Merry Christmas 2008 ~ Jesus is the reason

Want to take a moment and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! May we remember that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas. Let every sparkling light remind us of how he illuminates our lives, a shining beacon to guide us in our thoughts and actions each day. As we enjoy our gifts, let us never forget that he is the greatest gift of all--our wonderful Savior, Counselor, Giver of an eternal life whose wonders we cannot imagine. So as we delight in Christmas, the happiest and brightest of holidays, let us remember there would be no Christmas without him.

Wishing all a safe and joyous time with your most dearly loved! I am very thankful for my family, friends, colleagues and clients. Each one is a blessing...thank you!!

Lord, let us our hearts be filled with joy, love and thankfulness, this Christmas and all the ones to come. Amen.

p.s. I will be in NC for few days and will be checking voice mails and emails periodically. Just want to let everyone know if I am slow to respond. Olga and Judy will be in town, please feel free to contact them for any urgent issues. ogutierrez@eventsonabudget.com , jgomez@eventsonabudget.com

Happy Halloween!

I got the following from http://www.alexrodrigueznotebook.com/. He shared with his pumpkin patch and now I am sharing with mine! ( Alex and I will be working together in two weeks for Elizabeth & Frank's wedding. It will be Awesome! Looking forward to it and sharing some amazing pictures.)

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin....

God lifts you up, takes you in and washes all the dirt off of you.

He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed etc.. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for the world to see.

Many Blessings to all to my spooky friends, family, clients and stalkers! Hope you have a Happy and safe Halloween!

Bling - Bling ******

If anyone knows me, they know I love Bling! I just came across some new colors & shapes from http://www.jamaligarden.com/. Wish they were around for my wedding (because you know it was sooo long ago..wink wink ;0) Since they were not around for my wedding, I am going to incorporate them for my mom’s wedding. My next post will be "Mom's Inspiration Board".
