieved this Pleading Uh Oh! from a bride:

I was wondering if you had any tips for getting a stain out of a satin wedding dress? I was trying mine on and I must have slipped against a piece of furniture and now, of course, there is a mark on my dress. Do you have any tips?

Why yes I do! But first it depends on the stain... is it a smudge or furniture lacquer, food… what color is it?


I think it's furniture lacquer! HELP!

Okay, first try this…

Take some alcohol first blot (blot not rub) the stain… then some WD-40… don’t laugh, really! If it’s an oil based stain WD-40 is a miracle worker!!! It can also be used to help remove a grease spot. Lightly spray the spot with the WD40 and let it sit for a few minutes. Then work in dishwashing liquid and flush with hot water.

Or you could use dishwashing liquid which will help dissolve the grease much like it does when you are using it to wash dishes! Launder the item as usual or dry clean…

And volia, the stain is gone!!!
