In Any Events

So much to blog I don't even know where to start!

I have so many fantastic posts I don't even know where to start! I have been emailing vendors non-stop to get some vendor showcases and I have some great ones to post this week! I have been thinking of tons of topics that I want to blog about and I have been handed some gems through email (like Michael from the Flashdance emailed me a little gem about MTV's "The Hills" Spencer and Heidi's wedding).

So sit back, relax, maybe get a cup of tea, maybe a bowl of ice cream, whatever and enjoy! I have to say writing this blog is really starting to be my favourite part of my day!

In Honour of Earth Day....

So in honour of earth day I am recycling some info from another blog (aka I boldfaced stole it from them!)....

Sara from the 2000 dollar budget wedding  posted this a couple of weeks ago and I actually have been saving it for today.

Introducing Ecofont , this font uses up to 20% less ink by ommitting parts of the letter through the use of small dots. In small print you won't even be able to see the dots. Just go to the site to download and enjoy!

Happy earth day all!

  

An exciting holiday weekend ahead..

Ok it may be a little bit sad that I count a weekend full of blog perusing as exciting but it is rare that I have a chance to devote an entire weekend to doing nothing but seeking out new inspiration and I can't wait!

I have a few blog posts planned for the coming days and I am sure I will pick up some great new topics along my blog travels so stay tuned!

As a very quick sidenote I blogged earlier this year about Tawnya a great friend of mine and a part of In Any Events who sufferred a brain aneurysm in December of last year. Well I am excited to say I am going to visit her today at home! She was released this week from her stroke rehabilitation centre (Elizabeth Bruyere here in Ottawa) and she walked out the front door all on her own. I am so very proud of her and am in awe of her determination and drive that lead her from being completely paralysed on her left side to walking all on her own in two short months.

It is a very happy spring indeed surrounded by fantastic friends, great inspiration, and beautiful flowers popping up all over the city!

Do you want to learn more about your relationship?

Ottawa University is looking for Ottawa couples that are willing to talk to their Social Science team members about their relationship and they are willing to pay $40 to each couple for their help!

If you are interested contact them at couple@uottawa.ca .

One last thing for today

Just a little image to remind of things to come in the next couple of months. Have a wonderful rainy Saturday all.

The Flash Dance

I got a lovely email from Michael Antonia who is a DJ in LA regarding his new website. You are probably wondering why I got the email as its a bit of a commute from LA to Ottawa but I have linked to Our labour of Love in the past and Michael has teamed up with the folks at our labour of love for his new venture.

The Flashdance is a pretty cool website featuring all things music, photography, and miscellaneous in the wedding/events world.

Have I mentioned that I don't have cable?

One of the wonderful things about not having cable is that you find a lot of random stuff on the internet to keep you entertained. For instance I am completely addicted to youtube. I can't get enough of the site. Anything you can think of is on there.

I was reading Perez Hilton today (one of my guilty pleasures) and he had posted a link to watch Madonna's documentary on Malawa called I Am Because We Are which is playing in the youtube cinema at the moment. I would ask any of you with some extra time to check it out. I thought it brought a fresh light and some hope to the devastating HIV/AIDS situation in Africa. I am not sure how long it will be on youtube for but check it out if you can.
