it's a tiny little box!
love stocking time with the Aldous family 
I started it last year, our first married Christmas together. I put together a fun stocking of “love” items to let him know I loved him. This year, he surprised me with my own love stocking, and I totally loved it! He put it in this tiny little VS giftcard box and told me not to be fooled by the outside
A night of love! I was smitten before I even opened it!
Dinner at Outback (one of my favorite treats!) and dessert at Yogurtland (classic!)!!
Movies at our favorite (free!) theater and a VS giftcard…love him
He had it specially-made (see how extra, extra long it is!) and I am still amazed at what a creative, beautiful gift he created. Every once in a while, I’ll open it up, unfold it, and then put it back in the box
feelin’ it.

Pantone’s color of the year…are you feeling it?Styled Shoot at Zion Ponderosa
On 04, Dec 2011 | 3 Comments | In Uncategorized | By lela
I had the wonderful opportunity of being the paper designer for a styled shoot at Zion Ponderosa at the Wild Sage Wedding venue. It was a crazy, wonderful, freezing and amazing shoot. Brooke, from Brooke Shultz Photography, did an amazing job (helloooo, pretty pictures!) and nothing would have been possible without my dear sister-in-law and event coordinator, Kourtney Aldous.
The theme was rustic elegance, and the great thing about a styled shoot? I get to design whatever I want, however I want it! I loved playing with both sides of the theme, especially the textures on the printed products. I combined a luxe paper with a silk organza piece and tied with twine. Love!
Invitations! Such a fun blend of luxe paper, silk organza and rustic elements.
Menu for the reception.
Continuing the couples' monogram on these adorable Pottery Barn mason jar glasses!
Also, did I mention my amazing husband helped coordinate the vintage “Penny Candy” candy bar, via Blickenstaffs? The weekend was truly a family event
over the weekend…

spent the weekend in Arizona, playing mom while the parents were away.
it was wonderful! I love these kiddos! we had our own movie theater, complete with take-out Panda Express and candy on the floor. scootered at the park, visited with old friends.
plus. I got to sleep in my parents bed, which is a California King and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in!
- little RyRy in his tie, ready for church with the robot, of course!
- Brenna, focused on finding the snowflakes in the Blickenstaffs catalog.
but coming home was also a highlight. is it lame to say I missed my husband after three days? yes, I know it’s gushy and eewey and mushy. but it’s my blog. I missed the kid.
plus.
- autumn flowers from the husband. he knows me too well…
a delish cookie. mmm.
blog lovin’.
