Pintrest...Our new Obsession

I'm not sure if everyone has heard of this or not, but the girls at Ad Results think Pintrest is the shiz!!!!  Basically, Pintrest is a virtual pinboard.  it helps you organize and share pics of things that you love on the internet.  Each pin board has a seperate theme.  For instance, I have a pinboard highlighting my favorite places and spaces, favorite books, my style, Swish flowers and many, many more.  You can even add more boards as you go along and think of new things that you would like to highlight.  The best part is that you get to look at other peope's pinboards and get ideas and inspiration.  If you haven't seen it, go check it out.  Are you on Pintrest?  If you are, add me as a friend.  I would love to see yur boards!!!!





There's even an I-Phone App- LOVES!!!!



The Foster Wedding

I know most of you are friends on Facebook or already fans of Swish Productions, so you have already seen all the pics from Kim & John's wedding, but it is something that I am really proud of, so I wanted to make a post!  Last November, Swish Productions branched out into a little bit of wedding/event planning.  Kim and John were really great to work with.  Probably a little too great.  I doubt if I end up doing this more often, I will find a bride that is as laid back as Kim was!  Congrats to the happy couple!!!!

I did Kim's hair accessory, clutch and flowers.  Let me know what you think!!!!

Keep Natalie Weird!!!!

This wednesday, we had a going away party for one of my very best Ad Results friends, Natalie.  She is moving to Austin to start a new job, and we couldn't be more proud of her.  Way to go, Natalie!  Throw those good boomerangs!  Good luck, we know you will do great things!  I put together a little photo montage of all of our years together while at Ad Results.  I didn't realize we had so many photos together!  Love you, Nat and don't worry...we'll come to visit you soon in Austin!

New Year...Resolutions!!!!

With 2011 upon us, everyone is making their resolutions.  I usually make resolutions, and never do them.  This year, I am working extra hard to keep each one of mine, and the easiest way to do that is to write them down.   So, here it goes.  

Allison's 2011 Resolutions

1. Lose weight.

2. Go for what I want, and realize that I am good enough.

3. Work to make my Etsy shop bigger and better for 2011.

4. Save more money.

5. Work harder to be more Salli and less Ali.

5. Recycle more.

7. Under promise and over deliver.

8. Blog more often.

9. Exercise more.

10. Learn to say no.

11. Have at least one day in each week that I do absolutely nothing.

12. Take better care of myself and my home.

Week in Review...

The past two weeks have been so full and busy.  I've had catch up dinners with old friends, reps in town for work, major crafting projects for everyone and other random things to do each night.  Roxy and I also made a "how-to" video last weekend on making potato stamps.  It was lots of fun and actually really easy!  Stay tuned for the tutorial.  I'll be posting it soon.  

This weekend we all went to the Italian Festival and had an awesome time!  It's definitely not what it used to be, but it's getting better.  Having it at St. Thomas University was a BIG improvement, but I miss the days of the Italian Festival being downtown.  It was still fun though.  If you get the opportunity to go, you should definitely do it.  I would love to get to go to one in another city.  I bet it would be really different!!!!  

Fist pumpin' our way into the festival.

Congrat's Alex & Christine!!!!

This weekend was full of wedding receptions, showers and Ad Results peeps!!!!  On Saturday, we took the long drive out to Sealy, TX to celebrate Alex & Christine's wedding.  They decided to get married in Austin when none of their Ad Results friends were around, so we just had to celebrate their union with a party!!!!

I really wanted to stop at Buc-ee's on the way to Sealy, but much to my disappointment, there wasn't one remotely close.  We decided to stop at a "country store" for gas, jerky and other essentials.  We got to the gas station around 5:00pm, and Natalie couldn't understand why the guy at the "country store" didn't have any kolaches left.  Seriously, Natalie?

Alex Almost broke Rule #2 [Friends don't push friend into the pool] and in the process, made Kim spill her drink all over herself.

As a wedding favor, Christine made all the girls key chains.    She is a fellow Etsian, so check her out at www.cxclay.etsy.com


Thanks so much for the invite and memories, Christine & Alex.  Fun was had by all.  Congratulations!!!!
