Company logo design

Now that the wedding festivities are over (finally got our thank you cards out - post coming soon!), I am back in the saddle and ready to blog again!

Last spring a family friend, Liz, started a custom pet bed business. She asked for some help coming up with a catchy name and so after tossing a bunch of ideas out there, I came up with "Pawp Star". Pretty cute, huh? Afterwards they attended a trade show in Orange County and I had to come up with a logo for them. I had 5 or so designs but ultimately Liz chose this design which came out nicely on their business card. They created a large banner sign showing the logo too. Needless to say they were a big hit!



Thanks to my husband Mark for taking such great pictures of the beds! :)

Riiiiiiiiiiiings!

It has been tough keeping up with the blog since invitations took over my life for about 3 weeks. The fun is not even over either! We have many missing RSVPs some of which meant that certain people didn't even get the invite! Oy. We'll post invites soon... In the meantime, yesterday we went shopping for rings in downtown LA at the Jewelry District.
I knew I wanted something low profile that was micropave or delicate at the very least. No monster bands for me! Mark preferred rings with some unique quality....


Here is what I ended up getting (we both got rings from Icing on the Ring Here is mine, a little out of focus:
And Mark's ring in Palladium...

Can't wait to get LOST in the South Pacific

Yay, we finally have our honeymoon booked! Cook Islands here we come! Mark took on the daunting task of picking a location. Too many choices, but I think he did a fabulous job.


I am a huge LOST fan so going to the South Pacific was a great choice. Maybe I will find the island! Oh wait, that's right...John Locke and Ben moved it! Hee hee



Anyway, after this wedding planning 12 nights away will be so freakin' fabulous, I can't even tell you. We will spend 7 nights in Rarotonga...
And then 5 nights in Aitutaki which will be AMAZING! The Aitutaki Lagoon looks so surreal...

Can we just skip the wedding part and go right to the honeymoon? :)

I *heart* eBay

These puppies came in the mail yesterday and I have to say that I was thrilled. Can you believe I won these for $8.50? (No one bid against me). I have never had so much eBay luck! :) In fact, it cost more to ship them to me from Illinois. Needless to say, this is one wedding bargain I will relish in for quite some time. More times than not it feels like "wedding bargain" is an oxymoron, especially if you're getting married in Los Angeles!

Flippin' and a Floppin'

So wedding shoes are not coming along so hot. The nice aqua shoes I found at Zappos (see previous post) was a little too big on the strap part. Really cute, but if I went down a half size, it'd probably be uncomfortable. Mark was a little taken aback by the aqua color in the first place...to which I responded, "You are not going to see it anyway!" This statement got me thinkin'...it's the end of August should I just go with flip flops? Bling it up a little then be done with it!??

At Long Last...the Save the Date Cards for Public Viewing

The envelopes matched the aqua waves perfectly! I only hope the invitations turn out just as nice! Letterpress is so very beautiful.

Are you KIDDING me??!!!

They may be only $18 each but I don't know anyone who "budgeted" for Wedding Toe Rings. Give me a friggin' break!! By the way, I apologize for the feet in your face. :) LOL
