The Simples.

Yesterday was a long day, with plenty of things going on, including having to attend the funeral
of a family friend.

Life can be strange, and I think it's in these times we have to remember to enjoy and appreciate
the simple things. Like a good hug from a friend who cares, a warm cup of coffee in the morning,
laughing at a stupid movie with your husband, or seeing the sun peaking through the window as it sets. These things are apart of the everyday, and they are the things we remember when looking back.



Happy Wednesday everyone! Remember to embrace the simples.

It's kinda crazy how much I love warm drinks. Especially this time of year. I seem to always be
hugging one in my hands, trying to stay warm. Coffee and apple cider have been my drinks of choice
lately. But last night I had an Oregon chai tea and that was amazing. I am trying to mix it up a little
bit. Anyone know of a good warm winter beverage I've got to try?

Another thing I love is this blog. I know I've blogged her photos before, but seriously, she posts
emotion filled photos of food, happiness and love. And they're captured in a unique and beautiful way.
So that being said, I'm blogging her photos again. Go check it out for yourself! You're bound to
fall in love.

Happy Thursday friends!

Creative Connection LA- Recap!

If you've been reading my blog at all, you've seen me talk about the amazing organization called
Creative Connection. Their most recent event was for the LA ladies- at the Tea Exchange in
Manhattan Beach.

I was honored to have been asked to be a featured designer for the event. This meant that I took
care of designing all of the paper goods. The welcome sign, name tags, bags for the girls to put the business cards they collect inside.

I normally hate wearing nametags, because no matter what you do, they always seem to ruin your outfit... so I really wanted to make some cute ones :)

I thought, since we're having tea- our name tags should reflect the event and mimic actual tea bags.
The color I used throughout the products was a raspberry pink, being fun and girlee, but still with
that slight hint of fall.



The event was a blast. You are able to meet so many talented women who all want to encourage
and support you in your passion. Every single one of these ladies has a creative talent and passion
they are bringing to the world in someway. I am always motivated and inspired by them after leaving these events.

The Vintage Table and S'Wonderful Photography were the other featured creatives who
did an amazing job. The Vintage Table rents out vintage china and other fun things for weddings,
and S'Wonderful Photography takes beautiful photos. (pictured above) Also thanks to Stacee Liana
for letting me use your beautiful photos! Definitely check them out!

Happy Wednesday everyone! It looks like the sun is peaking out here in Burbank, hoping the weather
is slightly chilly but warm in the sun- perfect for that pumpkin spice lattee... yummms...
