  Link Love: Winter Reception The holidays are nearly here! And with the cold weather outside, that means there's plenty of time for some DIY projects indoors. If you're in the midst of wedding planning, or you're just starting (congrats!) these projects would look great for a wintry reception. 1. Favor Crackers.  Put a grown-up spin on these childhood favorites by dressing up your party crackers with a little lace and some gold stars. Have your guests pop them at the end of the night as you leave for a photo finish.  ( The Bride's Cafe ) 2. Map Basket.  Lots of out-of-towners? Give them this as a favor or as part of their welcome basket and make it out of maps of your city. It'll be a fun keepsake from your wedding, especially if you fill it with small candies or other goodies.  ( Craftzine.com ) 3. Mango Body Butter.  What better for your bridesmaids during those harsh winter months than some moisture rich body butter that smells like summer? This easy re...

  Real Bride: DIY Details from a Block Island Wedding Janice and J.P. decided to opt for a backyard wedding -- just not in their own backyard. They picked Lynn's Way House, rented on Block Island, Rhode Island for a wedding that felt outdoorsy, but still elegant and chic. "My mom was a big help with the DIY projects as she runs a business called Design & Details," says Janice. "We worked together on all the projects for the wedding." Lucky for us, Janice dished on how to steal her style. Favors & Place Cards.  (below, middle photo) Our place cards were our favors! Being that our wedding was somewhat of a destination, we decided to go with a travel theme and do luggage tags. We purchased blue and green tags for the guys and pink for the girls (we bought them at Michaels Craft Store). We tied each couple's tags together with ribbon. My sister-in-law is a graphic designer, so she printed the inserts for each luggage tag; and my mom bought an antique-loo...

  Are UFO Sightings Still a Mystery? UFO sightings: Are they still a mystery? UFO sightings continue to capture the public's imagination, and while some sightings can be explained, there are still many that remain a mystery. Despite technological advances and increased scientific scrutiny, the true nature and origin of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) continues to elude us. Over the years, there have been countless reports of UFO sightings around the world. Some of these sightings have been dismissed as misidentifications of natural phenomena, aircraft or fraud. However, there are cases that defy conventional explanations and leave experts baffled. One example is the Utsuro-bune sighting, an alleged UFO encounter that took place in Japan during the Edo period. Are there illustrations of the Utsuro-bune based on a real sighting? Despite investigations, there are no clear answers as to the nature of these sightings. Some believe that they were genuine encounters with extraterrestri...

  Como apagar uma conta no Orkut Leave a reply O Orkut já foi a maior rede social do Brasil, mas desde que outras redes começaram a crescer de forma igual, jogos começaram a poluir a página de recados e as comunidades decaíram em seu valor de produção, a rede foi ficando em segundo plano. Assim, muitos usuários decidiram abandonar de vez suas contas, deixando que aquela etapa da vida ficasse mesmo para trás. Se você é um que também já não usa a rede, pode encerrá-la seguindo os passos aqui descritos: Faça login e clique em configurações, no canto superior direto da página: Clique na aba “Gerais”; Clique em “Excluir minha conta do orkut”; Clique em OK e leia atentamente o próximo passo, pois isto é IRREVERSÍVEL; Clique em “Remover orkut”.  

  Aprenda, rápido e fácil! Menu Skip to content Home Como integrar Facebook e Twitter 3 Replies O Twitter vem se consolidando como a maior rede social em uso hoje em dia. Por ser simples e ser integrado a qualquer bom programa, ele acaba suprindo necessidades básicas de comunicação por ser simples e funcional. Já o Facebook, é a maior rede social nos Estados Unidos e a cada vez ganha mais espaço na vida dos usuários brasileiros. Ele também é simples e funcional, mas ainda não é tão popular quanto o bom e velho Orkut. Mas em tempos que deveriam ser de combate, por quê unir a conta do Facebook à conta do Twitter? Simples: todas as suas atualizações no Twitter poderão ser vistas no próprio Facebook em seu mural. Por isso, se você utiliza as duas redes, integre-as! Basta clicar em “aplicativos”, ali na barra de controle lateral e buscar por “Twitter”. Depois é só comprar seu aplicativo com seus créditos e integrá-las! Simples, não?
