Aisle Walk With You

Nicole

2010-08-17T16:32:00.000-07:00

You know sometimes I just do so many of these that I lose track...which I guess is a good/bad thing!

Nicole had asked me to do an aisle runner, adding in a claddagh into the design, as well as a "Here Comes The Bride Banner". Well, she just emailed me professional pics from her day and until she sent them, I had forgotten (in all honesty I think I had shipped them out before I had a chance to take pictures for my own files). Congratulations to Nicole and Anthony!

Jeneane

2010-08-17T06:54:00.000-07:00

Jeneane was another reference from the ever wonderful Cathy at For Your Event Planning. Jeneane wanted an aisle runner painted with her invitation monogram, as well as a "Just Married" parasol and a "Mr. & Mrs." banner. I love her monogram!

Congratulations to Jeneane and Marion!

Chandra

2010-08-17T06:48:00.000-07:00

First off, my apologies, its been a long while since I've updated this thing! But with a new job and longer hours, its hard keeping up with everything, on top of my photography which is something i'm also focusing on.

Here is an aisle runner I did for Chandra, designing it myself in her colors of a silver gray and purple. Congratulations to Chandra and Gregory!

Audrie is a friend of mine whom I've known for many years! She contacted me because she was interested in a parasol for her daughter's christening. I had a fuchsia colored parasol and added some butterflies (the theme of the party). Congratulations to Audrie and the whole family!

2009-08-18T19:56:00.000-07:00

I have been fortunate enough to meet some great ladies on a message board that I participate. We had decided to, as a group, do a craft exchange amongst one another. Many of the ladies are talented artists, crocheters and do scrap booking. So I was a bit lost as to what to do, since all the girls are married. Its not like they would need a parasol or aisle runner, so I thought and thought and thought. This is what I came up with....

New website!

2009-08-03T16:19:00.000-07:00

I finally have an Aisle Walk With You website launched. Be sure to stop by for a visit!

Lisa is the niece of Margie, one of my best friends (and was also one of my bridesmaids). When Margie found out that Lisa was engaged, she asked if I would do a runner for her and handed me a design that was done by Lisa's fiance. I was blown away! Ryan is a tattoo artist and created this design as an insert in their invitations.

Congratulations to Lisa and Ryan!!

2008-10-18T05:51:00.000-07:00

Connie was a referral from Limor at Koru Event Design. Connie wanted me to paint a parasol, using a design from the invitations designed by Limor. I thought it was such an original idea and was excited for the opportunity. The parasol came out gorgeous! Congratulations to Connie!

Sorry!

2008-09-25T07:40:00.000-07:00

I have LOTS of projects that I need to post on here, but I want to apologize for the delay. I've been busy now that my final semester of classes has started but I promise to get up my items real soon.

So in the meantime, I'll post my runner I did for myself. I noticed I never posted my own wedding runner. The quote painted is from a Roy Croft poem.

“I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.

Tricia is actually an old friend of mine. We met back in 1995 doing this insane activity called drum corps....Anyway, when Tricia found out that I do runners, she asked me to do one for her and I was very excited for the opportunity to create something for her.

Congratulations to Tricia & Thomas!

2008-09-03T20:19:00.000-07:00

Saddness

2008-08-01T14:33:00.000-07:00

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

Rest in peace papa.

3/6/1938 - 8/1/2008

My Father

2008-07-30T20:07:00.001-07:00

My father as of today (its 11:07 on Wednesday night) has been in the hospital for 3 weeks. His condition has been deteriorating and today he was given his last rites.

I feel I need to to share my memories of him and maybe help ease what I'm feeling right now. I know this probably doesn't belong on this blog but I want people to know him.

