Did you take or have you planned a special kiss for your wedding photos? We love this one!
My husband and I had a friend that restored an old Rolls Royce and he drove us from our wedding to the reception (thanks Carl!) and if my husband would have seen this picture, he would have tried it. He did jump out in traffic at a stop light with a bottle of champagne and went to some of the wedding party cars behind us to give them a swig.

To easily make heart shaped cupcakes, all you need to do is put a marble between each liner and the cupcake tin. Don’t have any marbles handy, use 1/2″ balls of aluminum foil instead. How fun!

How fun is this? A creative, convenient way to serve and chill wine, beer or soda at your next outdoor party involves a wine gutter and a picnic table. This picnic table was designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects and features a built-in galvanized steel gutter down the center of the table. Fill with ice and you have a bona fide, handy-dandy drink cooler at your fingertips!

My son would have loved this Sci-Fi Rocket Fueled Jet Pack when he was little. He loved superheroes, wearing masks and capes. I’m sure if he had his own jet pack, it would have been worn every day. DIY Tutorial at DoodleCraft.

![Rice Crispie Ice Cream Cones Rice Crispie Ice Cream Cones](http://www.announcingit.com/invitations-blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Rice-Crispie-Ice-Cream-Cones.jpg)
Here’s a cute idea for treats or for a child’s birthday party. The ice cream cones are teeny, tiny – about 1-.75″ tall (Joy Kids Cones from Walmart).
A cookie scoop or small melon baller is used to form the ice cream from the Rice Krispie mixture, then drizzled with melted almond bark or candy melts. To make the cones more stable, you can put some candy in the cone, then use the candy melts to “glue” the scoop to the cone. See tutorial at Cute As a Fox.
