Wedding Cakes

For awhile there, I had taken a break from all the wedding planning. Lately though, I've had wedding planning on the brain. Perhaps, because I just received my fabulous Save the Date cards, from my designer, The Paper Stylist. Hopefully, I will be able to mail them out this weekend. So excited for all my guests to receive them!!!!
Oh, I also get to work from home tomorrow, as the FI is in town visiting. Unfortunately, I have a huge ToDoList, which needs to be completed by this Friday. Ugh! What can you do, at least I have a job in this bad economy and will be getting paid for the holidays. So, I can't really complain. But I'm sure I will be able to squeeze in some wedding planning during my work hours ;)...which reminds me I need to pick up some labels and stamps. Darn, I knew I should have taken a few labels from work. he he he.
Anyway, here are a few photos of wedding cakes that I simply adore. Still looking for more cake designs. Ideally, I would like to create something simple, yet something that still has that stunning wow factor. What do you guys think?

Love the flowers and the simple monogram.

Love the ribbons and flowers on the cake.

A similar cake as the one above, except they used Orchids.

Save The Dates

****UPDATE****

Anne sent me a picture of my Save the Dates, so I could blog about them. So sweet of her! So here is the final product! What do you guys think?! J'adore them!! I just know she's going to do an awesome job on my invitations. For those who are looking for invitation design or anything else related to paper designs, I can highly recommend the The Paper Stylist .


I received an email from The Paper Stylist last night, my Save the Date cards are ready!! Woohoo! Can't wait to pick them up from Anne! Anne is super talented and so creative! I will blog more about them once I receive them. Check out her blog!

Make Room For Santa

This past Sunday, I ran my 2nd 5k race. As you all know, I'm a novice when it comes to running. But just recently joined a running group to get in shape. Although I had my first 5k run on. Thanksgiving Day, this race was the official race for all the 101 runners, for the A Snails Pace running group.
Naturally, I was still super anxious to run another 5k and potentially running the race in the rain, which I was not looking forward to. Thankfully, it did not rain, but it was still freezing cold. When I left my house in the morning the thermometer displayed a whooping 37 degrees. I even had ice on my windshield. My goal for this race was to shave off at least 10 min from my previous time. And I succeeded!!!! I ran the race under 35min.
Drum roll please....my time was 33:50. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of me just yet. But the wife of my running coach took some pictures, so hopefully I will be able to get my hands on those pictures. So no pictures in this post. However, my next goal is to successfully complete a 10k in April. Training with my running group begins in January. Can't wait to begin!

Tis the Season

I took pictures with good ol' Santa Clause!! I was at the Mall during my lunch, walked by Santa and thought: What the heck, why not take a picture with Santa =) Who says I'm too old for Santa. Ha Ha Ha!!
