buttons.

mini buttons are sooo much fun! these buttons were featured on theknot.com wedding blog. they were used as a wedding favor for a couples wedding and i think they are freakin fabulous! don't you?!

work. usually a favorite.

My first pochette announcement!! I was so excited to venture out and try a new invitation/announcemnt. The idea was fabulous and so simple (in my head) and then the "punching began". As you can see in the picture I use a small tool, that I was soooo excited about getting and still love btw, to "punch these slits in the pochette to hold a picture or whatever. Seem simple enough, punch, place picture, fold, tie ribbon and throw on a backing for added decor...well a 1/2 hour later while I am STILL punching the slits this fabulous idea became work...ugh! Long story short I am waiting for one more piece to arrive before I can show the completed product, and I know I will have a lot more of these to do...but for now I am happy to be done "punching" for the day :)

social networks.

gotta love it. for business owners, it is a fabulous way to advertise your products or services for free and for everyone else it makes it pretty easy to keep in touch with those you don't see that often. as for me, i use it for both. i grew up in three states and moved a loth within those states, so to have a venue to keep in touch with those i find dear has been amazing and i can't image the lost communications without it. thank you facebook :)

a good man.

my signature scent.

loooovvveee it! so i have been wearing it for a while, and it is by far my favorite scent of all time. although it is a fave, it is definately a scent i don't wear all of the time. it has a very unique smell and it pretty strong, so i save it for when i go out. anyway, that is my faavvoorrite thing of the day! thanks!
