"When was the last time you were at a wedding that had a death defying hike, rogue waves, a luau, ultimate fighting, a presidential candidate and a budding bromance?" asks Papi Chulo. For most of us, the answer is never, but luckily, Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch took the time to Vox all the amazing moments during their unforgettable Hawaiian wedding on 08.08.08 so we could all take part in the festivities.
The story began last February, when Papi Chulo popped the question and Secret Agent Scotch said yes! Since then, they've kept us in the loop about all the details, from the bride's veil to the wedding song to the final To-Do List. And throughout it all, they inspired us with their love for each other. (I'm pretty sure it doesn't get any better than knowing your future husband thinks you are The Perfect Girl.)
It's an amazing love story and we are thrilled they shared it with us. Watch the video of the ceremony and please join us in wishing Papi Chulo and Secret Agent Scotch the fairytale ending they deserve.
And What's a Team Vox Post without New Themes?
Spice up your Vox blog with one of our latest themes (found in the design area under "New") or any of our hundreds of themes. From shopping to sushi, comics to cycling, there's something for everyone.
Can't get enough of the wedding? A few lucky Voxers - Krissy, djchall, and Beau Smith - made the trip to Hawaii to take part in the celebration. Check out their Vox blogs for more pictures and stories.
Congratulations again to Secret Agent Scotch and Papi Chulo! Enjoy the Honeymoon!
The first one is a teeny tiny micro maille necklace. I've been making it on and off for over a year and it's finally done. I'm so excited! I let it tumble for a while and now it's super shiny and smooth and I'm really happy with it. Made with 24 gauge stainless steel rings.
Second is the newest addition to my basics line. It's a European 6 in 1 dense, HUGE bracelet. I already sold one of these today, the first day I had it listed! Made with 16 gauge aluminum rings.
Yesterday I went to a bead show and picked up a strand of black onyx beads. I got home and immediately started creating this set! I'm really excited about it. I don't use beads too often in my work, but that's something that I think will change in the future. I also got some really sparkly goldstone and some garnet and some tourmalinated quartz beads. I've got a billion ideas running through my head of a lot of things I want to make.
For now, you can pick up my latest two items (and many others!) in my etsy shop.
At Vox, we believe that change is a good thing. After all, you wouldn't wear the same t-shirt day in and day out, so why should your blog have to suffer the same fate? Give your blog a new look with one of our latest themes (found under "New"), or pick from any of our hundreds of themes designed with your passions and personality in mind.
Until then... Enjoy!

Alright! I've made a lot of progress today! I uploaded more listings back up to my etsy store, and I've learned a lot about CSS and Liquid for the programming of my website. I feel like I've learned a lot, and have a good solid idea of what I'm going to be changing in the next few days.
Once I have all my inventory uploaded into some spreadsheets I have, I may even reopen my mintd or dawanda stores. Maybe. :)
Hi everyone! I'm in the process of completely overhauling my etsy shop, and most importantly, my domain at www.redpandajewelry.com. I just got a brand new computer, and I'll be redoing my entire inventory system, the way listings are written, and I'll be adding a whole new "basics" line to the site. I'm looking forward to being able to bring you the best of my items and my talent and keeping organized throughout it all. I've recently set up and redesigned my entire desk area and how I store items. I'm really excited about all the changes going on, and I hope you will be, too! Thanks for your support.

Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.
Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.
In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.
The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.
You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.
And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)
