Wedding Season is HERE !!

I was very honored to have one of my friends ask me to be their 'wedding invitation designer' ! Some of you know that it's been a hobby of mine for quite sometime but I don't exploit it unless they need me.

What makes this wedding different from the rest is that it revolves around traveling - being that they travel everywhere. This is not a destination wedding but I know when guests receive their "boarding passes" you can bet the friendly skies that they will boarding the LOVE PLANE to Chicago for Jeyne and Dan's Wedding Day!

Thanks to a fellow pinay named Aylee who just inspired me even more to keep creating!

The Lotus flower is just absolutely beautiful to me !
I chose this necklace created by Annette from ShiningLightJewelry as one of my favorite items today because it reminds me of the beginning of a fresh start ! This necklace goes along with today's 80 degree weather in Chicago - an almost perfect day!

For more info, the following are just a few interesting meanings behind the symbol of a Lotus Flower. (full article from wikianswers.com)

• Like the Hibiscus flower, the lotus flower is universally accepted as a symbol of estranged love and the associated empty yearning it entails. The lotus flower originated in Egypt and in India, and has had a major role in the local myths and legends.

• The lotus flower in Indian mythology also represents birth and beauty. The goddess, Laxmi, was born from a lotus that sprang from Vishnu's forehead and there are many goddess figures that are described to have lotus features.

• If you don't look at the mythology and the symbolism of the Lotus flower and actually look at WHERE the Lotus flower comes from that can be a huge part of why some have it. I have my Lotus flower, because it actually represents my life. The beginning of the life of the Lotus flower is down deep in the MUCK and the MUD of water and it actually grows up and OUT of the muck, mud and water and becomes a BEAUTIFUL creation of life. That's why I have mine, life for me did not start out so great but I fought my way through the crap of it all and succeeded.
