What else has been going on lately?

A couple weekends ago I went up to Coloma, California (where gold was discovered... In California) to help my mom and Margie Sanborn (wedding planner extraordinaires!) set up for a wedding that took place at The Coloma Country Inn a beautiful Bed and Breakfast that Margie owns.

Being the huge production that it was, we divvied up the jobs that needed to be done and got to work. Aside from reupholstering 34 chairs, weeding the garden and helping my mom and Margie with their jobs; I was designated Table Number creator. For this, I cut out colorful tags and numbers glued them together and hung them, with beautiful ribbon, from different sized old milk bottles that Margie had. The butterflies were purchased by the bride and dropped off at the inn and since we weren't sure what to do with them I super-glued them onto the bottles!

I'm gonna brag a bit and say that I think they turned out pretty nice! The ultimate compliment came at the end of the night when wedding guests didn't want the flower arrangements off of their tables, they wanted the table numbers! Some were even stolen!

My First Blog... How Artsy Is This Gonna Be?

So a few weeks ago, while flying up to Sacramento, I met a woman on an airplane who suggested I start a blog to inform the world of my talents/current projects. As a romance novelist and avid blogger, she spoke non-stop of the amazingness that is a blog and how anyone who is anyone blogs. So here I am...

Blog number one.

Since graduating from The Art Institute of California Orange County, I have become one lazy gal. I've been doing projects here and there and a few freelance things but I really need to find a job...

So if you are in need of some animation, don't hesitate to ask!

Last weekend was my brother's fiancee Tiffany's bachelorette party/bridal shower and I let the creative juices flow... Or at least my crafty juices...

These are the bikini cookies that Tiffany's sister Candyce suggested I make for the bridal shower. I made them using a heart chaped cookie cutter. Chandara and Natalie came over and helped frost. Aren't they amazing?

Here's another look!

At the Pool party part of the bachelorette day all guests were instructed to make something tacky and hawaiian themed for Tiff to wear while on her honeymoon. I made her a hat (glasses not part of it):

Here's a close-up!

And one more time! It said "Bride" in big glittery foam letters!

Ok so thats it!
Hope I'll be more interesting next time!
I need another coffee!!
