Liz & Carlton's Scrapbook...Finally!!

First of all, I've been soooo busy at work I barely have time to do any fun personal stuff, let alone, update this blog with anything of interest. All it would say anyway is...I'm busy, working too much sucks.

On a much lighter note, the long awaited scrapbook for Liz and Carlton is finished!! Yes, it is over 2 years due. But, hey - better late than never, right?!! The original intention was to have it complete in time to bring to Hawaii for the wedding September 2006. At least the intention was good!

So to all that participated in the journey with the bobbles, thank you! Liz and Carlton - I hope the Liz and Carlton bobble heads and accompanying scrapbook will serve as a thoughtful keepsake for years to come. I thought everyone else might enjoy seeing a slideshow of how the book turned out. I've included the verbiage from one of the pages explaining how the bobbles came to be. JT helped me put this into words. Elizabeth and Carlton I hope enjoy it!

Insert from scrapbook page introducing the bobbles:

Bobbles? Why bobbles?
A long, long time ago in a place called Graduate School, Liz and several other classmates became a small group of odd, but inseparable friends. Then through the years, this small but growing group of graduate friends started getting married. Liz, the ring leader in many cases, came up with the idea that we have to do something special for these momentous occasions. As s result,Fred and Michelle saw a sea of Fred and Michelle masks as they walked into their reception, JT and Farrah saw their pictures being taken with life size cutouts of JT (Elvis) and Farrah (Holly Marie Combs/Priscilla Presley), and who knows what will happen at Barb's upcoming wedding!

So, when Liz and Carlton decided to tie the knot, naturally, we had to come up with something just as special for them. Bouncing several ideas, we came up with the idea of bobbles! Yes, we created mini versions of Liz and Carlton! However, we had to do more than just that. So, we sent them (the bobbles) around the country to visit Liz and Carlton's friends to celebrate the upcoming wedding. Along the way, they were silly in Philly, Crazy in KC and a blast with Bruce!

The bobbles created a way to bring everyone there to enjoy Liz and Carlton's special day in Hawaii.
