The Knot Best of Weddings 2007 is on newsstands today!  Be sure to pick up a copy.  Inside you will find a coast to coast guide for everything that is “wedding.”  (look for me too!)

The Knot conducted a massive survey of 25,000 recent brides and
grooms-the first of its kind-to capture detailed feedback on every wedding
business that couples hired, from reception sites to planners, cakes and
limo companies. The newlyweds were asked to rate their vendors on multiple
criteria, from creativity to professionalism, and to comment on their
experiences. The resulting ratings-and detailed feedback-were aggregated by
the editors of The Knot to create this one-of-a-kind publication
highlighting the best wedding resources in each region according to local
brides.

These just came in- framed portraits back from a true artist herself, Lisa www.artgirlframe.com/  . 

Her Mantra: 

Custom Picture Framing offers a wide variety of choices and design options to help make a statement with the artwork or object you want framed. There is the perfect frame for anything you would like to put on your walls. The colors and styles of  today’s frames will enhance any décor scheme .

Custom Picture Framing is truly the finishing touch that allows you to to Wow! The difference a frame makes turns artwork into Furniture for your walls, an expression of individuality that only you will have.

 

I have to agree!

 

Thank you Lisa, for creating a true piece of art my clients will cherish forever.

 Shaun and his band “Goosebumps,” put on a great “spooky” show filled with mosh pits and a zombie performance artist.  I stayed out of it like any good girl over 30 would.
