So, So Grateful!

"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have such great friends! I came in yesterday and was surprised with belated birthday gifts! I love love love them!! The first was a frame wallet from KailoChic, the fabrics are so fantastic...the girls picked just the right one for me...GREEN!!Next, Koren made such a fabulous bead bracelet for me...this girl has talent! The picture doesn't do it justice thanks to the camera phone but it is turquoise and silver, I just love it!! Thanks gals for the sweet surprise!

Libby & Randy's Wedding

This post is long overdue, I had the pleasure of helping Libby with her wedding. We started with the save the dates and worked all the way up to the week of the wedding with her wedding arch & centerpieces! I will post pictures of the invites once I have those uploaded, but until then here are a few pics from Libby & Randy's beautiful day!

My favorite out of everything I helped out with would be this wooden monogram, I just love it!

The place cards...

Just a random shot of the Bride and her bridesmaids before the "I do's"

"That's what fish do, they die..."

 

This has been the re-occuring message given to me this morning by all of my dearest friends/family. I awoke this morning to the sadness of my new fish, Finneaus (Fin for short) floating to his fishbowl in the sky. Swammy who has been dubbed his sister was happily swimming along this morning and I couldn't locate Fin until I saw the him and shreaked, "NOOOOO, FIN'S DEAAAAD..."yes, I totally acted like a 5 yr old over this. I just can't believe how sad I have been, maybe it is because I think I may have contributed to Fin's death, I changed their water last night and I think I didn't wait long enough before putting him in his new water...I probably gave the lil guy frost bite (if that's even possible, haha). To make it worse, when I let Saki out of her crate she ran over to the counter where I keep the fish bowl and was jumping up as if she knew what just happened. I know I am coming off as an extreme dork right now, so be it!  Well Fin, you were a good fish...Rest in Peace buddy.

Coming Soon...Twins!

Here are a few photos from Colleen's baby shower on Saturday. She will soon have two bundles of joy, Jamison and Eden...I know she is anticipating being comfortable again, I can't even imagine how carrying twins feels! She was just glowing on Saturday, Suzy & Margie you did a great job!

(a little sign I made for the door)

Lookin' good for having a lil girl and guy in there!!

Silly shower games, but they were a lot of fun! 

Koren's fab circles that she placed all over the house...

 

I had to bling out a onesie, however, I think this would be a one time wear...I don't think the Heidi Swapp Crowns are washer friendly :)

Loved how this one turned out! 

Colleen was looking so great in blue! 

Koren and I...twin wannabes

The work crew...me, Koren, Colleen, Kim S and Dessi

 

Colleen and Suzy, the hostess! :)

Halloween 2008 Style

So this year for Halloween Mandy talked me into dressing up. The weekend started off with me being Debbie Downer and I got a lot of "wa, wa, waaaaa's" from Tmk and Mandy...thanks guys, I have the best friends ever. If you can't tell from the picture below, we debuted as Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen which ended up being a hit at the party. We carried our starbucks around filled with some tasty foamy beverage and exuded some attitude. My sister went as Madonna and her husband, Rob went as Brett Michaels...it was greeeat! Tmk kept us laughing all night with his blind referee costume...we dubbed him Ed Hochuli...GO  BRONCOS!

Watch out Ed!

Some Classy Attitude

No Pictures Please! I'm kinda a big deal!
