Be Mine???

Not sure if you remember what our family tradition is for Val Day [if you don't read last year's blog here], but it’s a doozie! This year is my year to give to Josh just EXACTLY what he never could ever possibly be interested in wanting. Can’t wait! I found it the other night at the grocery store and I’m confident it’s still sitting in the exact same place waiting for me. Since we’re both working a bit today, I can’t wait to whisk his gift off the shelf and then whip up some uber cute packaging for presenting it to him [after all, it's ALL about the packaging].

Do me a favor- kiss lots today!

A quick list, with pictures of course!

1. These pictures of Josh that were taken by the oh-so-fabulous-it-actually-physically-hurts Trever Hoehne [and yep, he does weddings]. I can’t stop looking at my gorgeous man!

And yes, he has a mohawk. This photo shoot was so, SO last minute. So glad that it came together and that the babe is so happy about his photos and impending album artwork!

[That's right! Show off that ring and tattooed A! Hell yeah!] Moving on…

2 This cake is KILLING ME:

It’s not the top as much as the tiers. I LOVE the folds. A big bunch of peonies on top and I’d be just as happy!!

3. Lisa’s invitation supplies came in and they are BETTER than either of us could have imagined. Just wow.

The ombre ribbon is perfection with this grassy green and metallic teal combo. Ugh!

So peacock-inspired and fun! All we have to do now is print…

4. This picture from Brian Khang is changing my life [or at least affirming it]:

This picture from my niece [via MiPhone] is, too:

5. Popped into Z Gallerie yesterday and this is the first thing that made my jaw drop [my personal style, if I had to pick ONE store, would be the Z]:

These little dessert stand/cup/glass thingies with covers, I am 100% in LOVE with. Do not be surprised if you see them featured in the next round of tabletops I do.

CUTE!!!!!

6. My weekly Wedvice column over at Elizabeth Anne Designs [every Wednesday]!! Talk about a growing experience for me. An expert?? Really??!!

Plus I get to display fabulous pictures of tabletops and real weddings! So fun. And so thankful that the ladies there believed in me and gave me a chance!

7. My comment from Keyla yesterday on my birthday post. Holy goodness. It was hands-down the most incredible thing I’ve heard about my business. And Spain! That means I’ve been featured in Spain AND Brazil. Who knew!!

8. My husband’s EP being featured in the “Pop” section of New/Noteworthy on iTunes. Hollar!! I can’t even believe it!

It’s been a great week. And 2009, you’ve got me smitten like a kitten so far!

xoxo!

What, what, whaaaaat!!!

In honor of Josh’s music placement tomorrow night [which is the first prime time placement that we know of for Josh's music], he’s released an EP that is now officially UP on iTunes! Yay! I’m so thrilled to see my husband’s name out there in the real world!

So, if anyone is in the market for a few new songs, the “Dear You, EP” [which stands for "extended play" and essentially just means a few songs instead of a bunch... there are 5 total] is selling right now on iTunes for $3.99. Bargain city!

I cannot take credit for how amazingly bitchin’ the cover art is… but it’s pretty bitchin’ huh?? :) Buy the album here:

Listen and tell me if you love it. I know you will!! xoxo.

NOT about me [well, they ARE and we'll get to that later], but…

So excited for my babe! Not only is one of his most stellar songs being played on the prime time CW show One Tree Hill, but it’s already being talked about!

If you’re interested in hearing my dude’s voice singing the hopeless love stories of various twentysomethings for television, tune in to One Tree Hill NEXT Monday, January 12th at 9pm California time! You know we’ll Tivo it. We’ve heard they’re using practically the entire song during a makeout scene. Score!!

Oh yah, and if you’d like to hear the song “Dear You” before it comes up on TV, go head over to Josh’s Myspace and give it a listen. It’s a great song. I know. It’s about me. Holla!

He’s at it again!

Josh’s fabulous music got played on

Night Shift again [a General Hospital spin off show]!!!  

If you scroll to about 5 and a half minutes into the video, you’ll hear my hubs BEAUTIFUL voice! The song is called “Still Holdin’ On” and the scene is the death of a friend, when they’re at the morgue. They play the song ALMOST in its entirety so we’re both very pleased!   

Here’s the video:

Remember, about 5:20 into the clip, the music starts!! Tell me what you think!  

And then go here to listen to the real song and look up the lyrics! He rocks. I know it, you know it. We know it!!   

***EDIT TO THIS: I’m on TV, too!!!! They used Josh’s song “On My Own”, which I sang, in the new family series Samurai Girl! Here’s the clip [and this was a random accident finding it, because we were looking for another of Josh's songs that a fan told us about later in the show...].

Video:

Song comes in at 5:45 into the clip and starts out “Honesty is a mystery…”. LOVE your coordinator. Love her voice. Love her husband. Wait… love YOUR husband [present or future].  The good thing is, it was RIGHT at the beginning of the show, before people even lost interest and started channel flipping, right?? :)

Okay, my husband again here on Samurai Girl [same episode], scroll to 7:20 to hear “It’s You”!

Since he just started working for ABC full time a year ago, with the new season they are exploding with new songs! Only a month into the TV seasons and we’ve heard 4 of his songs!! We’re depending on friends, fans, and family to tell us when he’s played because we can’t keep up with EVERY ABC show [especially since we sold our TV...] but we’re more than thrilled!!
