Vintage Oscar Meyer Hot Dog Advertisement. 
I love using old Advertisements as inspiration for new posters, flyers, invites,...
Also, collaging the graphics.

An example of using this advertisement to create a poster for tres boutique  & d.dree vintage

Makeshift DIY puppy pack/dog backpack! 
Puppy packs are GREAT for dogs. Especially overly energetic, herding breeds, working breeds. 
It gives a normal walk a purpose, gives the dog a job or goal. It is not abusive, or a mean. Great for training dogs how to walk.
 A lot of dogs love them! At first start with just the pack with a couple treats. 
Reward them for their hard work.
Once they are used to it and know what its intention is, add more weight. Remember, no more then 25-30% of their weight. Here in Arizona, especially this time of year, it is hot. I put to ice bags on either side to keep the dog cool! Another great thing about the pack is it makes the walk a little more difficult. So, if you are walking your dog for two 30 minute walks and he/she is still full of energy not getting the exercise he/or she needs, this is a great way to accomplish that!

I am engaged.
Everyone's question: When , Where, What?
I have not been the the girl planning my wedding since I was little...
But, I do know that I want it to be special.
I came up with a idea about a year ago or so...

My thing is, I know a wedding only happens once... or that is intended.... should be the case.
Creating something special usually means a pretty penny needs to be put down...
I give huge kudos to the couples on the diy dime!
Because the average price I see for a wedding seems take away from what a wedding is a supposed to be.
It is about.... a moment, collaboration, celebrating love between two and the love between all. Families and friends joining as one.

I think for that to really happen I need to create that space- not find one that is fitting.
A blank canvas for me to make my own. First the backdrop- a space my fiance and I both find intriguing and one that I know is spectacular to both our families is the desert.

Love "Dessert in the Desert" & Movie/Image Projection 


Comfy furniture brought outside...
