Help finding a great gift for him

Now that I’ve made my announcement, let’s talk about So Happy Together. Anyone can search the internet and find products all over for weddings, bridal showers, attendants’ gifts, confirmations, thank you gifts, the list can go on. However, in this day of impersonal service, So Happy Together has brought back the art of personalized service. As a bride, wouldn’t you like to have someone guide you through some of the pitfalls of planning a wedding and help you create a “WOW” in the minds of your guests by adding just a few details? Not every bride can have a wedding planner managing the event from beginning to end. Some simple tips at the beginning of the planning or a nudge in the right direction may be all that is needed. So Happy Together advisors are committed to service, something that is unusual in today’s fast paced society. In fact, we give you our personal commitment to service at your first meeting. Then we deliver the products you chose to you when they arrive. We can also assemble favors, invitations or assist with wrapping of the gifts for an additional fee.

There are several categories of products to select from and they can be given for more than just weddings. From tote bags to home décor, many of the products available from So Happy Together can be customized with names, monograms or greetings. Today, I will let you in on a few of the great men's gifts.

Do you have a brother-in-law or cousin that you just don’t know what to buy for his birthday or as a special thank you?

What about a set of pilsners with a golf theme? They can be personalized with three initials or left blank. (A on left)

Complete the theme with a heavyweight Divot Key Ring. (B on right) It features a removable magnetic divot replacer that can also be engraved with his initial. He will love that you remembered his favorite past-time.

Doesn’t like golf? Try a bar-be-cue tool set (E pictured below) or brass compass.

Both can be personalized to make it that extra special gift. There are a wide variety of men’s gifts and so many ideas to make a special occasion even more memorable.

Just in time for all of those New Years Engagements

I am awaiting a book. Well not just any book. I am always reading. It is a hot off the press book. It won't be available to the general public until December 31st, just in time for all of those romantic, Christmas or New Years Proposals, but I have been honored with the task of reviewing this book. It can be pre-ordered at Amazon.com.

DIY Bride is the brain child of Khris Cochran of DIY Bride. I am awaiting my review copy with anticipation. Anyone that knows me knows that I am a very crafty type person and that I am also a voracious reader. This is going to combine two of my loves. Keep an eye out. I will be posting just as soon as I receive this much awaited book.

Shhh! I'm going to let you in on a secret.

There's a new secret in town. As soon as I get the OK, I'm going to be posting more about it. I am still planning and managing wedding days for brides, but I have gotten involved with a brand new company and I am so excited about it. I want to shout it out and tell everyone, but I can't reveal the name of the company yet on line. I CAN however give you a one on one presentation OR a great home presentation with a few of your friends.

If you are interested, CONTACT ME to set up your appointment.

Something about me

I'm sorry about the delay between posts. I've had some things come up in my life that have made it difficult to concentrate. Today's post is going to be about why I feel so strongly about Breast Cancer Awareness.

When I was little, I figured out at an early age that I was quite a bit younger than the rest of my generation. Not the general population's generation, but the generation that I belong to as it relates to my family. My mother had me at a very late stage in her life. She did not think she could even have kids anymore. She was 43. All but two of my cousins were much older than I was. All of my brothers and my sister were at least nine years older than I. As a result, I "hung out" with the cool older kids. (imagine being 5 and being aloud to hang out with the 14 and 16 year olds, I was in heaven) One of my favorites was my cousin Laura. She was always so glamorous in my eyes. She got up every day and curled her hair so that she could have the big hair, Farrah Fawcett wings. It was naturally very blond and she wore makeup (by this point I was about nine and she was eighteen); she was my hero. When I went to Tulsa every month to visit our grandmother, she and I would go hang out for the afternoon while our moms would talk. She would do my hair and we would go to the local fast food place to hang out with her friends. She eventually fell in love and got married, had kids and "grew up", but we would still go hang out when I would come to town. She was the cool cousin.
I eventually grew up and had my first child, and we would sit and talk for a while when I could make it to town, but she was feeling run down. I couldn't blame her. Her kids had a genetic issue that caused many trips to the hospital and she was worried about how their lives would turn out. She ignored some of the warning signs. When she did find the lump, she went in for treatment and they had it in remission for a while, but it moved. She fought it for several years, but she fell to the cancer.

I realized the other day, that I am now older than she was when she died. I am seeing my kids grow up as she never got the chance. I have the chance to experience things she was not able to. I miss her. As I do my mother, who fell to complications of Cervical cancer. All of the things that we do to help scientist look for prevention and cures, anything that can be done to give kids one more day with their moms, is worth every effort.
