kind kudos
featured on the stylish planner
The Stylish Planner is the brain child of Jeannine Kennedy whom I met at a conference (Eventology 09) in April of this year. I didn’t get to speak with her a lot but I remember sitting behind her during one of the sessions.
I did the total “girl thing” and looked at her up and down. I remember thinking, “She is so stylish and cute…a little southern lady”.
So when Jeannine decided to start a website that was geared for professional event planners about their personal style, fashion and beauty … I wasn’t surprised at all. I was however SHOCKED when she called me and asked if I would like to be a featured planner.
Me? For real? Surprisingly, she was not kidding. For pete’s sake, I had to follow Kelly McWilliams the cutest little planner on earth.
So here’s my feature if you would like to get to know a little more about me. And thanks Jeannine for the honor!
a happy mother of the bride
I usually don’t post these in my blog content (well in the kudos section), but I received this lovely email from a Mother of the Bride at 12:15am this morning. (And a similar email happened to my planner friend, Emilie Duncan).
Maddy + Gregg’s wedding was yesterday and it was fantastic. Small, intimate and lovely. What was personal for me was that Maddy’s father passed away few years ago, so we were extra sensitive to this issue, but we still felt that he was there in spirit.
This is the email:
Saundra,
Mere words cannot say how terrific I think you are. You made it all come together perfectly for one of the best weddings my family and I as well as our guests have ever attended. This day would not have been as happy and stress free without you. I know from a professional standpoint we were pretty small potatoes, but I could see how much you love what you do, and I am so grateful for you accepting us as your clients. You absolutely ROCK. I know I was a skeptic a year ago, but change makes believers, and I am absolutely your biggest fan.
Thank you again for putting all the special touches in to this happy happy day. You kept my baby and me smiling and worry free. You can add us to your list of references prospective clients can call and I will sing your praises from the rooftops. It was an A HA day all the way.
Warmest and heartfelt regards,
Stephanie Heine
Heart you both back!

merv griffin, an icon
I was saddened to hear that Merv Griffin, 82 years lost his battle with prostate cancer today. The man was a legend and an icon who’s focus and out-of-the-box thinking formed what game show TV is and talk shows. Ever heard of a couple of game shows: Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune? He created those.
Still I remember watching his talk show when I was a kid with my Mom (totally just dated myself). I remember he was funny, classy and had a great singing voice.

Sweet dreams Merv Griffin!!!

My fave event designer, Sally Barker, with Welborn Floral & Events, just gave birth to her second child, Garrison. I hope she doesn’t mind but I am posting a pic of this little cutey that was taken by her cell phone.
Speedy recovery, my friend. Can’t wait to kiss the newcomer!!! We’ll have him hanging drape in no time!!!

Request on Memorial Day
I hope today you take time to enjoy being with your families. Maybe a BBQ and picnic with friends.
As you play, please remember to keep in mind our friends and families overseas in Iraq or other places around the world. Please take a moment to think of them.
God Bless America and Happy Memorial Day!
warm regards, saundra
