tying the knot...

last year was a very busy year in my professional life as well as my personal life. on top of our usual busyness with 6 kids and all that my little sister got engaged and married!

as soon as he put a ring on it i started scheming i mean planning for a really great wedding and personal shower. my sister is the best and she has waited to be found by just the right man so her celebrations needed to be worthy of her and all that she does for others.

first up was their big wedding shower. my sister has loved anchors for sometime (before it was a trend). i also did their engagement pictures at the tarpon springs sponge docks so i came up with a navy, pink and mint green color palette and a theme of "tying the knot".

everything turned out great! and i think everyone had a lovely time!
thanks to the bridesmaids, and their husbands and our parents. couldn't have done it with out you.

the flowers came from sams club online
the rope (my favorite part) came from knot and rope supply
the frames are from ikea
the small frosting jars are from blain's farm and fleet
the invite and favor stickers were designed by Lindsay Faye (me!)
the cake was also done by me

3 months already

can i just say that i can not stand how fast time goes once you have kids!
it's crazy, and i think it speeds up a little more with each child added. olivia is 3 months almost 4 and just the sweetest thing still, such a good baby! i have taken lots of pictures of her but haven't posted a whole lot...hmmm wonder why, i'm sure it has nothing to do with 6 kids and client work and the new design team i am on for whim so doodle. ah such is life! well i'm nursing while i type this with one hand so excuse any mistakes please! olivia took her 1st trip at the end of august. we went to manhattan to meet her aunt, uncle and cousins while mommy did some work. we had a lovely time and olivia was perfect the whole trip, whew! anyways, i need to go take care of everything else, lol so til next time!

our new little one
