I’m. So. Excited. Yes, it’s true: I’m making my very first wedding invitations! My cousin Ashley is getting married in March, and has graciously asked me to play this vital role in her wedding plans. I’m super inspired by her themes and color choices: vintage, dirty olive green, brown, cream, antique birdcages, moss and tree bark.…

Brian and I set out for Indio, CA last weekend to witness the marriage of our good friend, Kelsey, and our newest good friend, Andy. Unfortunately, Brian came down with a horrible fever and chest cold, and had to spend the happy day in our hotel room. In the end it was all worth it,…

I had my first interview for www.brianandlauren.net! Today, December 30, 2010, marks my Grandma and Grandpa Hosmer’s 65th anniversary of being wed, and I thought a little interview and blog story was in order. First off, if anyone wants some detailed history about Modesto, all you need to do is ask my grandma, Erma Hosmer. She…

I’ve gone fancy for favors! Here’s what I came up with for Kelsey’s bridal shower favors, and I’m sooo proud of them! First, I started out with my vanilla paper and newspaper print  in my Cricut, and chose the umbrella for a “shower” theme. Next, I posted the umbrellas on tags, and attached a personal message on…

We all know what snow is. That natural phenomenon where tiny flecks of ice fall from the sky and coat everything in a lovely white blanket of glittery crunchiness. Well, being a girl from the Central Valley, this was something I often heard of, and got to see every few years. So, it wasn’t an every year…

Something sweeter than a baby? A wedding. Random, I know, but I’ve been putting in a lot of baby time lately with my new little sissy, Izzy. But yes, a wedding. Yesterday, Brian and I left and headed for the mountains, and reached our destination at North Lake Tahoe. If I ever complained about the…

Quarter of a Century…

October 30, 2010 at 10:54 pm

As a quarter of a century old, I have passed my last significant birthday in terms of “benefits”. Now, I can rent a car without paying stupid extra fees. Hooray! I don’t know what it is about me and numbers, but I love my birth year. So many significant things happened in 1985, it makes…

There are two things that really have been inspiring me lately: making cards, and for the first time, beauty products. It has taken me 25 years to truely accept my inner femenine touch, and feel good about myself and how I look. I’ve worn makeup more consistently this last year than I ever have in…
