Building the Nest

13.03.2010


Office Ideas

Ever since we moved in 6 months ago I haven’t worked on my office space. I wanted to live with it for awhile before I accessorized it. I’m head over heals for the orange walls, my gray carpet, the ikea chairs and effektiv units but that’s where it stopped. Now it’s time to hang stuff on the walls, organize my drawers, purchase lighting and really make it mine. I can’t wait to show you the home of Paper Nest Designs in the next few weeks! So stay tuned as I build my nest.

Dreams Come True

12.03.2010


GRunveiled

GRunveiled was a huge success yesterday! Despite all the rain we still welcomed over 230 people to the event! I think the vendors had just as much fun as the attendees. It felt like a big ol’ party with a bunch of friends all in a beautiful building. Doesn’t get better than that!  All the vendors pulled through with amazingly creative spaces. I am so proud of all of them! So many guests commented how friendly everyone was and how they were all so passionate about what they were doing. My dream show came true!

A big shout out to Aletha from Pearls Events and Jennifer from J. Studio for coming on board with me and my crazy ideas! Also to all the friends and family who have been so encouraging and supportive. Most of all to my amazing husband who has been doing all the big and little things to keep me sane every day while I’m flying around and encouraging me every step of the way.  This show wouldn’t have gone on without all of you!

I experienced a dream come true last night! I’m still reveling in it…

This is a sneak peek of the event. I’ll have plenty more photos to share from the fabulous Nicole Haley Photography who was so gracious to snap photos for us throughout the evening.

GRunveiled Hits the Big Screen

11.03.2010


GRunveiled hit the WZZM news this morning! I couldn’t be more happy with the story. WZZM did a great job and like Aletha said, “They have mad editing skills.” ha! It was a lot of fun doing the interview with them, that is once my nerves went away. This show has been so much fun and I’ve learned a ton along the way.

I hope to see you all out tonight at St. Cecilia. The show runs from 6pm to 10pm. We’ve extended our online ticket sales to 3pm today. You can also purchase tickets at the door.

This ain’t your mama’s wedding show so you won’t want to miss it!

GRunveiled in the Press- Creativity Rules

10.03.2010


Grand Rapids Press

Shocked. Lets be honest when I saw this come out yesterday I about fell over.  The Grand Rapid Press went above and beyond with this article. The layout is stellar as well.  If you ever told me that my little idea of GRunveiled would get this big I wouldn’t have believed you. The support and encouragement I have received is out of this world. Thank you GR for showing so much love!

DJ Alex

08.03.2010


I had the pleasure of designing this logo for DJ Alex. I’m stoked to have DJ Alex do some live mixing at GRunveiled this Thursday. Come out to the show and be sure to stop by and say hi to him. Grab one of his cool biz cards because you never know when you’re going to throw that next party and need some serious tuneage. DJ Alex would be the guy you’d want to bump your party up a few notches.
