There's a first time for everything

I got LAYOUT OF THE DAY at SISTV. Check it out here!

Even cooler than that, Renee and I are BOTH on the Catwalk this week! So weird and great! Check us out HERE!

Pretty exciting...

Still scrapping strong - which is such a good feeling.

We spent last weekend cleaning the house and on Friday I finally got to my studio - did a huge cleaning. Lovely to have everything organized and in its own place.

Saturday mom and I went back to a Long Beach hotel to do a walk-thru - I think we've made our decision, but I still have a ton of questions for the coordinator.

Yesterday I stayed with Laela until 2 (lovely girl, she bought me donuts!), relaxed at home for a bit, then went out for some much needed sushi with some friends.

I leave you with some layouts done this past weekend. Have a great Monday!

It's Back

Finally!

I've been scrapping like crazy the last couple of nights - it's so nice to be back into it...







This last one is a page lift from Rachel
It's definitely my favorite so far.

More to come (I hope!)

Here's the buzz

Hello, out there...
Here's what's new with Candice...

We went camping last weekend.
Got some shootin' on - I have proven to be a good shot at the start of the session, and sloppy after about 10 minutes... I have a short attention span, I guess.


You may notice the lobsteresqe shoulders I've got going on in this picture... oh the sun was-a-beatin' down on us!

Little birdies under the 5th wheel - waiting for some food from mama...

Eating good watermelon on a hot hot day - so nice!

Back home, my studio is turning out to be quite a site - ground zero for Hurricane Candice...


Wade finally put up this awesome picture we got from Jeanna and Russ - It's about the fireplace and I LOVE it!


Falling in love (again) with polaroids - we take pictures of everyone that walks in the door (as you can see, we don't get that many visitors...)

That's about all that's going on - we are going to Long Beach this Saturday to check out some hotels for the wedding - I'll post more pics then.

(oh, and as a side note, my etsy shop is dying... Haven't had a sale in almost a month! I may have to close it down - very sad as I've only been in business for about 6 months, but I guess the feltie craze is over. I suppose I could be doing more ACTIVE things to promote the shop, but in all honesty, I am kind of over it. I'm thinking I'll wait until the listings are going to expire and then have a HUGE sale... we'll see how it goes.)

Random Photos...

May 05 - PHOTO HEAVY!

Here is a layout I did recently...


Finally finished my wedding planner...

Lots of dividers - which I love!

This is Wade and I have been doing every night after dinner - sitting out on the front porch (usually there's a fire in the chiminea)...

Went camping a couple of weekends ago...

Goofed around with perspective a bit - I look HUGE!

Went with my mom last weekend to check out venues in Newport Beach. Nothing terribly fantastic in my opinion... next outing will be to check out Long Beach venues...

Some GORGEOUS flowers they had in the lobby of one of the hotels. Gave mom the idea to make something similar for centerpieces... I love love love the colors and the mod-simplicity of the whole thing...

That's about all for now (of course, I've been playing scrabble on facebook like crazy... I'll need an intervention pretty soon...)

Have a great week!

PS. who is the "k" that left me a comment yesterday? identify yourself! Is it you? Or you?

7 years and counting...

Today is our 7 year anniversary! I can't believe it...

Here is a little clear mini-book I made for Wade:


Have a great weekend, all!

Some pictures - Old and New

Got a new scanner for my birthday - here's an old picture of our small little family back in the day:


This picture was taken about a year into our relationship - he's trying to push me off the cliff...
And here are some new pictures of Otis - he's helping me in my quest to fight perfection. Such a good dog!

It's True

Thanks so much for all your comments, ladies! Yes, I am engaged!!! WOO HOO!

There is SO much crap I have to do to prepare - I am the last of me and my sisters to get hitched, so my mom is pretty happy to be finally rid of me, I'm sure!

*** I want to apologize in advance for what I'm sure will be an influx of WEDDING crap on my blog - I hope you guys don't get too bored with me!***

That's all for now - Have a great week!
