My Amazing Day At InvenTORI

Today was such an exciting day. I got to go to Tori and Dean's InvenTORI shop to deliver the last batch of cards. These "Thank You" cards from our "Autumn Wishes" Collection turned out so pretty. They were a lot of work but totally worth it.  Hope all the cards sell well!



But to our delighted surprise, when we arrived, there were camera crews and interviews taking place. Apparently, Tori was there doing some promotional interviews for their reality show, "Home Sweet Hollywood." At first, we were a little unsure of how to enter the shop because of all the lights, cameras and action! I didn't want to mess up the taping! But we got in there and were able to look around while all this was going on. We didn't get to see or meet Tori but it was fun to know she was there along with some other recognizable entertainment reporters.

I was able to meet the store staff that we had been doing business with over these few weeks. Oh, I felt like we were old friends. They were so warm and personable. And the shop... ADORABLE! The type of items they sell are wonderful and the store itself is very cozy and stylish. This store has two sides and a quaint courtyard in between. Can't wait to go back so I can see the full store. If you are in the So. California area it is definitely worth the visit. InvenTORI

So here is a look at our fun day.

Lovely staff!

Ron and I so proud of our card "babies."


Don't our cards look great there?

Also, Lisa Rinna's shop, "Belle Gray" was a few doors down. I went in there and they had some very amazing fashions. I loved the shoes and the purses. Fabulous! So this whole little area was filled with fun and unique shops. Great area to park, shop and enjoy!


Thanks for sharing my day! It was a blast!

    Ah, Kelly, this is the icing on the cake. I watched something about the store on one of the channels last night. Maybe it was being taped while you were there. Looked like a fun shop. I had to brag to DH that I have a friend who sells her cards there!! Congrats to you. And yes, your cards look wonderful.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS.  I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps  Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child.   I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out.  All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats.   I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too.        Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
