Girls Day Out!

I'm proud to say that I have such an amazing and beautiful friend dedicated to a foundation providing women with resources to empower themselves for a successful future.  I've known this girl since our days with the Study Abroad program through our Cal State schools.  We lived in Italy together, laughed, played, and got to know each other better throughout these years.  She has always had a huge heart and this time around, she's organizing a benefit for the Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters of LA presented by the LEAP foundation.  This isn't her full time job, so putting on an event like this just shows how dedicated she is to this organization!
It's an afternoon of spa treatments and shopping!  What more can a girl ask for? All in one place together!
Get your TICKETS now!

I'll also be there as a vendor!  I'll be there with boxes of stationery for you!  Letterpress and flat printed!

There will be spa treatments, food, and an array of shopping vendors!  As an added bonus, 20% of all my sales, as well as the other vendors that day, will be donated to the Big Brothers Big Sister LA...so come out and relax while supporting a good cause!  I'll be so happy to see you!!  I might just do a happy dance for you! :)

**REMEMBER TO GET YOUR TICKETS!**

bad jane, bad!

Lately I've been a horrible horrible blogger and haven't posted much!  Being busy is such a blessing and I grateful for all the work that has come my way this early in 2010!  But I think I need to manage my time better to blog regularly! eek!

After our photoshoot in early January, I was invited by Bonnie Tsang to join her, Adrienne Gunde, and Trini Randazzo for "Real Talk over Real Food".  It's being started by Bonnie Tsang as one of her own personal goals this year to meet people in our industry and discuss issues and questions within our industry.

It was such an eye opening experience with these talented ladies!  Check out the blog for the questions asked and our candid answers.  An added bonus of Bonnie's wonderful photography during our meeting!

(via utterlyengaged.com)

puppies and par-tay!

I am so blessed and excited for all the things going on in my life!  For one, we just moved into a gorgeous condo in LA!  We are now living in the windsor village of hancock park area...there's a park right across the street, bank at the top of the street and all the great LA eateries right at our fingertips!  I'm especially thankful for my hunky hunky who is working full time and yet, has the energy to put up with my shenanigans!  I know it's a longer drive than before so I'm really glad that he loves our new place and enjoys it!  We have so many things that we're going to do to make it our home so stay tuned!

NEXT:  Our little Everest...

did this with Juneau (our other rascal):

(yes, that is hunky hunky being silly and posing with his butt against those two...they're stuck because they just did the dirty dirty)

And had these:

puppies!!! 4 to be exact, but one died so we're left with 3.  They're the cutest rat looking puppies I've ever seen!!  They're 3 days old today, so we're super excited when they can open their eyes and play with us!

Next up...remember this post?  Well, after months of planning, it finally happened!  We were SO happy of the outcome and all the little details!  Here's to a great team! *muah* (imagine a "Dating Game" kinda kiss! lol!)
Nancy of So Happi Together pulled together an amazing shoot that lasted all day with TONS of great images!  Unfortunately, we can't show them yet but they are being edited as we speak...er...write!  Hopefully, these will be a feast for your eyes!!  Can you tell that I can hardly wait?

Then to bring things to a close....the Utterly Engaged team is throwing a huge 2010 kick off party!!  If you were unable to celebrate the New Year, just want to continue the celebration, getting married, engaged, or just a wedding enthusiast...this is DEFINITELY the party for you!  There are 14 teams of planners, florists, stationers, bakers, etc...that are formed to design a tablescape.  The team that I am going to collaborate with for the paper goods are Courtney of Joyful Weddings & Carissa of JL designs!  SUPER talented ladies that I'm humbled and honored to be a part of!
This friendly competition is a fun way to find the best of the best tablescape that goes along with the theme of the party.  If you want to see the theme or check out all the amazing tablescapes, make sure you register for a ticket and come!!  Bring you're friends, husbands, wives, fiance's!!  Also, if you're engaged and need to find vendors, this is the PERFECT party for you!
Hopefully, we see you all there and have a great time together!
