Black Love visits Atlanta!

By invitation only well not really if you're familiar with local events you could've signed up to attend this evening event Black Love. My friend Kara Norman invited me to a night out to one of her favorite shows on TV for an open discussion into challenges that come up in a marriage. We enjoyed an evening of what would be considered a live broadcast of the show with special celebrity guest Grant Hill and Tamia. It was an evening of conversation dealing with marriages from different perspectives and couples from all ranges from newlyweds two couples with plenty of skin in the game dealing with the real issues in overcoming to stay together. During our outing we had lots of fun at the photo booth provided by Far Out Galaxy! They also gave us lots of fun gifts from and Kara and I got a chance to grab a quick picture with the celebrity panelist!!! Exciting night I was all smiles and enjoyed every minute of my time.

Your Dream gift - Waiting for you...

My Gift To You! 

Last year during a chat and chew meet  up with a few of my friends I gifted each one of them with a gift box and scallop paper. Explaining to each one of them that I desire to give them a gift of their hearts. Not really knowing what that is for each one of them the small gift box and scallop paper represented that for me. I also gifted myself with the box as well. With careful thought when I think of desires of my heart I write it down and place it in the box. 

I explain to the ladies to open up their boxes in about six months to see the manifsetiation of their gifts. 

So my gift to all you all today is If you were to receive the desires of your heart what would it be.? Download our gift card here!  Write down your desires place it in your box (create you a pretty box using ribbon and other crafty stuff) Take your time on gifting yourself and I suggest opening up to see what you've manifested in about 6 months!

How our Friendship Started -The Accidental Reunion

About this past weekend!

Four of the six of our self proclaimed Real planners of Atlanta (we are a group of friends brought together for our love and passion for events.)  We are 5 alumni of Correllations LLC. event training.

On this past Sunday we were coming together to celebrate RPOA Shelia's birthday and the restaurant she had initially chosen we found out once we arrived opened at 4 our luncheon was scheduled at 2:00p.m. so we made a quick decision to change spots and go to another restaurant  in the area. After driving down the road and making a left turn we wound up at Brio and just like that we realized that is the place we made each other's acquaintance. Flash back story 4 years ago we all took part in a baby shower celebrating RPOA Lawanna welcoming baby Victoria.  Helena and Rhonda (not pictured) hosted a beautiful Munchkin theme shower and Kustom Kreation Photography (us) were hired as the photographer. Krista and Shelia were assisting in helping the planners of the event. 

So on Sunday by accident we wound up of the same place we begin what we didn't know then but haves learned now a friendship sisterhood that we can smile upon and look at where it all begin. It's amazing how things like that happen.

Remembering Yesterday-Footsteps on My Heart Dinner Party

#TBT2012 

Footsteps all my heart and intimate dinner party with friends it all came about during a visit to Tierra Destiny's consignment shop. We were finishing up our visit and  as I was leaving she was telling me that she would love to do something special for her closest friends. Being passionate about creating special events and decor she and I begin throwing out some ideas and just like that we confirm an event just a few shorts months away. The title of the event came directly from the conversation as Tierra was telling me of these close friends that created footsteps on her heart! Eureka!!!! That is it!!! That is the title of the event.. and everything else will represent that!!! Footsteps on my heart, Once the concept of design was developed when then incorporated favorite color palette.This celebration would be like no other because it was truly created from the heart. We decided on a catered  sit down dinner. Tierra secured venue and catering from Aj's Catering Atlanta which in the least did not disappoint! Tierra giving me full rain of planning this event! Layout and design with added touches to make the guest feel special. we chose her favorite color purple with cheetah print with a hint of turquiose blue.

We announce the event in style with customize party invites!   When the day arrives the table was set and a seven course meal was served it was a beautiful celebration of food fellowship and love a few tears were  shed as Tierra explained the reason for the day and took time to write each lady a hand written note explaining how and why they place a footsteps on her heart. 

This celebration to date is one for me to remember due to the heart felt nature of why and how it was created! From time to time we should incorporate small gestures to the people that we love respect and admire and let them know how they placed a footstep on our hearts!
