Spread the LOVE: Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (Cont'd)

To follow up on March 23rd's post titled "Spread the LOVE: Leukemia and Lymphoma Society," here is a picture of the winner of the two monogrammed tutus we made for the Atlanta area's Team-In-Training Silent Auction. I sure hope she likes 'em!!


It was an honor to be a part of the great work the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is doing on behalf of those affected by blood cancers. If you have a preferred charity you would like for Embellish to consider donating to, please let us know. We love suggestions!

Stumbling Down the Aisle

I guess it's better for me to stumble, than a bride to literally stumble down the aisle ...

I had scheduled a delivery this morning to a Lovely Bride who I've known for years. Well, I got up, double checked the order, and realized that I had made her the wrong veil. The wrong veil? I looked again. The wrong veil. Ummm, paniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic!

It is 100% my fault that this happened, but it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't lost that stupid, essential pattern! It is a pattern that I use to create two different veil lengths. It is the size of the shorter veil and I just add length when the longer veil is requested. I was so focused on needing that pattern to create this veil, that I made that pattern exactly, instead of adding the length as requested. Ugh!

A few years ago, when I was working in Atlanta, a co-worker (shout out to Stephanie!) could always tell when I was having a bad day, based on what time I dipped into the M&Ms bowl. Well, I didn't have any M&Ms here, so I had vanilla ice cream with Hershey's syrup at 9 this morning. Ridiculous, I know, but I needed a minute to decompress and think. This is the first time I've done this! What was I going to do? I can NOT deliver the wrong veil but it makes me look incompetent to admit that I made the wrong veil.

Although now, if Lovely Bride reads this, she knows why I rescheduled. Lovely Bride, I am so sorry!!

Happy Anniversary, Embellish!

Normally, it's the man's job to forget the anniversary. But since no men work at Embellish, I guess I'll take that role. Embellish's 1st Anniversary was March 6th. And, yeah, I just realized this week that I forgot it. Total bummer to miss such a special occasion!

Now, the typical 1st anniversary gift is paper. So I started thinking, "what can one do to celebrate this occasion with paper?" And then it hit me like that toilet paper commercial: paper gowns, head pieces, and flowers. I lifted this picture off the world wide web ... I do not know these ladies, but I like their style. Enjoy!

And thank YOU for supporting Embellish! xoxo
