Ok, so if there's one thing I really need to get the hang of is this blogging. It just seems to happen for me once I get dinner finished, laundry done, caught up with friends and family and most importantly spending time with my loved ones...I have to get better!
I am so anxious for my website to become live, right now I feature all of my designs on Etsy and believe me...it has been quite an adventure- i love it.
With all of this said, I promise to blog more...i'm getting beat up by those close to me that would love to read more.

2nd Post ~Vintage JuneDays~
Today I want to show a fan program I designed. Now the fan shaped program has been around for a while but in honor of Vintage JuneDays I designed one featuring romantic lace and a splash of color in the double satin blue ribbon.
This design can be used as a program and if you want to get even more adventurous feature this as a menu at each of your guest place setting.

My super Mother's Day suggestions...
Mother's Day will be hear in another week .... See my suggestions!
The diamond mother/child pendant necklace by Jared for $599.99. I love this necklace, this will be my 2nd Mother's Day to a little tot named Journey. She brightens my day everyday, so everyday is Mother's Day to me!
If the diamond pendant necklace is a little pricey for you Jared offers other mother/childen pendants at more moderate prices and still offers that special style...check out this one for $94.99.
Now I'm no "REAL CHEF" in the kitchen but I do know how to make a couple of good dishes and I experiment alot. The most enjoying thing about cooking is cooking with natural raw herbs and like everyone else I keep my spices in a kitchen cabinet. The magnetic kitchen spice rack by Purposedesign (an Etsy seller) is a super idea for any organized mom who loves to cook. This spice rack comes with the 7 test tubes and 7 really good spices....such a deal for $45.00
Lastly, I love everything paper especially good stationary and if you have a mom that likes to jot down notes or just love everything paper also than DingbatPress (an etsy seller) is whom you would love to purchase stationary from. This shop offers all sorts of letterpress paper goods at reasonable prices without taking away from good quality paper designs. Below is my most loved favorite for $14.00

More Professional Pics from RonFredericks Studios
So here are the last of some professional pics of ExQuisiteInVitation's creations from the wedding of Tiffany & Nicholas.
The inVitation was a classic black and white two layer with damask backing and a white linen cardstock snuggled into a black pouchette. The inVitation was embellished with a swavorski crystal.
Since Tiffany and Nick was honeymooning in Paris the idea for the escort cards were to make them resemble postcards from Paris. On one side was the eiffel tower on the reverse was a section for guests to leave wishes for the Mr. & Mrs. and also their name and table number assignment. The postcards were wrapped with a hemp cord postal style and white pencils were attached with Tiffany and Nicks name and wedding date for the guests to have as apart of their favors. During the reception I collected all the postcards from the guests, wrapped them up and gave them to Tiffany so that she and Nick can take them with them to Paris and read....so special.
Tiffany wanted all white roses for her and her bridesmaid bo-k's, here I clustered 10 white roses for each bo-k and wrapped the stems with damask ribbon. Each bo-k was then placed into a bulb vase with little water for protection. At the reception the bo-k's were apart of the sweetheart table.
The toasting flutes came out sooooo great. I asked Tiffany if she already owned a nice pair of glasses in order to save money. She gave me a pair of simple flutes and I found some damask motif rub on's in clear so you would actually think that were made that way. The result, SIMPLE and FAB!
Again, to obtain the pure and look of simplicity the table centerpieces were low styled. All of the tables were decorated with different vases to each with white roses. The vases were placed on a circular mirrored glass and surrounded by votives.
