Common Sense … we will miss it, or will we?

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:-Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm;- Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies, don't spend more than you can earn and adults, not children, are in charge. His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter, Responsibility, and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on; If not, do nothing.

Wedding Planning Guide Book

If you're dreaming of having the perfect wedding, but don't think you have the knowledge or time to plan it-or the cash to pay for it-then let me share with you…

"A Remarkable Guide That Will Show You Every Time-Tested, Cost-Cutting and Sanity-Saving Technique You Need to Plan and Enjoy The Wedding of Your Dreams!"

"And Surprisingly, It's Easier Than You Think!"

---

Whether simple or elaborate, your wedding will be a breathtakingly beautiful occasion, one you will remember and cherish for the rest of your lives. But the numerous steps leading up to it can be nearly overwhelming-the decisions to make, the arrangements to coordinate, the families' feelings to consider-it's intimidating enough to make you want to elope!

But don't despair. "The Wedding Planning Guidebook” takes the complication and confusion out of the planning process! It provides you with the information and advice you need to stay organized and on top of every detail, from popping the question to enjoying the honeymoon! This guide offers support and salvation for the busy couple who want their ceremony and reception to be perfect, but don't know where to begin.

What you are about to learn is going to enable you to plan your dream wedding without going crazy-or going broke. And you'll both live happily ever after!

---

Dear Soon-to-be-Married:

It finally happened! The magic question was popped and answered-with "Yes!" The two of you have taken the first exhilarating-yet frightening-step toward marriage!

Congratulations!

Isn't it a glorious thing to gaze into the eyes of the one you love, knowing you've just made the best decision of your life?

"To have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health…" You've probably dreamed for years about hearing those wonderful words and standing up in front of family and friends with your soul mate to say "I do."

Slowly, though, your euphoria about becoming engaged to your one true love starts to fade… just a bit… as the reality of your pending wedding starts to sink in. Inside your head, the lines of poetic wedding vows disappear as an ever-increasing number of questions take their place:

• "When would be the best date to get married?"
• "Where should our wedding and reception be held?"
• "Who should we invite?"
• "What type of wedding gown do I want and where do I get it?"
• "Who should be in our wedding party?"
• "Do we want a traditional ceremony?"
• "Should we write our own vows?"
• "Should we have a theme?"
• "What about decorations?"
• "What type of food should we have for the reception?"
• "Is it tacky to have a cash bar?"
• "Should we register somewhere?"
• "If we hire a D.J. can he also be our emcee?"
• "What song do we want played for our first dance as man and wife?"
• "Who will make our cake?"
• "Where can we find a good photographer-and what about video?"
• "How much will everything cost?"
• "Can we plan all of this ourselves without losing our minds?"

And those are just a few of the questions you'll need to answer! The good news is, the answer to the last question above is, "YES!" That's because everything you need to know about planning your dream wedding is right at your fingertips…

"The Wedding Planning Guidebook"

If planning a wedding were easy, there wouldn't be so many wedding planners, coordinators and consultants earning huge sums of money from couples like you! But wouldn't you rather save that money for your new beginning as man and wife?

Besides, you've already done the hardest part-finding the love of your life!

To Navigate the Complicated Journey Through The Ceremony and Reception, You Don't Need To Hire a Trail Guide-All You Need Is a Great Map!

That's exactly what "The Wedding Planning Guidebook" is… a "map" that shows you the best routes to take, the obstacles to avoid, and the shortcuts you can use to reach your ultimate destination-your dream wedding!

Here are just a few of the tips you'll discover in this amazing guide:

• How to share the joyous news with your families and friends.
• How to build a strong and lasting relationship with your future in-laws.
• How to pick and purchase the perfect rings.
• How to keep the moms happy even if you don't agree with their ideas for the wedding.
• How to set the date-and save up to 70% on the cost of your wedding!
• How to choose the members of your wedding party.
• How to ensure every step of the wedding and reception is carefully planned and
• executed.
• How to save money before, during and after the wedding!

That's just a broad overview. "The Wedding Planning Guidebook" offers more-much more!

