Playing Catch Up!

The Etsy shop has been closed for the holidays, all of the holiday card orders have been shipped, my Christmas shopping is done and all of the presents are wrapped....

...aside from a couple of batches of fudge & cookies to make, I'm officially ready for the holiday weekend! =)

Now that things are finally quieting down around here (for the first time since, well, last holiday season), I've had time to catch up on some of my favorite things. First and foremost being my blog roll! I have so many fabulous blogs to read, and so little time.

I always love sharing my favorite blogs, so here are a few of my favorite ones that I've caught up on from the last few weeks....

STYLE SECTION

Do you follow the fashionably fabulous Jessica Quirk on What I Wore? You DON'T?! Well, you really should. =)

I am in awe of her effortless style, and love when she offers up fabulous tips on the perfect outfit or easy updates to your wardrobe. Today's blog features tips straight from her new book, advising on how to easily update your closet for 2012 - take a look!

AROUND THE HOUSE

At my house, we're currently working on a couple of bathroom remodeling projects....which has now inspired me to revamp a handful of other rooms in the house! I now find myself seeking out home decor & home improvement blogs to add to my blog roll. My latest favorites are Material Girls and The Inspired Room.
(Which also reminds me....I need to put a trip to Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel on my calendar for next Monday. Can't wait to check out their post-holiday sales!)

LOCAL NEWS

This goes to show just how far behind I am on my blog reads! How did I miss this awesome post by Snappening, detailing some fabulous Super Bowl party ideas? From the perfect venue in Indianapolis to party activities to the perfect invitation, it is chock full of great ideas.

(...and thanks to Snappening for mentioning us in the article!)

An action-packed week!

Talk about an action-packed week, both in and out of the studio!

First off, if you've been keeping an eye on our Facebook page and/or our Etsy shop, you've probably noticed some new designs & products popping up! Needless to say, we couldn't be more excited about our new round menu cards, reception signage, wrap-around address labels, and new wedding invitation designs! They've been long in the works, and they are the first of many new additions to our product line this wedding season...so stay tuned. =)


We also recently lent our design expertise to the lovely folks over at Snappening, as they prepare for their next event - their official Launch Party! We can't wait to attend this event, taking place in the breathtaking D'Amore space on the Chase Tower's 48th floor. If you're a professional who is in any way involved in event planning, this is definitely an event to add to your calendars - but be sure to RSVP! {Not familiar with Snappening? You can read all about them here.}


And of course, through all of the new designs & industry events, we're still churning out fabulous custom invitations, graduation announcements & other stationery. So keep an eye on our Facebook page for sneak peeks at our latest custom design work. =)

Snappening: Indy's new event planning resource!

Planning a wedding, shower, reunion, or other event in Central Indiana?

Then you MUST check out Indy's new virtual resource - Snappening!

After hearing quite a bit of buzz about this resource among the Indy event planning circle, I knew I wanted to learn more. I had the pleasure of actually attending one of Snappening's industry receptions on Tuesday - where they filled us in on how easy they'll be making it for Indy-area consumers to search for venues & professional planners.

And it's not just for consumers, either! With their planning dashboard {complete with calendars, address books, and easy access to their Advertising/PR partners}, professional planners & venue managers will also benefit from the site.

So forget the exhaustive searches via the online search engines {that oftentimes yield irrelevant results}! Snappening is the latest and greatest resource for finding Indy's best venues and professional planners for your next event. =)

Check it out!
