This time of year is always crazy. It’s the end of the wedding season and I’m trying to get everyone their products in a timely manner, and then “they” throw Christmas in there just to make things interesting! I try to stay sane, but the reality of the matter is that if you were to peek into my studio at any given moment you’ll most likely see wild blood shot eyes, a tangle of crazy hair, a mountain of dirty coffee cups, and a pasty Mabyn madly twitching and staring at her computer screen. And yet, somehow I always LOVE this time of year! I feel a little like Santa sending out all of those little gifts knowing that there will be a squeal of joy at the other end of that happy little package!

It’s a rush, a joy, and a completely overwhelming season and to top it all of I throw my annual Christmas Canvas Contest! Hooray! It’s heeerrrreeee!

Hi Everyone! We’re officially one week away from Christmas Eve! I’m so excited! If you’re like me, then you love throwing little get togethers for family & friends. Though I’m not throwing a Christmas party this year, I am throwing a New Years Eve party so I’ve been scouring the web for inspiration! So I wanted to give you all some easy access to an AMAZING inspiration shoot at the Lincklaen House with Kate Brown of Lovewell Celebration Design and the always wonderful ladies of The Desserted Attic Vintage Rentals!

I gotta tell you the resources and talent these ladies have is beyond comprehension! Kate’s eye for detail and Tara & Erica’s fantastic taste goes hand in hand together. You’d think they have the same brain! I was in awe watching everything come together so perfectly! The best part is, it’s completely doable at home! Most of the details Katie and the Deserted Attic girls had laying around their homes. The table runner? Just fabric from a store, the lanterns? Pick them up at Hobby Lobby, the delicious looking desserts? An easy DIY recipe! I hope this gives you the gumption to try something a little extra special for your holiday party this year. I know I’ve gleaned a ton from Kate and her intuitive eye for design and Tara and Erica just have exquisit pieces at your disposal. Thanks girlies for being such a blessing!

xoxoxo,
Mabyn
