so i came up for air after 2 really intense, exhausting, AMAZING days. jamie and i have been going non-stop. we are so thrilled by what the daily candy post has done for our brand new business. thank you for all of your kind emails and comments. sorry if i haven't replied. i am just incredibly overwhelmed. so much so, that i didn't even notice that the issue of small magazine that i worked on came out today. i really want to spend a bit of time sharing the photos with you and telling you about all of the amazing people that contributed to the shoot. i tried to post a list with links to their fantastic sites, but it didn't work and now i am crying because i am so tired and frustrated, and i really want you to see the list, but it just won't work, and i really think i just better go to sleep. i will post everything on monday. i promise. i think. yikes.
i wish every photo could have made it in, but i understand, the nice folks at small had to leave room for other people. i was getting a bit greedy. i have a ton of photos i want to show you from the shoot. i really hope i can get around to it. for now, you can just get started here.

The reason I am smiling right now!
I was dying to tell you, but I just wanted to make sure it was real before I did. Jamie and I (well, and ban.do, too) are featured on Daily Candy Everywhere today! How cool is that? Well, I'll tell you . . . Very, Very cool!

Frida
My friend Rachel surprised me with a book of Frida Kahlo photographs. Amazing! You should be jealous of me. I would be jealous of you. Oh yeah, it's called "I Will Never Forget You . . .Frida Kahlo to Nickolas Murray." If you want a copy of your own, I found one for you here. Happy Monday!

they're here!
hip hip hooray. after much stress, and just generally (and specifically) annoying stuff. the tags are here! hip hip hooray. oh wait. i already said that. i guess i'm just really excited.
also, not much more time on this giveaway, and you don't have to be a bride to enter. plus if you haven't been to snippet & ink, you should. it's a wonderful place.
