I am one of the Dream Crew members - You may read the Dream Crew write up they did on me at the official contest blog. It's a great honor to be the wedding garter, dress tag and ring pillow designer. I can't wait to see what the winning couple will end up custom ordering.
Lets see here - It was back on October 17th... about 3 weeks ago... a beautiful sunny day when I got off the plane at the LAX airport. I had flown across the USA to participate in the exciting launch of the Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway! I met one of my bestest buds in the whole wide world. The one and Only Barbie Q Ribbes (BBQ for short) She lives in Bay Area. We met online back in 2006 and have been "sistas" ever since. So going to Califorina was more than just for a wedding shin dig, it was to be united with my best girl.
Here she is sporting a couple of my wedding garters on her arm and a sexy green and black garter on her leg. It was so great to be at this party. The Venue, Rancho De La Palmas, was absolutely beautiful.
Anyway - When we first got to the hotel, I checked in and the hotel clerk brought out a special delivery for me... It was a gorgeous gift basket from my Ever Lovin Hubby! He is such a great guy. :) The basket had a bottle of Pink Zin wine and a huge assortment of Chocolates... Yes that's what #Choc911 is all about!!!
BBQ and I had a BLAST laying on the bed, hanging, talking, & just enjoying the ultra yummy contents of this lovely basket!
Later on Sunday evening, Oct 18th, we headed on over to the Rancho De La Palmas. I brought wayyyy too many garters - didn't really know how much to bring since this was the first show I've ever set up for. But luckily I had a small palm tree behind my side of the table, so I decorated it with garters too. LOL it was a pretty funny looking little "Garter Tree" . But I had a good time so it's all good.
LadyBead's lovely daughter was with her. She was totally sporting the beautiful bead work of her mom on both her hands and feet. She is quite the outgoing and fun loving gal. As you can see below she was a great sport with the garters :)
She even modeled one of the Blue Flame band garters on her leg. (Oooh La la)
All in all it was a really fun time. I wish I had taken more pictures - I even MISSED The Mint Photo Lounge - don't know how I managed that.... Percy Sales is every bit as nice in person as he is in his emails.
I can't wait to see how this whole contest unfolds.
