Think rustic, think shabby-chic, think vintage, think homemade, think AWESOME-NESS!!!!!! Amanda was a do-it-yourself-er……..who put a lot of heart, soul and creativity to make the day of her dreams. Just add some friends and family and an awesome venue…..ohh and Pie, you can’t forget the pie! Guests were served pie instead of a wedding cake…how…
Her only rule was: they had to be green. This is what she told the bridesmaids when picking out their dresses. As long as they picked out a short dress and it was ANY shade of green she would be happy…and I have to tell you…I LOOOOVE the way they looked together! No ones was…

Tucked away into beautiful countryside and the rolling hills of the Laurel Highlands in Southwestern PA, is a gem that I just recently discovered called The Oak Lodge in the little town of Stahlstown, PA. Previously, they had been privately doing wedding ceremonies and receptions on the property (which is like a little village) and recently…

Last night Greg and I came home pretty late from Matt + Amanda’s wedding…..but as we pulled up to check the mail-we found a little suprise! Greg pulled out a teal colored envelope that read “Lucky You”. It was late, we had just put in a good 10-12 hour day and we were just plain…

This is such a great idea. I think your work is fabulous and if i ever make it back to Indiana for any length of time i will be sure to look you up. (grew up there) 
have a great week!
Check out Nov issue of Oprah. The one with Rosie and Oprah both on the cover. On page 52 There’s an article about Patience Salgado fron Richmond, VA. I’m wondering if what you’re describing isn’t an extension of this story. So cool. It’s a win, win situation. Both the giver and reciever have fun and experience the joy! Paying it forward. Priceless
That’s awesome! I’m going to do it!!!
Just a week or so ago, I was on my way to a Bridal Show with my 2nd shooter/Assistant/Best Friend. Getting our usual Dunkin Donuts, and we get up to the window at the drive through to pay our 7 dollars and change and the woman at the window says the car ahead of us paid and they handed us a card similar to that and we payed it forward to the car behind us right away! It totally made an AWESOME day! Totally had a warm and fuzzy feeling!!
seen ppl do this & leave something somewhere – for ppl to find — it’s an awesome thing to do!
That is fabulous! One of the radio stations here has a random acts day every week; they encourage people to pay for the meal of the person behind them in the drive through line, and they have a downloadable “card” for the cashier to give the person. You’re right; it isn’t the quantity… it truly is the thought that counts. And the fact that it can turn someone’s day around is priceless.
This one makes me feel old! I realized earlier in the week that I knew her mom, because her Mom’s sister and I were good friends in school (Hi Jen!!). I remember hearing about her being pregnant with Hali and to think that she is now in 12th grade just boggles my mind. I also…
