Here a few of my favorites from my sister-in-law's bridal session a couple of weeks ago.

I have a friend whose husband is deployed. I thought I would make her a gift to help the months pass a little quicker.
I read Tour of Duty:Preparing Our Hearts for Deployment several months ago. In this book, the author explains how with small children, it helps for them to have a visual countdown of when their family member will return home. A common example being a candy jar. Each day the child will take one piece of candy out. The remaining pieces will be the number of days left to wait.  However, I am all about equal opportunities. You don't have to be a child to have a candy jar! If my husband was deployed, you can bet money that I would have one of these.... for me!

This Christmas, don't forget about those that won't be able to spend Christmas with their loved ones because of their service to our country. Show them a little extra love this Christmas season!

I posted about these invites several months ago, but I wanted to post what the final printed invites look like.

I'm in the process of editing Shannon's bridal pictures from last week. Thought I would share one of my favorites so far.

Here's a sneak peek from Shannon's bridal session on Wednesday! Today is the BIG day! Bryan and Shannon are getting married! Woo-hoo!!!

I have a friend who LOVES coffee! I found this cute idea and graphic at eighteen25. I changed it a little because the Starbucks giftcard was for a graduation, not a thank you present. But I loved the idea so much, I had to use it!
Gift cards make great Christmas presents! And fun paper/holders make them even better. :)

It was so much fun designing these programs for Shannon & Bryan's wedding. I can't wait for their big day...only 2 more days.

I dropped this painting off yesterday at First Choice Pregnancy Services for their Silent Auction this weekend. If you're in the Las Vegas area, go check it out!

I love our home. It's spacious, nice, and I can paint walls any color I would like (something I didn't have in our last home). However, there is one little space that drives me crazy!!! The wall dividing our dining room from our living room and kitchen has a thermostat on it. The thermostat is off-centered, boxy, and an eye sore. I'm sure I would feel differently if it wasn't seen by everyone who comes into our home.

I thought of a plan to "fix" this. No, didn't move the thermostat. I just covered it up....with MAIL. I LOVE getting mail, and I keep cards and letters that are sent to me. There is something special about words written on paper... I just can't explain it.

I bought an ugly canvas with a beautiful frame at a thrift store a couple of months ago (I'll have to post the before picture later). It has been patiently sitting in our garage until I figured out what I wanted to do with it.

Here it is!!!!
Old frame, picture wire, and clothes pins. Love it! And that's a wedding invitation covering up the ugly thermostat.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Actually, I kind of like it a little more than Christmas. I feel it's the holiday that gets looked past. Everyone gets hyped up about Halloween (my least favorite holiday) and then immediately starts decorating for Christmas. I love that Thanksgiving is a time to remember what we are truly thankful for....we should be thankful all the time!
In celebration of Thanksgiving, I have a few items on sale at RCP. I'm THANKful for loyal clients, so I thought I should GIVE a little savings. Cheesy? Yes, I know!
