You need to save them to an online photo share place like photobucket or flickr, then use the link that will be provided after you save it (sorry, my words aren't coming out right!). Hope that makes some sense. :offtopic: I've been to Moose Jaw!!

If you sign up on the Vogue/McCalls/Butterick website for their newsletter emails, they seem to have a sale on one or other of the brands every week or so! I've only bought once because of the horrendous shipping; I just waited until there were 3 or 4 patterns I wanted at once and they were all...

Me too! I'm a military fiancee. Mine is in the RAAF. Currently he's in the middle of a six month deployment to Afghanistan. He'll be back at the end of July thank goodness. Hurrah! :D

Amanda from ruffled.com did a post on Old Hollywood dresses a little while ago. http://ruffledblog.com/2010/02/1930s-wedding-dresses-by-johanna-johnson/ The featured designer is from here in Australia, but maybe you will see something to inspire you. The dress I am wearing to my wedding in...

I ordered two pairs of shoes today: and Thanks for the encouragement, oh ye of the 'should I could I' thread :) (BTW I always intended to buy the red ones, only had doubts about the others). Postage for two is only slightly more than for one!

Not offended at all. Very surprised, but not offended! Thankyou!
