Remeber those funky directions? They were for a motorized backdrop roller system.

As you all know, I love Pictage! Having them handle all my print orders and payment processing keeps me from getting bogged down and allows me to put more focus on the creative stuff, as well as all my wonderful clients!
And now, Jayse and I have decided it is time to outsource another HUGE task – housekeeping. The maid service we hired is awesome! They came by for the first time today with a crew of 4 people for a nice DEEP clean. 3 hours and plenty of cleaning solution later… the house was sparkling like never before!
Just check out those sexy carpet lines…


I am definitely going to get used to this.

I was super excited for Kara and Greg to come back to Vegas for a trash the dress this past weekend! I hadn’t seen them since their wedding in April, so it was a great time catching up on everything while on our mini-adventure.

While browsing I found this really neat wedding favor site: http://www.favorideas.com. They showcase products from several different favor sites, so it’s a great place to get unique ideas that fit your wedding!
LOVED these adorable gumball slot machines for all my Vegas brides.

Kara and Greg flew out for an awesome trash-the-dress yesterday! It was so great seeing them and going on a little adventure. I can’t wait to get some photos up!
Also, some fun stuff has been happening in my world… but with some really horrible instructions! Let’s see if anyone can guess what it is based off of this:

Here’s some fireworks from our pre 4th of July party last night. It was quite a show!

This past weekend was the 1st Jayse and I took off in a while. Every year we head out to California for the Electronic Daisy Carnival. I wouldn’t miss it for anything! It’s all about spending time with great friends, dancing and of course, the music.
This years event was insane with a turnout of over 62,000 people that filled the LA Coliseum & Exposition Park!

The next day, we all drove to one of my favorite places – Santa Monica!

After spending a lazy day soaking up the sun at the beach, we strolled 3rd street and got some dinner at our favorite pizza place before heading home.
Feels nice to be back and completely refreshed!
