Reasons I {heart} itunes

Genius is the word. It's a fairly new automated do-hicky used to gather information about your likes listed in your itunes library. It sorts playlists you might like depending on the genre of music you listen to. How amazing is that?? All you have to do is select a song, and this genius figures the rest out for you. 

This is also a fantastic way to find new faves for your wedding playlists! Check it out, you might be pleasantly surprised with the results!

Genius picked out my first playlist based on my DMB selection and I'm LOVING it..

Here are a couple tunes selected for the playlist

DMB - Stay (wasting time)

Counting Crows - Hanginaround

John Mayer - Why Georgia

Jack Johnson -Flake

G.Love & Tristan Prettyman - Beautiful

David Gray - Babylon

Goo Goo Dolls - Here is Gone

Ray Lamontagne - Three more days

Space Hog - in the meantime

Fleetwood Mac - Go your own way

Jack Johnson - Broken

Jason Mraz - you and I both

I could see myself busting a few moves to these...

DIY night: The Photoshop Edition

So while everyone else in the world is out partying their friday night pants off, I like to stay at home and be a stick in the mud with the pupster.. I know.. riveting.

But, tonight the boy is out of the house, so I have to find ways to keep my mind pre-occupado. It's only friday night.. I'm already bored.. hmmm.. anyways I'm so glad I started playing around with photoshop tonight. I was inspired by a great invitation idea with photobooth images on flickr.. Unfortunately, the images were taken down..

so I thought I'd create something fun.. a little friday night DIY if you will.

4 photo booth shots (on a magnet strip with a red backing)

laid over marigold card stock

wrapped with a band of light green cello/clear paper

(with monogram maybe?)

Flip the card over to view invitation details It's still a work in progress..

j'adore...

Martha Friday: Save the dates

Martha always leaves me some what perplexed... there are always some really fantastic ideas on her site. But the problem with most of them is if you try to create them in mass quantities, you might not make it past item #3 in the working line.

Don't get me wrong. The projects dreamed up by these people are pretty impressive.. I just don't see myself sitting down and spending weeks working on hand painted papermache party favors that will most likely end up being tossed in the trash (unless your mom hangs on to it)

But out of the hundreds of thousands of great looking ideas, there are a few doables you can make and will be much less expensive to do than getting it done professionally..

I can totally see this being doable...

Sticker save the dates. Maybe with a photobooth photo sticker instead?

It's amazing how friends and family can come together and create something magical. It puts my mind at ease to know that they are there for us no matter what.

This story almost brought me to tears... god, I'm such a girl.

Just a peek..

After a long journey, we are finally back home from sunny Cayo Coco, Cuba. We couldn't have been happier for our friends, and we were blessed with such beautiful weather. It was pretty awesome to witness such a spectacle.

Before I go into more details about this wedding (save that for another post), I thought I'd leave you with a little taste of things to come.

**side note for the bride**

don't worry, I'll save the best for this weekend, friend.

This is love..
