I'm back...

...but i've been hiding out under a mountain of paper - at least it's pretty paper.

We had a wonderful time on our family vacation in the Bahamas. It was a much needed getaway for all of us. We had hoped to come home to nicer weather, but no such luck. Oh well, hopefully soon.

Thank you to all my wonderfully understanding clients for the "pause" in the invitation process, it's much appreciated.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...have a great week!

oh, and a photo from the trip just for fun :)

Out of the office

Heading out on a family vacation plus some relaxation/catch up time.

I'll be back in the office on February 23rd. Any voice messages or emails will be returned at that time.

Also, i'm now fully booked for weddings up until the August 15th weekend.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Valentine's day!

Happy New Year!

I'm back at work as of today, although sticking to my resolution of taking it easy this year. With that said, my schedule is now almost fully booked unitl the end of September. There are a few openings here and there for July, August and September, but they will fill up fast. I'm now fully booked for weddings up until the end of June.

If you are getting married in 2010 - congratulations! I will begin booking appointments for 2010 weddings starting in September of this year.

Once again, I will not be at the wedding show this year - so viewing my work is done by appointment only.

Wishing everyone a wonderful new year!

Once again, studio hours will remain by appointment only with times available being:

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Wow, it's hard to believe that a week ago we were out for walk, enjoying such beautiful weather, and today i am looking out my window at a blanket of white. The feeling that the holidays and the new year are near is every where and i am starting to feel very much in the holiday mood, especially now that i've gotten over my traditional first flu of the season. As i reflect back on 2008, i am blessed to have had such wonderful clients. One of the best parts of this job is the opportunity to meet new people at a time that is so important and special to them. I take so much from that experience.

Today i am organizing the thank you cards that have been coming in from some of my clients from 2008. The kind words definitely put a big smile on my face. Here are snippets from a few more recent ones.

Dear Bela,
Thank you very much for helping us make our wedding day so memorable. Your stationery was so beautiful and elegant and helped make our dream wedding into a reality. It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for all your time and effort.
