This school was a wonderful stepping stone for my kids, they score higher than most of their schoolmates, on all the necessary Public school given tests, and I attribute it all to their wonderful foundation of learning.

Calling all DIY, budget, and techno-savvy brides, have we found the site for you! What if I told you that you could get a professionally edited movie from the amateur video footage taken at your wedding at a price that won’t break the bank? Or that you could create an e-save the date and have it hosted in a private gallery? Looking for an affordable wedding slideshow to show at your reception?, This is the place! Ariane will show you how can you easily capture photo video clips taken by your guests at your wedding. All this and more is available at Storymix Media.
One of the interesting things about Storymix Media is that they create products specifically tailored to help make your wedding day easier and more memorable. Creative Director Ariane Fisher says, “After speaking with a lot brides and reading through many bridal forums, we realized that our expertise in creating custom, personalized media products that tell a story would be of real value to today’s brides.” So, they created a site focused just on wedding couples. Save Time, Effort, Money, and Enjoy Your Day for a Lifetime!
Here are some of my favorite ways Storymix Media will make your wedding just a little bit better.
Guest Uploads – for only $9.99 you can get all the photos and videos from your guests in hi-resolution files. It’s easy (just send your guests a link) there is no sign-up required. Great as a compliment or alternative to a pro photographer or videographer.
e-Save the Date - save some money and trees using a private online gallery to send a personalized slideshow. Just imagine how happy your out of town relatives will be to see you and your beloved, if they are unable to attend.
Slideshows - these are great to tell your love story, but rather than spending hours struggling to make one yourself or hope your cousin will do it, pick from 8 professional themes and know it’s done right.
Custom Movies – if a pro videographer isn’t in your plans, then you can either rent Flip cameras or use the footage from a camcorder. The best part is you’ll have a 15-20 minute highlight video of the best moments, without the scenes of the camera sitting on a table forgotten to be turned off.

What’s more personal than a custom handpainted gift item? I have found a very cool artist who can custom make your glassware and a whole lot more. Are you constantly looking for “just the right” gift? Do you have a loved one who has one of those names that you NEVER find on anything? What about something really different for your friend that has everything?
Check this site…http://www.aressa.etsy.com The painted house and more. This talented artist will make anything look more beautiful by hand painting or putting her talent to use on an ordinary hanger. Yes, you can buy “painted” glassware in most department stores, but, they are not custom designed, the colors aren’t your 1st choice, they don’t have your name painted on them, and they simply don’t say that you put very much thought into your choice.
If you are looking for a really interesting and different idea for a gift for your wedding attendents, your parents, or just someone you love, I say go ahead and put it on glass!
I am constantly amazed by how incredibly creative some people are, and how that creativity helps others to have something that they will cherish for a lifetime.

www.bellejardine.comwill help you to find your passion, and have a wonderful keepsake that you can frame, and look at for a lifetime. Why have little placecards that people just pick up and then throw in the garbage? A beautiful, personalized seating scroll will be a remembrance forever.
Here’s hoping you have a wholesale flower filled day!
