Happy Weekend Everyone!!

I certainly am one lucky lady! This morning, I got to head down to The White Dress By The Shore for my lovely farm bride, Miss Eleanor, as it was her 2nd to last dress fitting....

Me Oh My.. did she ever look simply gorgeous!!

Very reminiscent of a young Grace Kelly...

But I couldn't head down before I had to zip over to the post office to mail off some VERY important invitations from my MOST important client!

Now..all my clients are equally as important.. but this one...

this one has been with me since the beginning...

It's not every day that you're having your last single digit birthday!

So the Monster will be turning 9 next week and I am glad that I am not the only insane artist up till 2 in the morning getting these beauties done...

The equally insane Miss Amy Graver of Elements Design was doing the exact same thing for her son's birthday...

His will be a "Spy" party and I know there will be no detail left untouched!

This year we are going with....

(drum roll please..)

Sneakerpalooza

So what exactly is Sneakerpalooza?

I have NO idea...but it sounded really cool and I am hoping that the Tall-One will take the reins on this one.

My vision?

Sneakers + Running = VERY tired little Monsters!

But..I will give you a little sneaky peek....

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

Brrr...the weather has finally turned and we are getting a glimpse of a very very long winter ahead.

However...Today is a very special day...

I have been invited by one of my sweet as pie brides, Miss Eleanor, to ooooh and ahhh as she finds her perfect gown.

Now I don't have a sister...but this cute as a button bride is surely becoming it and I am deeply flattered and honored that she has included me in such a momentous day!

It reminds me of how much I miss being a part of the WHOLE process...I LOVE creating the paper but the addition to styling an event allows me to see it all come together and perhaps get a glimpse of the beautiful bride on the big day..

So I am super deliciously excited to not only create the paper but style Eleanor & Matt's wedding as well. Styling has always been a part of Chocolate Creative Design's repertoire...but as the business (and myself) morphs and grows, I have decided to embrace and joyfully expand that area of creativity!

So today is dress up girlie day....

I get to hang with the lovely girls at The White Dress at the Shore 

(one of the best bridal shops in the Northeast)

glamorously surrounded by glitter and tulle..

Then I will hop skip and jump over to Miss Jennie Fresa's studio

(The only person I trust to paint my face)

and pick up some very much needed products(I am OBSESSED)

from her beauty/makeup line.

Miss Jennie's studio has just gotten a fabulous makeover along with a new yummy site where I will be able to order her products online!

Now I LOVE my yoga pants (sad but true), plastic dinosaurs, praying mantises and grass stained knees but

there is something about pretty dresses and magical makeup that does a soul good!

So thank you Miss Eleanor...

it's amazing how a simple gesture can truly feed the heart!

Be Safe, Stay Warm and Have a Great Weekend!!!
