The earliest memory I have of loving color was as a little girl with my crayola crayons. I had one of those giant 100 piece sets in a purple plastic carrying case that I gaurded like Gollum did with his ring. ๐ I remember sitting on my belly on our shag carpetted living room rug with my hands under my chin just gazing longingly at the colorful crayons displayed side by side and dreaming of how I could incorporate them into my drawings. To me, they each has a personality and expression. I still love drawing to this day. Every tablescape I design now has a colorful, hand drawn mock up to go with it. ๐ . . This Palm Springs inspired tablescape was featured in the @bbjlinen showroom in LA.

Over the last year, being a engaged couple awaiting a wedding has been challenging to say the least! While we all thought 2020 would be the best year ever, it turned out the universe had a different plan.๐ Postponing instead of planning weddings because the theme for 2020 for anyone in the events industry. Now, as we head into finally seeing light at the end of the events tunnel in Los Angeles, C & M wanted to celebrate with a, "Making Lemons into Lemonade" styled engagement shoot as a precursor to their now 2021 wedding. You have to love a creative and kind couple with a great sense of humor! Listen, the last year hasn't been what ANY of us planned for, BUT drink up, because we have plenty of lemonade to go around now! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ . .

This heart-felt post from my #workwifeforlife @reneedalo was too funny not to share. This photos basically sums up our relationship in a nut shell. Workaholics who also get into some shenanigans together. ๐จ I wouldn't have it any other way! We are all excited for the day we can hug the ones we love again after more than a year apart. The feeling is mutual! โค . . Repost from @reneedalo Happy Hump Day, friends! I am 3 days away from my 2nd vaccination shot ๐ and then I'm gonna go hug @anythingbutgrayevents until she protests. (After the mandatory 14-day quarantine, of course. We follow rules around here.) Who are you going to hug, post-vaccine?

Wednesday Wisdom๐ฅ . . Be the person who does the right thing. Not the popular or cool thing, but the right thing. Do it simply because it is the right thing to do.It goes a long way in this world. Those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter. ๐ 
It happened again. Another Black man killed by police. For what? A damn air freshener.... A life for an air freshener. It doesn't make sense. Daunte Wright was an unarmed young man and father with a bright future who posed no threat to anyone. This senseless violence and blatant racism needs to stop. Say his name, Daunte Wright. Where is the accountability? . . Graphic: @ilanagriffo 
I am soo digging the colors of this vintage-inspired botanical save the date suite from @gildedswanpaperie! All the colors can even be customized to any color palette-- soft and sublime or bold and bright-- the choice is yours! Who doesn't love choices?! . . Photo and flatly: @Peterson.design.photo 
It's #nationalpetday today! ๐พ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ . . As a doggie mama, I want make sure they live a long, healthy life and that begins with a good diet. Over the last year, I started to slowly replace our dogs canned food with homemade food. Every Sunday because my cooking test day. I played a lot with the recipes, but finally found a winner they all love. The main focus was adding in organic veggies into the mix. Having a box from @goodlifeorganics delivered weekly that contains the sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, broccoli, and peas I need along side grocery store staples like ground turkey or beef, a couple of free-range eggs, a dash of rolled oats, and a splash of olive oil has made all the difference in our fur babies having more energy, shinier coats, and better digestion. It's a little extra prep and planning every week that has made a big difference. . . Photo: @sdkphotodesign with @goodlifeorganics 
Can I tell you a little Sunday secret? ๐ฎ . . I miss my clients! That's right, I am kind of a softy. After spending a year++ with fun clients planning & designing their weddings I miss them after all the wedding celebrating is over. Call me mushy, call me sappy, but I believe IF you are finding and working with your ideal clients they will always take up a special place in your heart, forever! ๐ . .