He was a great man even if it was just in my eyes. He had always been strict and not always fair but he did what was best for me and my sisters. He made mistakes in his marriage with my mom, but was a wonderful father. We had a game when he got home from work where I would go running down the hall from the front door to the back where he would be waiting and throw me up in the air. He always had a quarter for me when I wanted to play a pinball machine. He would always clean up my scrapes and bruises from playing in the street. He was always there to help when I had car trouble and taught me to change a flat tire. He gave me my love of movies and of classic actors like Charlton Heston, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas and Cary Grant. He told me I should never depend on someone else to make me happy and taught me that self worth is the most important thing you can learn about yourself. And not a single day went by when he didn't make us feel loved or that we were his greatest accomplishments. Even up until the last vacation I took to Costa Rica he always tried to hide that tear in his eye at the airport. And I always tried to hide mine.

I'm grateful and happy for the 33 years that I got to spend with him. I'll always remember sitting together and watching some of his favorite movies and his hearty laugh at even the dumbest scenes. I'll cherish the memories of my dad the first time he saw me in my wedding dress and grateful that he was there to walk me down the aisle. I know it was a bittersweet day for him, that his "baby" was finally getting married. I'm thankful that I got to spend time with him 2 months ago, and see him smiling and laughing and even sharing drinks together. I'm glad I kept the last birthday card he gave me because its one of the few things I have left from him.

I wish we had more time together. I wish my last memories weren't of him in he hospital with tubes everywhere. I wish he could hold my babies. I wish I had a video of him so I never forget what his voice sounds like. I wish I could get one last hug. I wish he hadn't been so far away. I wish theses tears would stop

I wish this pain would go away. The pain in my heart that makes me want to bury my head in the pillow and just sob. But I know that not what my dad would want. But how can you let go of someone who has loved you from the moment he laid eyes on you? I'm not ready, not now at least. I don't think this is something you could ever be ready for.

Maybe wishes come true.

Jackie

Happy Anniversary

Yes, today is my one year wedding anniversary. It has been a troubled year with many ups and downs (more downs than anything), but I wouldn't change a thing. I love my husband and the relationship we have, its only gotten stronger and better. So tonight will be just a quiet evening at home, with a bottle of champagne and our wedding video.

Happy Anniversary honey. :)

Aisle Walk is on hiatus

Table runners

2008-04-24T10:30:00.000-07:00

Busy busy busy

2008-04-16T09:36:00.000-07:00

I've been working on a lot of projects which I haven't had a chance to post about. I guess being busy is a good thing!!!

Until then, here's something to keep you occupied...its a blog that has really touched my heart. http://multiplebaby.blogspot.com/

Vanessa

2008-04-03T09:04:00.000-07:00

Vanessa's planner reached out to me last week asking if there was any way I could do a last minute runner for her. Well, I always want to help out brides and I'll do it, even if it means I work tirelessly overnight to get it done. So I managed to turn this around in just 4 days. :)

Congratulations to Vanessa & Chunky!

Aisle Walk goes International!

2008-03-28T16:51:00.000-07:00

Jessica

2008-03-16T20:04:00.000-07:00

I had the opportunity to do a Here Comes the Bride banner for Jessica, who will be getting married April 6th. I have to say it was pretty neat and something I had really not seen prior to this.

Time flies

2008-03-07T09:05:00.000-08:00

Wow, I can't believe that I'm getting close to my 1 year anniversary. It has been a trying year...MH and I had some unexpected lows this year but we are riding it out. People tell us that if we make it through all the crap in our first year of marriage, then we're good to go for the next 50+! So now I'm trying to plan a nice 1 year anniversary trip, its something we both desperately need. I was just looking through pics of my travels. I'm no Ansel Adams but I don't do too bad with a camera.

Some things that make me happy:

Contact info

2008-03-05T13:44:00.000-08:00

Pièce de résistance

2008-02-24T13:18:00.000-08:00

The runners. :)

*Please forgive some of the pics, I'm no photographer and trying to adjust the flash isn't easy. Believe me when I tell you they look much better in person.

New Blog

2008-02-04T08:23:00.000-08:00

I'd been thinking about trying to get a way to get my services "online" so to speak, or just showcase the things I've done before for other girls getting married. I thought this my be the way to get it done.

Hopefully you'll start seeing a lot of my stuff on here. Thanks for coming by!