Create Your Own Stunning Wedding Flower Bouquets and Arrangements

How to Create Your Own Stunning Wedding Flower Bouquets and Arrangements

– Without Paying Expensive Florist Fees

This is your chance to get hold of a brand new tutorial that shows you exactly how to create wonderful floral arrangements – complete with step-by-step photographs of what to do.

We've all done it.  You're looking through the wedding magazines trying to get some ideas for your big day.  You see plenty of other people's weddings that look spectacular.  Brides holding amazing bouquets.  Reception tables complete with flower centrepieces that are just out of this world.

But at the back of your mind there's always the same doubt -  "I'd love to have stunning flower decorations like that, but I don't think I could afford it."

So how can you have stylish wedding flowers without blowing your budget?

What would you say if an expert florist, who has created hundreds of wedding flower arrangements, was to take you by the hand and show you exactly how you could create your own wedding flowers?

You could easily slash your wedding flower bill in half. You’ll also have a lot of fun doing it.

Just think what you could do with the money you saved. Maybe you could have a longer honeymoon, or the wedding dress that you always wanted, or that extra special ring that will last a lifetime.

Preparing For the Big Day Will be Fun

But it’s more than just about saving money. Have a bit of fun in the build up to your wedding day by creating your flowers. Include some of your friends, family or bridesmaids in making the arrangements and make it a ‘team effort’.

Once you’ve learnt the skill of creating eye-catching arrangements, you will be able to make the flowers arrangements for friends’ weddings, christenings, birthday parties and other celebrations. 

Now, for the first time, there is an ebook resource called “Create Your Own Wedding Flowers” that will show you exactly how to produce fantastic wedding flower arrangements but at a fraction of the price a florist would charge.

It is a practical guide written by a professional wedding florist that will have you creating wonderful flower arrangements for your big day… even if you don’t know a daisy from a daffodil.

The arrangements have been specially chosen so that they are easy to make – you don't need to have had any prior training in floristry or flower arranging.

Here's just a couple of the bouquets, to give you an idea of what you will be creating:

If you want to learn the correct way to make a simple 'hand-tied' posy style of bouquet, you will find all the details here.

Or if you're ready to try a more detailed arrangement, you will find step-by-step instructions on how to make this wonderful cascade bouquet.

The arrangements in this ebook will look great at your wedding. In fact, they are exactly the type of arrangements that florists regular charge hundreds and even thousands for. You'll quickly gain the skills to be able to create your own bouquets, table centrepieces and wedding buttonholes.

It's like a fast track floristry course in creating wedding flowers. You’ll learn simple floristry techniques that will have you creating wonderful arrangements in no time at all.

Of course we can’t show you how to create a bouquet like Lady Diana’s in this short space of time. But you will end up with stunning arrangements that your friends and family will be surprised that you made yourself. You don’t even need to say that you made them yourself…nobody will be any the wiser!  

What Others are Saying about "Create Your Own Wedding Flowers"

Really useful…some great designs
I have looked through the book and I found it really easy to follow and it has some great designs.
The pictures were a real help and took me through things step by step. I really liked the 'where to get supplies' section.
The section on buttonholes was especially useful for me and shows me in easy steps what I need to do. I am going to be having a go at a Stargazer centrepiece today.
A really good ebook, great fun. Well done.
Heidi Portrey, UK

and here are some more comments...

Very informative…
I thought the book was very informative and it is an easy read. I really like the fact that pictures are included in every step. 
Aimee Liseo, USA

Very Good…
The step by step guides provided simple instructions which were clear and to the point - these instructions were supported with good pictures to demonstrate how to create the different bouquets.
As I said the book is very good - I have been using it to create some arrangements for the home!
Nicola Armstrong, UK

Clear instructions are included at every stage, so that you can easily follow along.

Everything that you need to complete your arrangement is clearly shown for you.

Then there are detailed photographs that take you through each step of the process of creating your arrangement.

Here are just some of the things you'll learn:

• How to make a stylish ‘hand-tied’ bridal bouquet using pink roses – including step-by-step photographs.

• Three different types of bouquet
