From A-Z

As you know, I've got a knack for doodling. One of my favorite things to doodle are the letters of the alphabet. I recently doodled one letter per day and recorded it on Instagram! I've combined the doodles into a collage to share here! 

Wedding Design: R+N

 I have the privilege of designing a wedding for a sweet couple, Raegan and Nate....I'm so excited and thankful for this opportunity! :)....Thank you for trusting me you two!! I'd like to share with you a few snapshots of the inspiration board I made, and give you a sneak peek of some items that will be used!

I'm currently in the process of making these giant tissue paper flowers, they are turning out Beautiful and so life-like!.....The bottom photo is of my growing collection of clear and milk glass vases and bottles that will be used at the reception.

Springtime in Las Vegas!

Spring Break 2012 was a success! I ventured along with Z's family to the Bright Light City and can't thank them enough.... Yes, it was my first time.....yes, I was in awe, ......and yes, I will return very soon. I was in love with the energy, the lights, the sights....never a dull moment! I might add what a high roller I was slippin' those dolla' dolla' bills in those penny slots! ;D

Take a look at some of the sights and adventures of the trip, taken everywhere from The Venetian, Fremont Street, Hoover Dam, and The Bellagio, and my personal favorite experience, The Beatles Love Show- Cirque du Soleil...pure brillance.

Quick! Everyone pack your bags and take a little trip to that City of Sin.

   

Fern Goodness Sake!

My favorite plant of the moment is the fern....full of freshness, each kind is so delicate and wispy!

 I especially adore the simplicity of a single stem in a vase....perfect!

Floral Halos

Spring has officially sprung, and it's about time! To welcome in the season, I've created a collage of beautiful floral halos. This spring, even if you aren't going to San Francisco, you should definitely wear flowers in your hair!

Color Wonderful: Blush

I've been noticing the color trend of the blush and nude palette, and I ain't mad at it! 

The color is versatile, soft, and romantic. I created this collage to feature some of my favorite finds

 which include some darling skirts, a vintage ring holder, a pair of shoes that I am the proud 

new owner of, and a festive tissue paper garland!

I should just tell you that creating this collage caused me way too much stress...and three days!
 I dabbled in Photoshop during college but not near enough....geez!

Hopeful of Rain

The recent drought, extreme heat, and wildfires have all of us West Texans praying and hoping for the precious gift of rain. I have created this collage of all things rain with the hope that maybe, just maybe, it will rain....

How Does Your Garden Grow?

The blustery West Texas winds and lack of rain have me longing for a spot in the great outdoors surrounded by a beautiful, green, and lush garden!...... I have found some unique planters to share with you and perhaps bring out the gardener in you. 

1. Recycled Glass Bottle Planters from Etsy: These handmade planters are simple, transparent, modern, and eco-friendly!

2. This Retro Bullet planter: Full of style, comes in an array of colors, and made of molded fiberglass

3. Wallter Planters: Wall mounted modern planters perfect for small succulents or hanging plants and helps keep plants away from pets!

4. Bicycle Planter: How darling is this!? This bicycle would be the perfect touch to a garden, holding four plants, plus the metal would weather beautifully!

5. Six-Sided Copper Planter - This copper planter helps put a shine to your patio, highlighting your plants and giving your home the ultimate curb appeal!

6. Tatami Steel Planter - Texas made....that's all I need to say! These sleek and simple planters are hand crafted by Sarabi Studio in Austin, TX. This steel work of art would pair well with the natural landscapes and native plants of Texas!
