			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Democracy has no active polls --><p>The ever-wonderful OffBeatBride.Com just posted a <a href="http://offbeatbride.com/2008/02/khris-cochran-author-of-diy-bride">recent interview</a> with me about my book and about the current state of the DIY wedding world. (Thanks, Ariel!)</p>
<p>One of Ariel&#8217;s questions, &#8220;<em>How do you suggest combating the “DIY-er than thou” frenzy that some crafty brides work themselves into?</em>&#8220;, has been on my mind quite a bit. It&#8217;s certainly been the topic of several conversations I&#8217;ve had with both industry pros and brides lately. I honestly don&#8217;t have a good answer.</p>
<p>I really want to talk with <em>you</em> about it.  With all of the incredible DIY projects and how-to info coming online, does it help inspire you or does it cause more frustration? Are you feeling the pressure to be more crafty/original/indie/offbeat/xyz? How are you dealing with all of that? Or does it bother you at all?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really curious if you&#8217;re experiencing what I <em>think</em> you&#8217;re going through. And I&#8217;m even more curious what advice you would give to others who might be feeling bad about not feeling/being crafty enough.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a quick poll. Please feel free to leave comments, too.<br />
