twips holiday gift exchange

Let me start by saying thank you to Naomi Goodman of Enchanted Dream Weddings & Affairs for developing #TWIPS Twitter Wedding Inspiration Pals! TWIPS is a community on Twitter that affords those in the wedding industry an open forum to provide endless support to others in the group. THESE folks are incredibly dynamic! Jam-packed with mega creativity! Overflowing with energetic vibrant amazingness! So proud to be a part of this growing community.

In the midst of the holiday season, Annie of Marry You Me suggested a homespun holiday gift exchange for our members around the world. What a brilliant idea and a great way to initiate some new friendships and encourage creativity! My amazing gift came from Alicia at The Charity Wedding. I was so touched to open a gift that was not only gorgeous and handmade, it was created especially for me. I nearly cried reading her thoughtful note that began with "As a busy mom and business owner...."

This beautiful, functional chalkboard is hanging in my studio so that every time I use it I will think of Alicia and TWIPS.
