Here is this week’s giveaway!
(Which I meant to post earlier in the week but time just got away from me!)
Leave a comment to this post and you could win a yummy bar of Coconut Banana Olive Oil Soap and soap dish from South Pacific Body. I am addicted to SPB’s products, especially the coconut lotion and shower souffles — they smell amazing and are ten times better than anything you can buy in a store. You have until Monday evening to post a comment, good luck!

Here is a sneak peek at the next giveaway, which will be posted for entries sometime next week. I can promise you that it makes a great gift, but you will probably end up keeping it for yourself!

Original Post:
Forgive me, it has been loooong while since my last post!

Most of my attention and free time has been going to the tiny details of my spring and summer weddings *breathe* and I am now diving into fall! My brides know that I am working hard, even though there maybe a day or two lapse in between emails! For that I apologize. As for 2009 weddings, I am only designing for a few, as I plan on moving into a new studio by the end of the year. Until then, it would be too hard for me to take on many more jobs until I am settled!

So, here some updates for the year:
• I will not be a vendor at Strange Folk, but I hope to see you all there anyway!
• There will be a line of notecards added to my Etsy shop, but that has been postponed for a little while longer.
• The new gallery for my website is still being updated, but you can visit www.beyonddesign.etsy.com for more photos
• Once settled after the move, I will be back to designing with fervor!

This leads me to some exciting news: my first Giveaway!
Since I have been scrambling to stay organized this year, I thought the Wedding Guest Organizer seemed appropriate!
