/I started my week with a mimosa, beach side, in 84º weather in Ft. Lauderdale with girlfriends. What can top that you say?
Ending the week with the most loyal friends, family and clients. If you have a business of your own, you soon find out that your company is your baby, your passion. It's a give-everything-you-got attitude to get the job done better than perfect. Someone once said to me, "You'll always be the one that cares the most" (referring to owning your own business). While I understand that, I am also astounded and speechless by the loyalty you have to my "baby". I will forever be grateful for that.
This week I watched Silverbox move up the charts in a Party Planning contest. At the beginning of the week, I was just happy to be on the list with the 150 industry super stars. I never imagined we'd be in 13th place by week's end because of your votes.
I sincerely thank you.
A few other Silverbox in-the-news items... Blurb chose one of our book designs for book of the week! While we can't take most of the credit, due to it's extraordinary contents, we did have a hand in it. You can view it here. I'm telling you, it's a must read/see. The book's artist is Millicent Harvey. One of the most extraordinary photographers that I have met in my lifetime.
Sunday is filled with communion sessions. All boys! I can't wait for those handsome fellows.
Next week I'm getting ready to gear up and head to BrandCamp and mingle with some of the most passionate business owners in our industry. I am so looking forward to this.
Here's to another great week behind us. TGIF
Each year I have the distinct honor of designing the invitations for this school's Fun Fair. This year's theme...the Circus. I decided to step outside of the box and not use the expected red, but create more of a light an airy vintage look.
Introducing a true Super Star! Don't let these formal photos fool you. We talked about our favorite American Idol, iCarley, and girly conversation the entire session. We had a casual shoot a week or two in advance to design communion invitations, and the formal pictures at a later time, that will be displayed on her special day with a canvas and easel.
In the spotlight today is an oh-so-sweet couple's custom save the date design. Oh, what a beautiful bride she'll be! The photo was taken by one of our favorites...Miss 
I'm making it a little personal today. My daughter's coming home for spring break this afternoon and it has been such a bitter sweet sort of week. Enjoy your kiddos every moment they're here. To all of you that have a child in college, or are leaving soon...I recently met a gal that mentioned she texted her college daughter every night before she went to bed. She said, "Just a simple good night is all that's needed." She mentioned, you never know what you'll get. Some nights it a simple, "You, too Mom" and other nights could be much more. I took this advice about two weeks ago after meeting this new friend, and it's been such a nice way to end the day. The joys of technology, I'll will utilize for love.
