by Susan "The Shower Diva" This was a private wedding ceremony in November in Venice, CA - and it was GORGEOUS! I took the wedding video that was played at their reception, looping constantly through the party. It was so amazing. The sunset was magical, as all November sunsets are in So. California. We were so honored to be part of this amazingly beautiful wedding. Happy Anniversary to David and Vicky Breitman!! Go Slavin Dave!

by Susan "The Shower Diva" This is one of my favorite pictures taken by professional photographer, Doug Olmstead. (Copyright photo - contact S Newton at 503 722 0033 for more information) He's based in Portland, Oregon and you can contact him through his website: http://olmsteadphoto.com/ He is SUPER to work with, reasonably priced and is an amazingly spiritual person. His wife is an amazing copywriter and book indexer if anyone happens to need one. Just thought I'd put that out there.

Opening Shower Gifts with Guests

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 18:34:16 +0000

by Susan "The Shower Diva" Guests do enjoy sharing in the love and they really appreciate it when you are opening THEIR special gift to you. Be sure to make eye contact and say what is meaningful about that gift to you and what is meaningful about that PERSON to you. I believe acknowledging publicly what that person means to you is to give them special recognition. Whether we realize it or not, it's something we appreciate.

by Susan "The Shower Diva" Jill made me sit in front of everyone to open my gifts. It's funny because I liked being behind the scenes and managing everything, putting it all together. So when it was my turn to be on the spot, it felt funny. Now I'm in the spotlight quite often. It doesn't matter to me anymore. It was so much fun. We got to share in the love!

Jill took pictures of every guest with me and mailed me duplicates so that I had a copy and I could mail my thank you cards off with a copy of the pictures as well. I loved the cake too!

by Susan "The Shower Diva" On the way from Los Angeles to West Linn, Oregon - Making the biggest move of our family life. We left our friends and my entire life that I've known growing up behind for bigger space as our business outgrew what we could manage in Los Angeles. Plus, we yearned for the open air where we could smell the pine of the trees and the open roads where cars were not gridlocked. Now, over four years later, the heartache I feel makes me wonder if we didn't make the wrong move... I MISS OUR FRIENDS SO MUCH!! We are still in contact with them; yet, it's just not the same. We have new friends here...and LOVE IT HERE...but.... well....
