We are now offering our workshop “Planning Like A Pro” one-on-one!  

Because we will be doing single sessions, the catered lunch or dinner will not be offered so take $25 off the fee making the cost a VERY affordable $275.  The valuable piles of information and documentation that you will receive is what we usually save for our “Day-of” and Classic Package clients who pay anywhere from $1,200 to $3,000.  The coupons and discounts that you will receive from our Preferred Vendors will total more than the cost of the class.  Take it from Nancy and I who have been in the industry for a combined total of 43 years, it is better to be prepared from the beginning for all of the little details that will encompass you and your life during the planning process.

Today is the day after Thanksgiving and everyone has deserted me to go shopping at the mall.  Personally I think they are a little crazy to brave the crazy crowds on the busiest shopping day of the entire year, but that just me.  I plan to recuperate and make my Christmas shopping list, then I plan to do my own shopping but I’m not leaving the house.   I know of a great online shopping mall that better fits my plans. I want to find a beautiful leather coat for my husband even though I bought him one several years ago and he made me return it because he said he would never wear it.  Every time he packs for a business trip to a colder area he complains that he needs a new coat.  I hold my tongue but guess what,  he’s getting a blasted coat for Christmas this year.   After I finish my easy, easy shopping I plan to make an appointment for a full body massage, I deserve it after all the cooking and cleaning I just did.

I just checked my e-mail and the holiday party invitations are already starting to roll in.  I absolutely love this time of year and I look forward to it all year.  There is only one problem and that’s finding time to shop for something beautiful to wear.  This year I have the perfect solution to this problem.  This year I plan to do my shopping on line.  I tend to lean towards the color black, so that’s were I’ll start and maybe by some twist of fate I’ll find something in formal cocktail attire that is another color besides black!   I always want some different and unusual jewelry to set off my holiday dress too.  This year, I think, will be much less stressful when it comes to holiday attire.  If I find that I’m still stressing out I’ll just have a fabulous Holiday Cocktail while sitting at my computer!!
