The Switch.

See, I toldja. engagement photos galore! 

ta-daaaaa!

l.a. sync.

my new website!

I've made the switch to a very grown-up, self-hosted, designed site.

it will probably always be a work in progress, but that's where I'll be posting all of my blogs from now on.

so add me to your google reader? 

comment on stuff you like?

loves!

a day in the life.

  today,

I scraped snow off of my car.

I wore husbands shirt to work

(the one he's wearing above, in fact).

and I designed a billboard.

hooray!

fun fact: I also probably have enough engagement photos to post a new one every post.

maybe I will, maybe I won't.

girl scout cookies?

um, yes please!

super easy to make and super yummy!

my only modification to the recipe: reduce the bake time. cookies are definitely better when extra soft!

recipe here.

wedding love.

my all-time favorite bridal boutique, Avenia Bridal, has posted the sweetest lil' post about our wedding story!

wanna see??

it's making me want to get married all over again!
(with the same handsome groom, of course)

enjoy!

a bunny update.

we had our couple friends, Carrie & Jason, over to play with the bunny.

Apple loved it (I'm especially sure he was loving that last picture)

now we just definitely need to move him out of the laundry basket...

Apple can jump!

best of both worlds.

this summer, I had the best of both worlds:

DESIGNER & bride!

I loved being able to design with myself as the client, and for a wedding, nonetheless!

It went so far that for my last of four bridal showers (hopefully some pictures to come soon!), I designed my own bridal shower invitations.

and I totally loved it! 

Big thanks to my best friend Courtney for throwing me such a fun bridal shower, and letting me be a control-freak and design for my own shower :)

we designed it postcard-style, which made the mailing & printing process so much easier.

the back! 

cutesy-cute.

goals are a big deal over here at the mag. we made them at our first staff meeting, refer to them and overall, love them.
last year, our little goal sheets were simply adorable, made by jessica.
lots to live up to!

this year, I busted out my extra-cutesy fonts and color palettes
(nevermind that it happens to be part of my wedding scheme..shhh)
and ta-da! a cutesy-cute goal reminder-thing.

 

ps. I have, in my possession, the bridal shower invites I made for my own AZ bridal shower! I'll blog about all that cuteness super soon. so excited!
