While cruising around on the Internet I came across a great blog "A Bayside Affair" with lots of wedding ideas.

The first thing that caught my attention was the June 27th entry about handmade soaps as wedding favors.

Quoting from "A Bayside Affair":

"Etsy soap seller Dennis Anderson will put together a set of 50 custom scented handmade soaps with either

your own label or he can even design one for you for ?get this? $65!"

Besure to go and check out "A Bayside Affair" and "Dennis Anderson's soaps".

I'm going to try my best to make "Wedding Ideas" a weekly addition to the blog and hopefully,

I will post it each Monday. Enjoy!

Ralph, the head guy, and some of his cactus.

Yep, that's me and a few of my cactus.

The kids got to choose and plant the cactus for their container garden.

Then you choose your gravel, special rocks, and a creature.

And there's his very own Desert Container Garden.

More fixing going on.

And more...

And happy faces all around.

??????????????????????????????????????????

This past weekend I had the wonderful opportuntiy to be part of Elsong Gardens'

Drop-in Children's Activities "Desert Container Gardens".

Kids, plants, dirt, gravel, clay pots, cactus...what more could you ask?

It looks like the adults had fun too!

Lillian selected Rosedown Plantation in St.Francisville, Louisiana for her engagement portrait session.

I think you can tell that we had a great time.
