Colleen and Dave are two of the coolest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling clients.  We have entirely too much in common to be coincidence, so I blame it on fate that they found me.  How many ferret loving, Rock Band playing, Ford Probe owners could there possibly be in a 100 mile radius?  Ok, technically the Probe isn’t mine – it’s Marc’s, but still.  I USED to own one and there’s still one in my driveway, so I say it counts.    OH, and our wedding colors were the SAME – pink and green.  Eerie.  I think Colleen and I were sisters in another life.  Anyway, Colleen and Dave had their wedding at The Mill at Spring Lake Heights in NJ and despite the rain, it was an amazing day.  Lots of fun people, lots of color and lots of love.  Check out the photos…

Carlo’s Bakery, from TLC’s Cake Boss, worked their confectionery magic on the cake.

You guys rock!  Thanks so much for an amazing experience and for being such awesomely creative people. 

Really?  Is it truly November?  Wow.  This year is flying by.  I can’t even believe it.  October went by faster than a blink of an eye it seems.

Things have been delightfully busy around here….SO busy, in fact, that I’ve neglected my poor poor blog and it’s wonderful readers.  My apologies.  After an insane month of October , preceded by an even more insane month of September (beaucoup weddings, album designs, illnesses, teaching, birthdays, etc), I’m happy to announce that blogging will resume this week.    Thanks so much for your patience with me and my blog.  I can’t wait to share all the really great stuff that’s been going on lately!  Stay tuned!  For now, here’s a couple Halloween photos of me and the hubster.

**Oh and can I just say I am sooooo excited to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon in 10 days!!!  Who’s with me??
