Going to bed last night….
Me to Troy: ” Did you realize that you’ll be over 50 years old when Emma graduates from high school??”
Troy: “Yeah, I guess.”
Me: “That seems like FOREVER from now…I don’t think I can wait til you’re 50 to go on a “parents only” vacation!! We need to plan a trip somewhere!!”
Troy:” Oh, Beck I have dozens of trips planned!”
Me:” Really…. like where… when?”
Troy: “ummmmmm… like in a few weeks we could go out to dinner and you know…. (pause) Aren’t we getting a new Netflix DVD soon?”
Me: “Yeah… I need to save my pennies so we can go back to Tahiti one of these years!!!”
I know how much Adria loves this color combination.. it’s a little whimsical, and vintage all rolled into one. Business letterpress printing is crazy busy right now… more to share soon!

Love these succulent ideas from Lollipop Events!
Much to our delight one of our Sugar Plum Key West letterpress wedding sets was included in a YWD magazine editorial:-) We’re so happy! Your Wedding Day can be picked up in Barnes & Noble and Borders!
We’re blushing, it’s amazing to see our work in print!!!!
We just completed a new letterpress printed wedding set for a Florida beach themed event. These were printed on 100% rag cotton paper with blueberry ink and dark grey ink!
I love this outer envelope and reply envelope printing!
Custom maps are so unique and look better than a google map! We designed and letterpress printed this one with written directions at the bottom. You can order extra maps to include in out of town bags, or have extras at the ceremony the day of, to direct guests to the reception! Have a wonderful weekend. More print projects to share next week!
Today is Troy’s birthday.. and even though we are all under the weather I thought we could walk down memory lane…
At the beach together…. no one is as cool as “da-da”.Before kids.. hiking in the Na Pali Coast of Kauai during Troy’s b-day week…
Eating lunch at a local market in Venice, Italy on Troy’s birthday another year. (Sorry hon, nothing so exciting this year!)
Running for charity with friends:)
Building a car in the garage.. completed maybe by 2030.
Jimmy, Troy’s long time friend.. that somehow manages to come over around dinner time.
Baking while we were dating at my parents house.
The weekend we “officially” started dating… here we are at Troy’s ex-girlfriends wedding… how do you say “awkward!”
Troy’s cube at work.. Halloween.. one scary looking Dorothy!
Family pic.. Troy in Jr. High:-)

Thanks for walking down memory lane!! I love you… may we have another 65+ birthday’s to celebrate.

As soon as we get home from our week+ vacation the three of us all come down with colds. Emma is teething as well poor thing!! These days I smell like Vick’s vapor rub:( Of course at the same time, Troy and I (Troy mostly) spent a romantic evening trying to clean out/fix the dishwasher. When it rains it pours. Hopefully I can share pics of our whirlwind of a trip and Emma’s first plane ride!

Succluents have become oh-so chic these days, from outdoor landscape design, to adding a fresh, modern touch to weddings. Here are some of my favorites!
