A few more photos

A few more of my favorite engagement shots.


I can't recommend Claire enough for any photo need - I love her dog photos, I love her human photos, I just plain love her photos.

Christmas Next Week?

Another Monday. Although today we volunteered at Santa Clause shop handing out presents to families in need. It was a nice treat to help out the community and to get out of the office for a few hours. Despite all, I am so blessed to have a warm house, full belly and a family to love.

I have decided I am not a fan of waking up to negative degree weather, requires too many layers and Riley needing dog boots to go outside (at least Jason has been on dog duty lately).

This weekend was busy with some baking, shopping, wrapping, family time, football, cleaning, etc. Plus we had the 90 holiday party on Friday night. Lots of fun to be had there.

AND, a sneak peak at our engagement photos:
I can't wait to get my hands on the images I am ordering - love them all, Claire did such a great job as always!

Coming Down with a Cold Just in Time...

I have three client meetings this week, and was up most of the night with a cold coming on. I've been avoiding most of the people in my office as they have been sniffling and hacking up their lungs, but maybe I couldn't avoid the bug they have been carrying around. I came to work stocked with Emergen-C so I hope I can kick it without getting too sick.

This weekend went so fast, I feel like I didn't do enough of the list.

We had our engagement photos taken yesterday by the lovely Claire, the dog photographer - I know Jason and I aren't canines, but I love her style. I simply CAN'T wait to see them!

I did finish up the last of the save the dates, and sealed all my Christmas cards which have been sent out in the mail.

The work Christmas party is this week. "I love holiday parties."

Getting Things Done

It has been a busy past couple of weeks at my house, between prepping for the holidays and getting wedding tasks crossed of the to-do list. I'm tired!

Here is a snapshot of me working on the Save the Dates, which I'm happy to say are 80% out in the mail. Still have to do a few more this weekend for addresses that I didn't have until this week.
Sunday Jason and I have our engagement photo session. I'm so excited to spend the day in Boulder.

Tomorrow the 20th edition of KBCO Studio CD is released. Jason and I will be up bright and early to get our hands on a copy of the CD.

This weekend I hope to also get my Christmas cards finished up and out in the mail!

Beautiful Letters

Here is a sneak peak at some wedding decorations I have been working on. Gotta love the DIY projects.

Start with some fake flowers, and maybe a large glass of wine:

Next pluck the fake flowers from the stems, and remove the fake green pieces leaving just the petals:
You will have one large pile of petals:
Next, I created a stencil and cut the letters from a piece of 1/4 inch foam board: I began gluing the flowers in the middle, working up and then down:

The Sem-Final Product!!!

A closer look a the final letters:

I added an "&" to go with the "L" and the "J", as well as added some ribbon to hang the letters from. Can't wait to see them in action at the venue!
