a little glitter to start your week....

You have heard me wax eloquently about her at least a half a dozen times...

Yes... she still is the coolest of cool...

But

now I have the ultimate proof that everything she does turns to GOLD...

The lovliest of Lovelies, Miss Sarah Loomis Crawford of Lil Hoot has yet AGAIN had Ashly's Mermaid Bridal Shower grace the pages of a publication..

This time in print...

First it was Wedding Chicks

Next it was Classic Bride

and now..

Bliss Celebrations Magazine

(page 54-55)

Now some may say...that's great..but many weddings getting published a few times on other sites or publications..

But guess what people..this isn't a wedding it's a bridal shower......

and folks..I have YET to see that happen.. 

So bask away my sweet Lovely...

YOU deserve it!!

Honestly..and truthfully..

 I am convinced she is an alien from another planet..

because..

who even looks this good after 8 years of marriage and 4 year old twin girls...

I know..right?!

I might just have to start calling her E.T. 

and really start checking her hands for that glowing golden finger..

I mean it makes total sense...

Last time they got it all wrong in sending

a slimy bug-eyed little man..

 why not send a gorgeous beautiful woman to throw everyone off track...

But I know who she is... 

That is why I choose to stick to her like glue..

I was lucky enough to work with her on 4 other projects last year

(yet to be unveiled) 

and this year...

well this year..

I believe to be the finest one yet...

But

you'll just have to wait and see

what this GOLDEN girl has up her sleeve..

Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!

Every Cinco De Mayo, I can't help but remember one of the most fun and elegantly designed weddings that I ever had the privilege of working on. At their wedding, Mr. & Mrs. Crawford (Ms Lil Hoot) just so happened to have the tastiest and most decadent margaritas EVER!! All I have to do is close my eyes and I can hear the mariachis in the background, taste the salt on my lips and voila..I am there. Ok...so I didn't really get to have one that day as I was working, but I know where to get one whenever I want... Mrs. Crawford's sister and brother-in-law, who formally owned Zavalas in New London, now have Milagros in Stonington. Trust me folks, these are not your ordinary margaritas...with flavors like hibiscus and honeydew, they have certainly taken it to another level. Through the grapevine over the years, I have been told that they are the best margaritas in Connecticut...

Maybe you should try for yourself...

What are you waiting for...

Today is the perfect day!!

Let your imagination grow..Lil Hoot

Over the past few weeks, I have been eagerly awaiting and crazily excited to be able to bring this post to you! If you have been following along with Glitter, Glue and Fireflies you might just recognize the beautiful woman in the pictures above. If not, this lovely lady, the fabulous Miss Sarah Loomis Crawford has graced many of my posts including Let your Imagination Grow on True & Wesson

and most recently in the Holiday Gift Guides this past December.

As I had mentioned in the Holiday Gift Guide, this lady is certainly one to watch. Little did I know, a mere month later, that I would receive the call I had been waiting for for years. Miss Crawford has allowed her imagination to grow by coming up with an ingenious idea...planning and designing kids birthday parties.

Now if I wasn't such an insane designer and relished designing the Monster's parties, I can tell you Miss Crawford would be the person I would call!!

Witnessing her design the most AMAZING weddings EVER, she is the Queen of thoughtful, creative and certainly out of the box details. Most importantly..she does it with passion and with heart!

Sooo...I was flattered, excited and deeply honored that Miss Crawford asked me to do her company branding. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to collaborate with her again...Like two peas in a pod...

So without further adieu...

Let's Meet Mr. Hoot, the face of Lil Hoot Parties..

I have to admit it folks..this HAS to be my all time favorite company that I have branded thus far. Mr. Hoot was inspired by Miss Crawford's twin daughters love of owls. Honestly..I could look at him all day...I have fallen in love with an owl...

So, we designed up some simple business cards and flat notecards to get Mr. Hoot on his way..

But the ultimate of ultimate was the design of Lil Hoot's web page...

Trust me folks...you HAVE to go see it....Simple, clean with a bit of a surprise....

All I can say is that Jon Michaelsen of Braincloud Media is a creative GENIUS, the coolest cat out there and he is stuck with me forever!!

So run, jump and fly on over to Lil Hoot's web page, Facebook page and most inspiring..the blog..

It just goes to show you...by letting your imagination grow, anything is possible!!
