I should probably fess up. During our 2012 planning meeting, I pretty much insisted that we do a Navajo themed kit.
More often than not these days, you'll find me glued to my computer perusing wedding, home decor, and beauty blogs. I'm pretty much addicted. During the last couple of months I had noticed an overwhelming Navajo-inspired trend on fashion, home decorating, and even wedding blogs. I

Harry hopes you have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
He's obviously adorable, but pretty much the worst Christmas-Tree-Decorating-Helper you'll ever meet. If licking ornaments and chasing feathers was part of the process, he'd be your guy. Thank God for egg nog.

But, never fear! I do have something that is sure to help you have a very Happy Holiday season.

It has realllly been awhile since I've done one of these. To be honest, the wedding plans have kind of taken a back seat for the last few months - but after the Holidays it's going to be full speed ahead! My wonderful friend Jacqueline did take some engagement pictures in October, and here's one of my favorites:
But, back on task, I read this article today at theknot.com (my most favorite wedding

I know Thanksgiving is a little far off - but I was extra grateful during my nice, long walk with my puppy Harry last night. Of course by walk I mean him stopping every three seconds to either sniff something, eat an ant, or chase a blowing leaf . . . but I digress. I took a few pictures and wanted to share just a couple of the reasons why I love autumn so much.
1) Crisp, clean air mixed with the

Now, I know this will probably come as a HUGE surprise to you, but things don't always go as planned around here at the Clubhouse :) However - we don't get discouraged. We pull up our sleeves and "Make it work!"
I had asked my friend Carole Desaulniers from Henderson, NV to create some pretty cards for the Stamp Rap - and the USPS failed to deliver them in a timely fashion (which is a long and

Hi folks! 10 months and counting until the big day . . . and still lots of details to figure out.
I thought the hair would be a nice, easy thing to pick out. . . boy was I wrong. Did I mention how indecisive I am?
And then I had a revelation! I have an amazing stylist and friend named Destiny (she's the cutest in the world) who has been cutting my hair for years, so my official decision is to

There are two very important things that you need to know about me. In this order:
1. I was born on the 4th of July and I am proud to be an American.
2. I love my Green Bay Packers.
Now, I know not everyone is a football fan - but bear with me here.
Attending the opening game of the NFL season at Lambeau Field last night was one of the most wonderfully American experiences of my life. There was

Now, I wasn't aware of this . . . but the moment you get engaged there are a few things that happen that you don't really see coming. Well, I certainly didn't.
#1: You are suddenly very aware of how terribly, horribly gross your nails are because everyone is grabbing at your hands all the time. You want to run and get a manicure every day even though you've never had more than 3 manicures in

So, I'm not sure if you're aware - but it is tragically, unbearably, unbelievably H-O-T here in Wisconsin. I heard this morning that it is officially the hottest day of the year - as if yesterday was any cooler. Heat wave! But it's not, as they say, the heat - it's that gosh darn humidity! When you walk outside you literally feel like you're walking through a piping hot bowl of oatmeal. That's
