I had to share this!!!

First of all its been way too long right? I hope you all are doing well and I miss you guys!! Oh and Merry Christmas!!! I have been so busy with weddings, graphic design and other projects (including my new local blog Star City Weddings). I had to stop in and say HELLO and share this cute little project that I did for my daughters teachers. They are glass ornaments filled with vintage book page pieces. They were so easy to make and I had a blast doing them. I really hope their teachers appreciate them.

Featured Again:: Munaluchi Bridal Magazine

Our wedding was featured on the revamped Munaluchi Bridal Magazine's Blog! If you have not hear of this magazine you are missing out. Its a gorgeous magazine for women of color. It is done beautifully and curvy brides of color can have a real inspiration of what their wedding day could be. I've mentioned before that I think that there is a lack of inspiration in the bridal world for women of color and I am so grateful that we now have something beautiful to see! Go Munaluchi Bridal, thank you so much!!!

My Daughters 9th Birthday Party!

I had to pop in here to share pictures from my daughter Saisunni's birthday party this past weekend! I had such a BLAST planning it and she was thrilled with how it turned out! The wedding/party planner definitely came out in my while creating the look for this party. I recycled most of my wedding items and used them and I also made all paper products for the part. I love the colors, so bold and striking! Anywhoooo, I was proud of myself so I had to share!

Happy Anniversary to Us!!

Its so hard to believe that a year (and 5 days) has gone by since we got hitched, lol. Its been such a great year and I don't care what anyone says, a marriage is not just a piece of paper, it means so much more than that. I think our relationship has taken on a whole new life since getting married and I love the path that we are on. We went to Savannah and had a fabulous time, its so gorgeous there I didn't want to come home. We saw one couple taking e-pics on the riverfront, one couple taking e-pics in the beautiful Forsyth Park, a gorgeous bride taking bridal portraits (her dress was fabulous), and two weddings, love was most definitely in the air. We had some fabulous dinners and was all over Savannah, I love the little shops. I chickened out on the ghost hunting tour at the Sorrell-Weed house, I just couldn't do it, lol. My gorgeous hubby on the River Front (he had on his new Armani sunglasses and D&G Watch that I got him for our anniversary): We did a lot of self portraits I was to afraid to ask someone to take a picture with my favorite camera! Cute little seagull...he wasn't shy at all! Didn't get to eat here but I heard its yummy! Forsyth Park, so gorgeous! We ventured off to Tybee Isand, it was a beautiful day and I once again followed the birds around, lol. Fort Pulaski:

My awesome hubby gave me the nicest gifts, he and our girls did a fabulous job picking them out. I got a beautiful Michael Kors bag (if you don't know it by now, he's my favorite, love him), a bad-ass (excuse my French) Glam Rock Watch ), and also a super chic Jacques Lemans Watch (he went with the modern wedding anniversary year for time) as well, my man is so sweet!

One Year Anniversary Around the Corner!!

Long time no talk! How is everyone? I know its been a few months since I posted but our one year anniversary (What?!? Where has the time gone?) is just a few days and I just had to pop on here and let you guys know what's going on.

First of all I have landed my dream job...I know you might be scratching your head because I did announce that I started my own company, but thats just a hobby and I need a real job with real benefits. So anyway, do you remember my gorgeous venue? Well thats where I work! I'm the Assistant Event Facility Manager! So awesome, its a fun and a great job and we are working on alot of promotional ideas, upping their social media input and adding new services. Its truly exciting and wedding season is just around the corner, how fun!

Hubby and I are off to Savannah, GA this weekend for a little getaway. Our anniversary is Sunday, March 27th and its been a great year. We will of course be enjoying a private carriage ride, great dinners and until last night we were going to ghost hunt but that is out the door because I was dumb enough to watch Paranormal Activity 2 and now I'm way to wigged out to do it. I can't wait I heard it was a gorgeous city. His gifts were so much fun to buy, I can't wait to give them to him.

We are currently looking to purchase our own home and leave the in-laws (even though they are a tremendous help). Its going to be a huge and long process because I'm super picky and won't settle. Because we didn't rack up credit cards in college or rent an apartment our credit scores are a little below 680 so we will work for the next 6 months to build that number so we can get at least 97% financing. It sucks that you're punished because you don't have a credit card history. Anywhooooo we'll just work on that and begin looking. If we have to do the 20% we will but we'd rather pay 3% down.

Anyway, thats about all thats going on at the moment. I've missed you guys but sometimes life gets in the way and I'm so busy that any spare time I have is given to my wonderful, gorgeous, caring hubby and my two sweet babies (well they're not little babies anymore but I still call that because its hurts to see them grow so fast, lol).
