Slacker!

Okay, Okay, I'm sooooo very sorry for being such a slacker! Thanks to Lisa for letting me know! She asked me when I was going to start keeping up with my blog again....
How embarrasing!

Well, I've attached an article which kinda explains what I've been doing....



I know, it's no excuse. Thank you for calling me on it. To those of you who enjoy receiving my newsletter, I've also kinda slacked on that one too, haven't I? I promise that next week things will return to normal....

Well, maybe. Of course, the Christmas season kinda prevents normal, doesn't it?

I'll write you a quick story later on this week to explain something that happened to me that reminds me of the spirit of this time of year.

until then.....

EASY WEDDING PLANNING!

Rachael Ray Saves THE Day!!

How wonderful of her! Have you seen this article?

Rachael Ray (whom I absolutely! love) is providing a wedding ceremony and reception for more than 50 couples whose weddings were canceled due to Hurricane Ike. Isn't she just grand?

She's using Minute Maid Park, the home of the Houston Astros. The couples are people who lost not only their money (some as much as $20,000), but also their dream/vision of their perfect wedding! Imagine, losing everything you envisioned because of a hurricane...poo! There were two venues who closed their doors citing irreparable financial strain from the damage caused by Ike. I can kinda understand, what do you do? Your building is ruined...That would be tough.

So, how nice of Rachael to step in and save the day!

Here's the article: Rachael Ray saves wedding day for couples!

I'll try to find a more permanent link for the story since this article probably won't be up forever...but, I just had to put it up, since I think she's such a wonderful lady.

until next time.....

EASY WEDDING PLANNING!

Wedding Day Nerves? How about a Reality Show Wedding?

TNT will run a reality show next year titled Wedding Day. It stars Steven Holdwick and Holli Munro, who were married at the St. Johns Episcopal Church in Saginaw, Michigan at 4pm today.


The reception was held at Horizons Conference Center. The coolest thing? They WON their wedding from TNT in a contest.

There is no air date set yet. :(
The film shooting has been going on all week in Saginaw.

So, the question is......
are you still nervous about YOUR WEDDING DAY?

until next time.....

EASY WEDDING PLANNING!

I'm so excited!!

So....a month or so ago I was made aware of a young lady in need of some help. She has a health problem of some sort, which has become the cause for her needing a transplant. Sorry I don't have more details available, I will make them available as I can. So, we were discussing this at a Poor & Hungry Theater Tavern meeting a couple months ago & I offered to pull together a fund raiser for her. Well, it's been longer than I expected, but today, I had a VENUE step up to the plate and offer their establishment for the fundraiser!! Praise God! I am so excited. I just couldn't wait to post this success. I don't have enough details for it to make sense, but we are sooooo looking forward to pulling this together.

I am working with a few others, who have offered their services. We have someone in charge of getting entertainment and someone else who will handle our PR. And, of course, I'm going to contact caterers, linen providers, florists, etc. to get all of the accoutrements donated! I am so excited and honored. Honored that I have a skill and a network of business associates that can bless someone. Not only that, but I have a good friend, who is married to a news anchor....So, we are hoping to get some FANTASTIC promotions to help us sell tickets.

I think this is going to be a very successful venture. Pray for us. Pray for our success and that the Lord will call people to donate and help where they can.

until next time.....

EASY WEDDING (AND FUNDRAISER!) PLANNING!
