reader question of the week #2:

"My husband and I both turn 30 this year- and I really want to plan something special for him/us. We are military, USAF, and have just moved- so we are away from friends and family. I'm sure we'll have some close friends nearby by the time our birthdays arrive, but I don't want to force a big party with a lot of people we sort-of-know and kind-of-like. I could really use some creative ideas to pull close friends and family together across the world to wish him/us a happy celebration. Here's a few things about us: 1) We met in Brussels while working for our church; 2) We have 2 kids- one boy, one girl; 3) He loves Bruce Lee, Arnold Schwarzenneger, Paul Rudd, movies, games; 4) I love running, sewing, Paul Rudd, games, violin; 5) We live in New Mexico, in the desert, now. Any help you could give us would be so appreciated. Thanks! -Dayna"

reader question of the week #1:

"I have a daughter who is about to turn three. She told me she wants a 'guitar' birthday party. I thought that was a pretty fun theme, but unfortunately for her, I am not nearly creative as the people on your blog. I need some cute ideas for cake table decorations, party favors, etcetera. Anything along the lines of music/guitar! Thanks! -Stacy"

rifle design

I'm sure I'm late in the game discovering the brilliance of Rifle Design. I adore the illustrative style, and was thrilled to see she (Anna Bond) is an Orlando resident (just outside my hometown of Winter Park, FL). She even designed a whole suite of wedding items for a Winter Park wedding...the ceremony took place at my rehearsal dinner site. I love making those connections- sometimes the world feels so small!
