She's Great!

Yesterday I got an awesome surprise.

Here's how it started:

First, Brade told me that we were going to go on a little date, but he wouldn't tell me anything else.

I LOVE SURPRISES! :D

Then, I got a knock on my door and it was my friend Linnea! She told me to go with her. So....I did. Haha she lead me outside to the parking lot and there was Brade...with a flower!

Linnea gave me an envelope and I ripped into it. And wouldn't you know...The Leno's and McCahen (Brade's brother) had a whole surprise filled day planned for me!

YAY for early Christmas presents! :)

The first stop was to take pictures of Brade and I. The idea was to get a good one to hang above his bed. We toughed it out for a little while, but since it was 15 degrees we didn't last too long. (We're having another photo session this week.)

Also, in the envelope was a gift card to Hobby Lobby! So after the photo shoot, Brade and I went there and I picked out some watercolors! I'm so excited to use them.

After that we were told to text Awna, she gave us lots of clues as to where to find our other present.

Hard hiding spot!

Posing for a quick picture!

FOUND IT!

Taped under Brade's underwear drawer! Inside was a gift card for Applebee's which we were super excited to use today.

On to the next clue....

Some where in the bed?

Under the bed?

No.

Under SETH'S bed!

Thank You Awna, Jace, and Mac!

Perfect End to a Perfect Day.

why yes...

that is an origami fish sitting on a cube next to a cone.

just beautiful isn't it?

seriously carl, something more interesting would be AWESOME. :)

btw-- i'm so completely jealous of awna. she got naomi from rockstar diaries to be a guest on her blog! sooo cool!!

and claire-- your blog is awesome.

(everyone should check it out)

projects...

here are just a few things i've been working on lately for awna and jace's wedding! they're planning the cutest wedding. outdoors and in the fall. amazing. i can't wait to see it all put together!

the wedding tree! (idea found here) they're planning on using this instead of a guestbook. guests will use ink to stamp their thumbs and put them on the tree as leaves- also signing their names by it. so cute!

tissue paper flowers for the bridal shower. turned out great. they're using glass coke bottles as vases!

just the beginning of the wedding banner. i'm adding branches with flowers to the bottom left corner and to the top right corner.

busy, busy, busy!

hello everyone! i've been so busy lately designing lots of different things! how exciting :) my boyfriend's sister- awna, and i are in the process of making our own business! there will definitely be more to come about that. oh and by the way- like the hair cut?!

also, my town is having their centennial next summer and i was asked to design a few things for them that could go on shirts and hats and stuff..here's a couple i did so far. what do you think?
