Remembering 9/11 - Do your loved ones know you love them?
September 11, 2009
On this anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, as we are honoring all the heroes and remembering those who lost their lives on that tragic day, do you think about your loved ones and wonder if they will know how much you love them even after you are gone?
I used to wonder, but I don’t wonder anymore. I am confident that they will know because I am taking measures to make sure they know. Using this amazing online greeting card system, I am able to create cards and letters to my loved ones and then have them sent out at a later date. (Real, PRINTED greeting cards sent through the US Postal Service, NOT ecards!) With this system, I can even create custom cards using my own photos in a snap.
We purchase life insurance to provide for our loved ones financially, but how many of us make preparations to provide for our loved ones emotionally in the event that tragedy strikes.
Do you have words of wisdom you’d like to give to your child or to a younger brother or sister when they become teenagers… and when they fall in love… or when they get their heart broken? You don’t have to wait. You can write down those words of wisdom now and have them delivered on a specific date in the future.
So, as you are planning your wedding, plan for the future as well.

Butterfly Wedding Invitation Design and Ideas
June 10, 2009
Butterflies make a great wedding theme not only because of their beautiful colors and unique shape, but also because of their symbolism. The butterfly is most commonly viewed as a symbol of new life because it goes through three stages of life— the caterpillar (birth), the chrysalis or cocoon (death) and the butterfly (resurrection.) Butterflies can also represent change, transition, transformation, celebration, joy, beauty, love and freedom.
Butterflies are very easy to incorporate into every part of your wedding from the invitation to the wedding ceremony to the reception.
I will start with wedding invitation ideas and then present wedding ceremony and reception ideas in subsequent posts.
Pink Lacy Butterfly Wedding Invite
The trend in wedding invitations is now for invitations to very colorful with text that is not all centered but left-aligned or right-aligned or both, with modern designs that seem to fall off the edge of the paper. My Lacy Butterflies Pocket Wedding Invitation contains all of these elements, which explains why it has been so popular this year, especially for Spring and Summer weddings.
Here is what one client had to say about her Tiffany Blue and Peach Lacy Butterfly pocket wedding invitations:
“Thank you, thank you! We are working feverishly to get the invites out in today’s mail. They look terrific; I’ll send one to you for your book of collections…” —Ashley Johnson
It is shown here in the two most popular color combinations of tiffany blue & peach, and also in a range of different shades of pink— from hot pink to a medium rose pink to a light baby pink.

My Fav Photo Graduation Announcements
June 9, 2009
My daughter graduated from high school this year and we had so much fun getting her senior pictures done and then creating her graduation announcements together. I make no apologies to the fact that this is my very favorite photo graduation announcement. We chose pictures that showed off her unique style and personality. We added one of her favorite sayings: “Peace • Love • Idalou.” And since she likes fleur-de-lis, we used a decorative fleur-de-li ornament in a color that matched her photos to add some flair to the announcement. She also chose her favorite fonts that reflect her style. We were very pleased with the final result and she received lots of compliments on them.
