Amour, Doux Amour

While I was down in Florida earlier this week I had the privilege of witnessing my sweet brother's proposal to my lovely new sister-in-law to be!!!

First he went to a photo booth at Disney's Boardwalk in advance to "prepare."

Then later that afternoon when they just happened to be walking past it he got her to take a picture in the booth.

So... What did she find when she went to pull their picture out?

A stealthily placed "Will You Marry Me?" photo strip in its place! As she was processing what was happening he got down on one knee with the ring and proposed!

(We were standing by with champagne, roses, and lots of excited smiles! The sweet Disney workers who witnesses it even gave them a happily ever after Just Engaged pin, what fun!)

Congratulations to the happy couple!!! I am so excited for you both and can't wait for Jen to officially become part of the family!!! Let the joyous festivities begin!!!

Kisses,

K

 

And I'm Off!

I left Seattle for a whirlwind trip to Florida (to visit family), to Durham, North Carolina (to visit an old friend from back in the day), then down to Charleston, South Carolina (for a friend's wedding), then back down to Florida for a smidge, and finally end up in Chicago, Illinois (to visit my sweet In-laws) all before flying back home to Seattle! Whew!

I'll post as I'm able but in the meantime I leave you with this photo from my airplane window of some of Washington State's beautiful mountains.

I love how the sky was clear enough to see what would normally be covered by clouds but still a little bit hazy... I think it gives it a artistic quality reminiscent of a Japanese woodblock print (which I love). Till later...

Kisses,

Get Nailed

I have always loved (understatement!) painting my nails since I was a kid! So I couldn't be happier with all the fantastic nail art trends and colors out there right now, kid in a candy store much?

But sometimes you need a palette cleanser, so to speak, but still want in on all the cool summer fun out there color wise... The answer:

Essie's Blanc on my fingers and...

China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantasy on my toes!

Summer, here I come!

Inspire Me Tuesday!

We're all a little like icebergs. There is always more to us than meets the eye (you know, the old don't judge a book by its cover thing). What hidden talents or strengths do you have that others aren't aware of? Maybe it's time to get out there, share them, and let others see the immense beauty of you that lies beneath!

Kisses,
