I’m out.

Travis and I are leaving for vacation tomorrow. Hawaii. Words cannot express my excitement. But, as a small business owner, I find it so hard to prepare for a long time away. Do any of y’all feel that way, too?
I’ll be back May 18, hopefully with a tan (as much as I can muster), and ready to get back at it. Don’t forget, calligraphy classes are open in May, June, and July!
Until then, here’s to umbrellas in my cocktails and sand in my toes! Aloha!
Get on that dance floor.

A recent little project I did for an escort card display. I thought the sentiment was so cute.
Just a note that there are still a couple of spots left in my May 22 class, June classes – and recently added July class. (This July class is a Saturday)! Find more information here about classes!

Travis hit the big 3-0 this past Tuesday and I have to say his birthday is one of my favorite days of the year. I love celebrating him, doing my best to make his day special with little surprises, and having fun! Happy Birthday, my dear Trav! I hope this year is your best yet!
A Native Texas Shoot

In its simplest form, the landscape in West Texas could not be more beautiful. I’ve fallen in love with it over the past couple of years as I’ve spent more time at my husband’s family’s ranch and in Marfa. Heather Rowland, a photographer recently transplanted from out West is now in Fort Worth and asked me to participate in a styled shoot dedicated to the landscape. I think the images are just beautiful. With help from Lindsey Zamora, who styled the shoot, this team of talent did an amazing job. I helped out with the calligraphy you see below.
A Fiesta!

February 23 marked the wedding of my close friend Lauren to her fella Clint. It was a grand time, full of color, delicious food, and dancing. I’ve been working on Lauren’s wedding for a while, starting with her save the dates, invitations, and then her event design and flowers. It was so fun to work with color! Below are some images from my pal Anna, as well as the official event photographs by Daniel Davis.

Just one week ago I got home from a brief, yet much needed getaway with my family. My dad turned 60 at the end of February, so we whisked him away to paradise to celebrate – wine country. Needless to say, I’ve been a little sad since we got back. You can see why.
Highlights included: my giant coconut macaron at Bouchon Bakery, escargot and roasted chicken at Bouchon Bistro, perusing Oakville Grocery Co., the most beautifully merchandised market I’ve quite possibly ever seen, the intimate tasting and Cab Franc at family-owned Titus Vineyards, becoming a Sparking Rosé convert at Domaine Chandon (seriously, please try it now), Yountville, CA in general, St. Helena shopping (especially St. Helena Olive Oil Co., they’re packaging is divine), and Napa Valley Lodge, where there was a fireplace in our hotel room and champagne breakfasts every morning.
Now, is it 5:00 yet? This post has me craving some Rosé.
A cute little mini shoot

A little bit ago I participated in a sweet little mini shoot with Bows & Arrows (all of the beautiful floral and concept), Cakewalk Bake Shop (rockin’ cake) and Ben Q Photography (always fantastic images). Lots of pink, black and golds. Glam!
